Offered is „OB1i“ by PMC as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7977626374 ends on 29.10.2026 at 16:43 o'clock.
This is a strong deal. At €1,400, it sits well below the €1,885 25th percentile and far under the €2,371 median for recent comparable EU asks, so the price looks genuinely attractive rather than merely fair.
The OB1i is well regarded for big, controlled bass and a composed, revealing midrange, with PMC’s transmission-line loading giving it real scale without bloat. If the pair is clean and fully original, this is the kind of speaker that can be a long-term keeper; the main buyer check is just the usual one for a serious floorstander of this age: driver health, cabinet condition, and complete accessories/feet.
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.
