PMC 6-2 Active Studio Monitors (Pair)

The PMC 6-2 Active Studio Monitor is a high-quality, professional-grade studio monitor designed to deliver exceptional audio performance and accuracy. Here are some key features and details about the PMC 6-2:

Speaker Configuration:

The PMC 6-2 is a 3-way active monitor speaker that features two custom 6-inch ultra-long-throw bass drivers, a 2-inch soft-dome mid-range unit (PMC55), and a precision-built one-inch soft-dome tweeter. This configuration provides a wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction.

Amplification:

Each of the bass drivers is individually powered by a 400W Class-D amplifier, resulting in powerful and precise low-frequency reproduction. The monitor also features advanced DSP-based crossovers for seamless integration of the drivers.

ATL Bass-Loading Technology:

The PMC 6-2 utilizes Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology, which enhances bass extension and maintains tonal balance at all listening levels. This technology reduces coloration and provides well-defined low-frequency response.

SoundAlign Software:

The monitor can be configured and controlled using the SoundAlign web interface, accessible via a standard Ethernet connection. This allows for individual or group control of multiple monitors, with access to various DSP functions, EQ settings, and presets.

Upgrade Path:

The PMC 6-2 can be upgraded to a full-range XBD system by adding a PMC8.2 SUB and selecting XBD mode. This extends the frequency response down to 25Hz and provides additional headroom for demanding audio applications.

New Drivers:

The PMC 6-2 features newly designed 150mm bass drivers and a customized tweeter from SB Acoustics, known for their high-quality drive units. These drivers contribute to improved accuracy and transparency in audio reproduction.

N-Compass Waveguide:

The midrange driver is mounted in PMC’s proprietary ‘N-compass’ waveguide, optimizing dispersion for a coherent and linear response across a wide horizontal and vertical area.

ICEPower Amplifiers:

The monitor is quad-amplified with next-generation ICEPower amplifiers, providing 400 watts to each of the four drivers. ICEPower is a well-regarded company in the field of Class D amplification.

Mix Translation:

The PMC 6-2 aims to provide accurate midrange clarity, which is crucial for mixing and ensuring that your mixes translate well to various playback systems. The ATL technology helps eliminate troublesome frequencies and port noise, allowing for better placement of vocals and instruments in a mix.

Applications:

The PMC 6-2’s compact form factor and exceptional performance make it suitable for various audio applications, including recording studios, mobile recording trucks, and other scenarios where space is limited but high-quality monitoring is essential.

In summary, the PMC 6-2 Active Studio Monitor offers a combination of advanced technology, precise audio reproduction, and versatile control options, making it a valuable tool for audio professionals and studios seeking top-tier monitoring solutions.
