The PMC IB2S-P (Passive) is a world-class 3-way studio reference monitor designed for high-end recording, mixing, and mastering facilities. It is a favored choice for legendary artists and institutions such as Kraftwerk, Metropolis Mastering, and JVC.
Core Acoustic Philosophy
The IB2S-P is built to deliver unparalleled transparency and detail without the coloration or distortion often found in lesser designs. By utilizing PMC’s proprietary Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) technology, these monitors provide deep, tight, and resonant-free bass down to 25Hz from a cabinet size that remains manageable for mid-sized control rooms.
Precision Driver Array
The speaker features a meticulously engineered 3-way driver configuration:
- Low Frequency (LF): A 10-inch (250mm) carbon-fiber/Nomex™ piston driver provides high dynamic range and reduced cone break-up for precise transient response.
- Mid Frequency (MF): The legendary PMC75 fabric soft-dome driver is the centerpiece of the system, offering increased midrange definition and clarity on par with PMC’s much larger flagship monitors.
- High Frequency (HF): A 27mm twin-chamber fabric soft-dome tweeter ensures a clear, precise top end with high-performance ferrofluid cooling for reliability.
Key Performance Benefits
- Uniform Dispersion: The system offers a wide, consistent soundstage, ensuring that frequency response remains stable even as you move around the control room.
- Low-Volume Balance: Unlike standard ported designs, ATL technology ensures that bass remains balanced and well-defined even when monitoring at low volume levels.
- Strategic Crossovers: Crossover points (380Hz and 3.8kHz) are positioned outside the critical vocal range, ensuring that voices remain exceptionally natural and focused.
- Flexible Integration: The rear panel features three pairs of 4mm sockets, allowing for tri-wiring or tri-amping to fine-tune the system’s voicing to your specific environment.
Design & Applications
Finished in a professional “Neo Black” (Studio Black), the IB2S-P is engineered for durability and sustained high-SPL performance (up to 116dB). It is equally effective for critical stereo monitoring as it is for high-end immersive audio configurations like Dolby Atmos.
