PMC has announced the introduction of the new PMC6, PMC6-2, and PMC8-2 studio monitors as well as their associated subwoofers, the PMC8 SUB and PMC8-2 SUB.
The new monitors are equipped with all-new drivers, sophisticated DSP and class-D amplifiers, and they also incorporate significant improvements to the company’s proprietary ATL bass-loading and Laminair air flow technologies. PMC CEO Jeff Willcocks states, “PMC has always understood what is required by world-class recording professionals and our monitors are internationally renowned for delivering exceptional sound quality. The launch of this new range represents a huge leap forward, both for the company and the customers we serve. We know that the level of excellence we can now deliver is unmatched and will have an enormous and positive impact on the professional audio industry.”
PMC’s Commercial Director Oliver Thomas, who played a key part in the design of the new range, adds: “From the outset, our aim was to raise the bar in terms of what could be achieved with near and midfield monitoring and to deliver a system that would be ideal for every application, from traditional stereo to the latest immersive audio systems. The last five years have been incredibly intensive as we have looked at every element of monitor design to see how we can reduce colouration and dramatically improve resolution. We now know that what we have created will be extremely significant to all sectors of the professional audio market and we are incredibly proud of this achievement. By offering monitors in different sizes and with correspondingly differing bass extensions and maximum SPLs, we can cater for every customer and every room size without compromising PMC’s renowned sound quality.”
The low-frequency extension of the new designs belies the cabinet dimension due to advancements in both woofer and ATL bass-loading technology. The active subs can be combined with the monitors to create one of PMC’s unique twin-cabinet XBD systems that deliver extended bass and dynamics. Alternatively, they can be used as stand-alone LF monitors for sub channels. An expansion card slot is also provided for planned future signal interfacing options.
Configuration can be done via simple menu-driven controls on the rear panel or through the company’s SOUNDALIGN network interface. Accessed through wired connections to any standard network via any web-browser on a PC, Mac or Tablet, SOUNDALIGN’s digital connectivity allows users to individually control each monitor or set them up in defined groups for larger scale immersive systems.
“Today´s producers and engineers naturally demand the very best from their reference loudspeakers, and we have delivered exactly that with the highest resolution compact nearfield and mid-field loudspeakers currently available,” Thomas notes. “Feedback from field trials we have carried out with leading industry professionals in PMC’s community have been overwhelmingly positive. Whether you’re composing, recording, mixing, or mastering, our new monitors guarantee the best possible results in the shortest possible time.”
PMC is now taking pre orders for all models in the new range.
