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.

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

endofalongcavityATL™(theAdvancedTransmissionLine).

Thiscavityisheavilydampedwithacousticmaterialspecified

carefully to absorb the upper bass and higher frequencies

Moreover, the very consistent bass driver loading brings

the welcome benefit that the frequency response remains
