From PMC – the producer of true reference loudspeaker
monitors–theall-newtwotwoseriescombinesPMC’sworld-class
design pedigree with sophisticated digital signal processing
and active amplification to create a range of stunningly
accurate, versatile,andcompact two-way referencegrade
monitors.

model features the same technology as its larger siblings
allowing it to performway beyond expectation. Astonishing

Advanced Transmission Line
PMC’sunique ATL™(AdvancedTransmissionLine)enclosures
have taken loudspeaker design to the highest level, using
sophisticatedcabinetconstruction,proprietarydriveunits,and
patented absorptionmaterials and techniques. The benefits
areenormouscompared to the relatively simple sealedand
porteddesignscurrentlyavailableelsewhere.
PMC’s innovativeapproachplaces thebassdrivernearone

Moreover, the very consistent bass driver loading brings
the welcome benefit that the frequency response remains
consistent regardless of listening level, and analytical
