Pair of AB1 Transmission Line Monitors suitable for mid and far-field applications. These loudspeakers are a classic design based on BBC expertise and sound amazing, with exceptional imaging; sound stage; realism; and natural-sounding bass extension thanks to their Transmission Line design. Trying to find a smaller replacement for the AB1s has made me really appreciate their original features: * Exceptional low frequency extension* Low colouration* Neutral yet dynamic performance* Consistent balance at all levels* Higher SPLs without distortion or compression* No masking of background detail giving extraordinary sound-stage depth and revealing recorded acoustics and reverbs* Suitable for broadcasting, post production, music and surround sound recording Usable frequency response quoted as 25Hz - 25kHz! (You can see and feel the cones moving air below 25Hz - no sub-woofer required!) Their phenomenal bass extension is great for listening to music and soundtracks, but also perfect for broadcast applications as you can hear and correct rumble, hum, LF mic pops and wind noise before transmission. Finish: Pale walnut mirrored real wood veneers (centre option in stock photo) over thick double veneered 18 mm MDF, strengthened by internal line partitioning; Black removable grilles. 240mm (9.5 inch) Bass unit (with 100mm voice coil) and Fabric (silk) soft dome Tweeter with double chamber; Crossover Frequency 2kHz. May be connected as standard or bi-wired using NeuTrik NL4 Speakon plugs. Perfect working order. Overall these are in very good cosmetic condition. Only selling as they are too large for future living space. The original Dynaudio Bass drivers had foam surrounds which could eventually perish. PMC worked with Dynaudio to develop an improved version with rubber surrounds, so both drivers in these speakers were replaced with the new units in 2015 at a cost of £444. PMC say that the current replacement model speaker for insurance purposes would be the twenty5.24i, costing £5995. (The AB1s actually have a larger bass driver.) Both these speakers have just been checked and serviced including fitting new reticulated foam covers for the Transmission Line ports. Only used in a smoke-free environment. Forensic examination of both speakers reveals: Left hand speaker has a small scratch in the paint on the rear-facing matt black panel (see photo). The Right hand speaker has very slight scratches and a graze to the top veneer and a small graze on the side veneer (see three photos). I can include the two NeuTrik connectors with short copper-rich speaker cables if required. UK BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE. Strictly no shipping. Collection in person only (from TQ1, Torquay). Demo available on collection. Payment by Paypal or Bank Transfer. (PLEASE NOTE: Studio will be closed for holidays from July 3rd to July 16th, so speakers cannot be collected during that period.)

Description: The Professional Monitor Companys AB1 transmission line monitor loudspeakers are suitable for mid and farfield applications. The AB1 is a little taller compared to its width than most studio monitors. The cabinet work is impeccably constructed and available in a choice of wood veneers. The bass/mid driver is a 9-inch (240mm) unit with a 4-inch (100mm) voice coil, while the high frequencies are handled by a l.l inch (28mm) soft dome tweeter featuring double chamber construction. Their extended response and controlled dispersion characteristics make them suitable for applications ranging from broadcast and post production to music and surround sound recordings. AB1s transmission line loading offers the following advantages over a conventionally ported loudspeaker: Exceptional low-frequency extensionLower colourationNeutral yet dynamic performanceConsistent Balance at all levelsHigher SPLs without distortion or compression The AB1 uses two low colouration drivers both capable of sustaining massive transient power peaks without compression. A 17 element 4th order crossover network integrates the units and ensures an even, neutral response with consistent image control and projection, irrespective of listening position. All internal wiring is implemented using oxygen free copper (OFC) cable.
