LOW DOWN & CLEAN
Every element of our active neareld and mideld monitors has been newly
engineered specically for this application, and one very important facet
in the stunning performance-to-size ratio of our active near and mideld
reference monitors is our custom-designed bass drivers.
The Studio6 and Studio8 woofers have been developed hand-in-hand with
the latest evolution of our unique ATL
™
cabinet design with Laminair
™
vents –
these technologies interact with each other in such complex ways that they
must be created as a single cohesive entity. The results set new standards
of performance, depth, dynamics, and detail with extraordinarily compact
cabinets.
Fundamental to the design of these innovative drive units is a massive,
vented motor assembly comprising double-stacked magnets with an
unusually long voice-coil and a very robust double-spider suspension.
Together, these components maintain a consistently linear motor force
throughout a colossal pistonic excursion range, guaranteeing extremely
natural, low distortion sound at all levels.
The face of the driver has a smooth, uninterrupted prole to optimise its
acoustic coupling to the air, while a second bonded layer at the rear
makes the complete structure both extremely stiff and very well damped.
This meticulously engineered design extends the working bandwidth of the
driver by over two octaves beyond the crossover region which ensures much
lower distortion than conventional woofer designs, and an exceptionally
clean, neutral and accurate midrange with a stunning transient response.
Our Studio6 bass driver outperforms most 8-inch monitors, delivering an
unparalleled bass extension to 33Hz in the compact PMC6-2 speaker. The
larger 8-inch Studio8 unit employs the same technology but has an even
larger excursion range, higher maximum SPL, and extension down to 25Hz
in the PMC8-2 and subs.
