PMC has announced the first sale of the recently introduced QB1-A large-scale, high-resolution reference monitors, with two pairs to be implemented at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles as part of an ongoing refurbishment program—one pair for Studio A, the other for Studio B.
Capitol’s engineers and management were part of a network of international industry professionals who provided feedback on the design of the QB1-A as it evolved.
Prototype versions of the loudspeakers have been installed in Capitol Studios for some months, with regular upgrades as the product was honed in the final stages. These early versions will shortly be replaced by the first production QB1-As from the PMC factory in the U.K.
“Our relationship with Capitol has been an important element in the QB1-A project from very early in the design process,” says Paul O’Farrell-Stevens, PMC communications & artist relations manager. “And of course we’re delighted that such an iconic recording facility is providing us with our first QB1-A sale. For anyone connected with music, anywhere in the world, Capitol is one of the most instantly recognizable recording studios, with an extraordinary heritage coupled with state-of-the-art equipment.
“The QB1-A represents a step change in high-end reference monitor technology, and as Capitol Studios goes from strength to strength following its recent refit, we are very proud that our new monitors are now part of the story.”
