PMC Prophecy C Centre Speaker

Available for demonstration at Fanthorpes HiFi, Hull store from February 2025.

Introduction

The PMC Prophecy C Centre Speaker is engineered to deliver exceptional voice intelligibility and seamless integration within a multichannel home theater or high-fidelity music system. Drawing on PMC’s extensive experience in professional studios worldwide—including facilities in London, LA, and Nashville, as well as Hollywood movie productions—this speaker is finely tuned to reproduce every nuance of dialogue and immersive soundtrack detail with impressive clarity and precision.

Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) Bass Loading

At the heart of the Prophecy C is PMC’s renowned Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading system, carried over from the award-winning Prophecy range. This speaker uses two mid/bass drivers placed in different positions along a long-folded transmission line. This radical approach not only enhances overall performance but also significantly reduces unwanted colorations in the critical vocal region—essential for delivering clean and intelligible dialogue.

The design’s bespoke ATL construction reduces harmonic distortion by up to 3dB, producing tight, accurate bass with exceptional timing and dynamic range. As a result, the Prophecy C can function as a full-range loudspeaker in its own right, adding weight and authority to the center channel without compromising clarity.

Innovative Design for Clear Dialogue

Ensuring clear dialogue is paramount for any center speaker. By placing its two mid/bass drive units along the transmission line at different points, the Prophecy C effectively lowers coloration and enhances integration with the treble driver. The result is crystal-clear, lifelike speech reproduction—whether you’re watching the latest blockbuster or following a documentary.

High-Quality Crossovers

The Prophecy series employs military-grade circuit boards for its high-order, steep roll-off crossovers. These designs ensure non-inhibited current flow, high reliability, and minimal coloration. The steep filter slopes also optimize each driver’s performance, widening the listening “sweet spot” and providing superb off-axis response.

Front-Venting LaminairX for Flexibility

Positioning a center speaker can be a challenge, especially in smaller or multifunctional rooms. The front-venting LaminairX port on the Prophecy C addresses this by allowing close-to-wall or in-cabinet placement without compromising sound quality. This innovative airflow management system minimizes turbulence and maintains a tight, punchy bass response, no matter where you place the speaker.

Perfect Integration with Surround Systems

Designed to integrate seamlessly with other PMC Prophecy models, the Prophecy C locks in effortlessly as part of a surround system. This ensures tonal consistency across all channels, letting you enjoy an enveloping soundstage for movies, TV, and multichannel music. Voice intelligibility remains constant, and effects pan smoothly across the front stage—putting you right in the heart of the action.

Aesthetic and Sustainable Design

Visually, the Prophecy C blends elegantly into any décor. Choose from three stunning finishes— Walnut, Mediterranean Oak, or Blackened Walnut—all sourced from sustainable veneers. Magnetic, open-weave speaker grilles can be removed for a minimalist look, showcasing the speaker’s modern design while maintaining PMC’s commitment to eco-friendly construction.

Future-Proof and Long-Lasting

Engineered to handle a wide range of amplification, the Prophecy C not only meets today’s high-performance expectations but is also versatile enough to grow with your system. As you enhance your home theater or hi-fi setup, the Prophecy C will continue to shine. Its robust design, superior driver integration, and advanced technologies ensure timeless performance.
