PMC launches compact nearfield monitor at AES
- Details
PMC’s new two-way active result6 loudspeaker “combines all the attributes for which the company’s pro reference monitors are internationally renowned”. These include high resolution and detail, accurate and extended bass, consistent tonal balance on all levels and wide dispersion and sweet spot - all distilled into an affordable nearfield reference with the emphasis on elegant simplicity.
The two-way design features a 27mm soft-dome tweeter with dispersion grille and a mid/bass unit composed of a doped natural fibre, both custom-designed for the result6. The LF driver was developed using a aser-based measurement system, recently introduced into the design process at PMC, which determines the electromechanical performance of the driver with extreme accuracy and allows the bass driver to be perfectly integrated with the Advanced Transmission Line - the proprietary bass-loading system at the heart of all PMC products.
The built-in dual amplifiers supply 65W and 100W of power to the HF and LF drivers respectively
"The result6 provides the perfect introduction to the benefits of ATL technology for audio professionals new to our range," explains Oliver Thomas, PMC's head of design. "Of course, as is the PMC way, a great deal of advanced design work has been involved behind the scenes. There are no overly complex DSP-based user options or room profiles; instead, the result6 achieves its characteristically neutral, dependable reference sound solely on the strength of its meticulous engineering. From the user's perspective, you can plug it in and immediately trust what you hear, allowing you to create the best-sounding results in the shortest possible time."
Also on show at AES is the company’s ever popular twotwo series of studio monitors. In addition, PMC has a separate demo room (1E06) where it is demonstrating some of its larger studio monitors such as the flagship QB1-XBD-A and IB2-XBD-A monitor systems and the Award-winning MB3S-XBD-A and BB6 monitors that were launched earlier this year at NAMM.
Demonstrations and playbacks will be supported by PMC’s Masters of Audio seminar programme - a lively and popular series of events featuring a select group of eminent, world-renowned music professionals.
