PMC 6-XBD Active Studio Monitors Pair

PMC 6-XBD Active Studio Monitor:

The PMC6-XBD System combines the PMC6 midfield studio monitor with two PMC 8 Sub to create a compact midfield monitoring system with true three-way operation, reducing distortion and increasing headroom.

The PMC6-XBD extends the frequency response down to 25Hz and increases the clarity by reducing low-frequency distortion occurring in the midrange driver. The result is a more realistic sound and greater depth.

Configuration is easy and consists of connecting the input to the PMC6 and linking the main speakers to the sub via the AES digital cable “through” output. Both cabinets can also be linked via LAN or chained together directly via their Network ports.

The XBD mode combines speakers and corresponding sub into a single large scale full-range monitor. Additional DSP controls can also be accessed via the rear panel or via the SoundAlign software via LAN connection. When linked, each Speaker and relative sub appears as one PMC6 XBD speaker in the software.

It’s simple to configure the PMC6 XBD system; connect the input directly to the PMC6, and add an AES3 digital cable to carry the main monitor ‘through’ output down to the PMC8 SUB. The two cabinets can be connected either to a LAN or directly to each other via their network ports. When you select the dedicated ‘XBD’ mode the DSP seamlessly combines both units into a single, larger-scale monitor. Further detailed configuration 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 PMC6 XBD unit when linked.
