DESCRIPTION

When we decided to create a new, powerful, compact subwoofer for use in home theatre or two-channel set-ups, we weren’t going to contradict nature. Instead of a box, we based it on a bubble: the natural way of containing internal pressures without resorting to corners and edgers.

It’s a beautiful solution to the problems that plague conventional subwoofers. In the PV1, the tremendous air pressures that stress the panels of normal, flat-sided subs at higher output levels are dispersed evenly around a rigid, continuous shell, reducing unwanted vibrations to a bare minimum.

The PV1’s added stability means it can be pushed just that bit further. The symmetrical mounting of its twin drive units keeps the subwoofer perfectly balanced and anchored to the floor. So there’s no rattle when it rumbles. The back-to-back arrangement also further improves the distribution of pressure inside the speaker. Coupled to 500W of ICEpower® amplification, the drivers have the dynamics and control to deliver all a subwoofer should. A group of simple controls allow you to tailor the PV1’s output precisely to your needs and those of your system.

All you hear is unimpaired bass that expands and deepens every listening experience. A big sound from a small bubble.

"The MM-1's have a very realistic, balanced sound, they open up the soundfield and effortlessly deliver detail in the music that you'd missed before."
