PMC Prodigy 1 Standmount Speakers - Black

With prodigy, we’re bringing our performance-led design ethos to an even wider audience, building on our belief that ultra-high-resolution loudspeakers, if properly designed, can be used throughout the entire audio chain. That’s why our designs are employed at every stage of music-making, from composers’ music rooms to recording studios, all the way through to the home – preserving the essence of the original performance and delivering it directly to the listener.
And prodigy is a classic example of how we think about speakers. Designed and built in-house in Britain, it comprises two models: the compact prodigy1 standmount and the floorstanding prodigy5. Both deliver staggering clarity and depth of bass seemingly beyond their size, thanks to the ATL™ - just one of the innovative technologies packed into these speakers, as it is in all PMC designs.
Even-tempered and easy to drive, they’ll match any high-quality electronics; and, with their consistent characteristics and tonal balance, you can also easily mix and match any PMC speakers to create immersive audio systems for the latest surround music formats.
And yes, our speakers are used in creating those immersive mixes, too!
Our smaller prodigy speaker is a compact standmount/bookshelf design, ideal for small to medium-sized rooms, yet capable of a rich, dynamic sound from a diminutive form. It’s easy to see and hear that it’s closely related to our compact nearfield monitors, a reference in recording and broadcast facilities worldwide: the prodigy1 is more than capable of resolving detail that puts you in touch with the original performance – no matter the size.
The sweet, open top end and natural midrange brings you vivid vocals and instrumental timbres, with a wide, focused soundstage and nimble, cohesive presentation to draw you into the music and make you smile. And small though the speaker may be, it still contains a full-size Advanced Transmission Line and our Laminair technology, that delivers deep, fast, hard-hitting bass.
The smooth silk black finish will suit any room, with optional sculpted grilles available if required, and the prodigy1 has been designed to match well with everything from modest amplification to high-end, high-power systems.
The drivers and crossover designs prodigy uses are professionally proven, and are found in PMC speakers used in countless high-profile studios worldwide. We have more than 30 years’ experience designing drive units for the most demanding environments and ‘golden ears’. And we build both drivers and complete speakers for the utmost transparency and lowest colouration, so they impart no ‘character’ on the music.
The soft-dome tweeter is derived from our result6 studio nearfield monitors, and you’ll also find it in our custom installation speaker range. Its smooth, wide-dispersion characteristics mean it delivers exceptionally realistic all-encompassing sound and image over a huge listening space.
Like all PMC bass drivers, the prodigy LF driver is optimised for use with the ATL at the heart of all our speakers. Its natural fibre dished diaphragm with inverted dust-cap reduces unwanted high-frequency reflections from the driver surface; a high-power voice coil and ferrite magnet combines with a long excursion suspension to deliver substantial bass; and generous venting ensures utmost reliability.
