CREATING AN XBD SYSTEM
With the addition of a PMC sub unit, the PMC6, 6-2, and 8-2 can be easily
recongured as twin-cabinet XBD monitor systems. This popular and exible
format combines a full-range speaker and subwoofer to form a perfectly
integrated system with huge benets. In the case of the PMC6, the bass
response of the resulting XBD monitor is extended down to 25Hz — giving
genuine mideld monitor performance in a compact installation — and
the speaker becomes a three-way design. Because the mid-bass driver no
longer handles the lowest bass frequencies, distortion is reduced, and the
mid-range frequencies gain extra clarity, lending vocals still greater realism
and depth. Conguring a PMC6-2 or 8-2 as an XBD system reinforces the bass
output of the main speaker’s LF drivers, greatly increasing headroom all the
way down to 25Hz, creating a system with a sense of effortless capability.
It’s simple to congure an XBD system; you connect the input directly to
the main monitor, and add an AES3 digital cable to carry the main monitor
output down to the subwoofer. When you select the dedicated ‘XBD’
mode, the DSP seamlessly combines both units into a single, larger-scale
monitor. Further detailed conguration can be carried out from the rear-
panel controls or using the intuitive SoundAlign browser-based software via
the LAN connection, where both speakers appear as a single XBD unit.
