ATL & LaminairX Airflow Technology
Features PMC’s proprietary ATL (Advanced Transmission Line) bass loading technology to extend low-frequency reproduction. The newly developed LaminairX airflow technology suppresses port noise while delivering clean bass.
Redesigned Midrange Dome
The midrange employs redesigned dome drivers incorporating an “a-void” absorption chamber that suppresses rear radiation reflections for clear midrange reproduction.
34mm Hand-Built Soft Dome Tweeter
High frequencies are handled by a 34mm hand-built soft dome unit. PMC’s skilled craftsmen’s meticulous manufacturing process achieves smooth, extended high-frequency characteristics.
system36 Platform
The newly developed system36 platform integrates 32-bit DSP crossover processing with 3600W high-efficiency amplification. Digital processing enables precise crossover settings, while ample amplifier headroom ensures stable reproduction at all volume levels.
power20 Option
The 2000W Class-D amplifier “power20” is optionally available for driving XBD subwoofers. In environments requiring bass extension, combining with XBD base units achieves full-range reproduction.
Dolby Atmos Compatible
Supporting the immersive audio trend, the series is Dolby Atmos compatible, covering everything from Atmos mixing in studios to Atmos playback in home theaters.
Scalable Design
The Main Monitor series adopts a scalable design philosophy, from standalone use to expansion with XBD base units. Systems can be flexibly configured according to room size and application.
