For sale: complete professional monitor setup, consisting of a pair of pmc ib1s, a powersoft quattrocanali 2404 dsp (4×600 w = 2.400 W) and a pair of k&m 26791 monitor stands. The complete set was
At €7,500, this sits a touch below the recent used median of €7,980 and under the 75th percentile at €8,220, so it reads as a solid fair-to-good buy rather than an aggressive ask. For a pair of PMC IB1S, that’s sensible money in today’s EUR market: not a bargain-bin score, but priced close enough to the middle that a serious buyer can engage without feeling they’re paying a premium.
The appeal here is straightforward: IB1S is a respected monitor-style speaker with the kind of scale, control, and low-end authority that keeps it relevant long after newer designs arrive. If the cabinets and drive units are clean, it’s the sort of speaker that can anchor a high-quality system for years, so the main upside is getting a well-regarded pro-leaning design at a sensible used price. At this level, I’d mainly want to confirm driver condition, original accessories, and whether the pair has had careful home use rather than hard studio abuse.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PMC, the Professional Monitor Company, was founded in 1991 in the UK by Peter Thomas, a BBC engineer, and Adrian Loader, an acoustics specialist from FWO Bauch. Dissatisfied with existing studio monitors that couldn't balance high-volume pop and rock playback with ultra-high resolution, they developed transmission line technology, debuting the BB5-A active monitor. This breakthrough quickly won over prestigious clients like the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, Metropolis Mastering, and artists including Prince and Stevie Wonder, establishing PMC's heritage in precision audio engineering.
The brand focuses primarily on loudspeakers, renowned for their advanced transmission line designs that deliver uncolored, natural sound across professional and domestic applications. From compact home models like the LB1 to high-end studio references and Dolby Atmos systems, PMC's hand-built UK products dominate mastering houses, broadcasters, and home hi-fi setups. They emphasize matched components, rigorous testing, and cabinet integrity to preserve the artist's intent without compromise.
PMC holds a commanding position in the high-end market, bridging pro audio and discerning home listeners with studio-grade accuracy. As an independent British icon, it monopolizes elite facilities worldwide—from Capitol Studios to Universal Music Group—and earns accolades like membership in Germany's High End Society, appealing to audiophiles who demand reference-level transparency and emotional depth.
