The BB6 XBD-A is one of the largest active floorstanding loudspeakers in PMC's studio-derived range, built for the most demanding professional or reference-level installations. It combines transmission-line loading with multi-amplification.

Position in line

It sits at the top of PMC's active floorstanding hierarchy, above the MB3 XBD-A.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 17 Hz to 25 kHz, a very deep figure reaching infrasonic territory. Internal amplification totals 275 + 550 + 2400 W across three bands. At 208.0 x 43.2 x 79.0 cm and 136 kg per cabinet, this is far larger than a typical domestic tower.

Sound and use context

It is intended for a large studio control room or a dedicated reference listening room.

Pairing

As an active design, no external power amplifier is used - a line-level source feeds the internal amplification directly, though the room and electrical supply must both be planned around a system of this scale.

Alternatives

The QB1-A sits below this model in PMC's active flagship range.
