PMC8 SUB

Active DSP Subwoofer

The PMC8 SUB can be used as a compact stand-alone subwoofer within conventional multichannel systems, or as an XBD cabinet, creating a full-range PMC6 XBD midfield monitor. When used in this way, the dedicated ‘XBD’ DSP mode marries the speakers and sub unit together, creating a coherent full-range system. PMC subs are also perfectly suited to use in multi-channel and immersive systems, as the ATL™ bass-loading technology provides a gentler low-order LF roll-off than conventional ported cabinets, allowing a smoother, seamless integration between the height and surround channels and the sub.

Featuring one custom eight-inch long-throw bass-driver, the PMC8 SUB is powered by a single 300W Class-D amplifier and controlled by the same powerful DSP engine as PMC other active models. DSP facilities include sophisticated room boundary equalisation options, parametric EQ, time delay, phase inversion, and the unique XBD mode, all configured via the loudspeaker’s rear panel or the browser-based SoundAlign™ software.

ATL™ Technology (Advanced Transmission Line)

• Greater detail & more natural
• A full, rich sound at any volume level
• Deeper bass from a smaller cabinet

The source of PMC’s legendary natural, realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology, professionally proven all around the world.

ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent, efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes.
