TRUE Discerning music makers regard our monitors as the absolute reference; they are found throughout the audio chain, from composer to recording or mixing, through post-production, mastering and broadcast. They deliver a forensic level of detail that allows you to work faster without fatigue with complete confidence, knowing that your finished mix will translate technically and emotionally anywhere.
PMC6 If you are a professional who needs the last word in reliable reference monitoring in a compact form, then the PMC6 active two-way is the answer. Packed with innovation and providing the same sonic signature as our renowned larger monitors, it’s ideal for smaller control rooms or for use in larger immersive systems, where its astounding resolution allows critical mix decisions to be made with absolute confidence.
PMC6-2 A serious near/midfield monitoring tool that fits easily within any control room or immersive system, the PMC6-2 is unmatched in its outstanding clarity, forensic resolution, and sheer impact. It provides main-monitor scale, depth, and dynamics, and allows mix decisions to be made quickly, with absolute certainty and without fatigue.
PMC8-2 With its larger cabinet, pair of powerful 8-inch long-throw bass drivers and huge dynamic range, this three-way active studio monitor is designed to provide critical reference monitoring in the most demanding environments, including for large-scale scoring sessions and in post-production and mastering suites.
PMC8 SUB The PMC8 SUB is a true low-frequency reference monitor which extends the bass response of your speaker system, imparting more of our signature ultraclean, ultra-fast low end to any setup. It can be used as a compact standalone subwoofer within conventional multichannel systems, or as an XBD cabinet (and stand), creating a full-range PMC6 XBD midfield monitor. When used in this way, the dedicated ‘XBD’ DSP mode marries the speakers and sub unit together, creating a coherent full-range system.
PMC8-2 SUB The PMC8-2 SUB is a larger subwoofer for full-bandwidth, high-resolution reference monitoring in the most demanding professional environments. A true low-frequency monitor like the PMC8 SUB, and offering the same DSP engine and seamless integration with surround and immersive systems, the PMC8-2 SUB betters the spec of its smaller sibling, offering higher maximum SPL output all the way down to 25Hz.

CREATING AN XBD SYSTEM With the addition of a PMC sub unit, the PMC6, 6-2, and 8-2 can be easily reconfigured as twin-cabinet XBD monitor systems. This popular and flexible format combines a full-range speaker and subwoofer to form a perfectly integrated system with huge benefits. In the case of the PMC6, the bass response of the resulting XBD monitor is extended down to 25Hz — giving genuine midfield monitor performance in a compact installation — and the speaker becomes a three-way design.
We provide ultimate monitoring solutions and support so you can truly push the boundaries of the Dolby Atmos Music format. Our professional active monitor speakers exceed Dolby´s specification requirements, and our experience is unparalleled. We are the world leader with a vast range of the highest resolution monitors available in numerous sizes and formats.
The SoundAlign web interface is a highly intuitive and responsive means of controlling and configuring our nearfield and mid-field active DSP monitors (and the two associated subwoofers). Each monitor speaker incorporates an internal web-server accessible over a standard wired Ethernet connection using any typical web-browser on any smart-phone, tablet, PC, or Mac computer.
TECHNICALLY& SONICALLY SUPERIOR BASS ATL™ bass-loading technology offers the following advantages over ported and sealed monitors: • • • • • Exceptional LF extension with no colouration Identical tonal balance at all levels Higher SPLs without compression or listener fatigue More efficient A truly accurate response that translates PMC’s unique ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) remains consistent.
ENGINEERING THE AIR ITSELF Our holistic design process has led us to study the physics of every part of our monitors thoroughly, including air flow. Our powerful Studio drivers produce high-velocity air movements at the exit vents from our transmission lines, and careful analysis shows that the flow can become resistive and turbulent if uncontrolled. This wastes energy and leads to colouration, audible in our otherwise ultra-low-noise designs.
SUPREME HIGHS & MIDS PMC´s legendary reputation for its world-leading soft-dome midrange drive units has been extended through the introduction of the PMC55 2-inch driver employed in the three-way PMC6-2 and PMC8-2 mid-field monitors. This innovative unit is a development of our renowned 3-inch PMC75 mid-range driver used in our professional Main Monitors (IB2, MB3, BB6, QB1), and is optimised for the more compact active nearfield and midfield speakers.
LOW DOWN & CLEAN Every element of our active nearfield and midfield monitors has been newly engineered specifically for this application, and one very important facet in the stunning performance-to-size ratio of our active near and midfield reference monitors is our custom-designed bass drivers.
POWER, CONNECTIONS & CONTROL Each driver in the PMC6, 6-2 and 8-2 monitors is independently powered by one of PMC’s next generation of DSP-controlled Class-D amplifiers. Like the speaker drivers themselves, these have been designed from first principles for maximum transparency and resolution, with a high damping factor and ultra-low distortion, resulting in a flat frequency response at all levels.
