The PMC 6 Active 2-Way Nearfield Reference Monitor is a compact yet powerful studio monitor that brings the uncompromising accuracy of PMC’s flagship systems to smaller control rooms or as part of immersive audio setups. Designed to be incredibly revealing and transparent, it allows engineers to make critical mix decisions with absolute confidence that their work will translate perfectly to any playback system.
Core Acoustic Philosophy: ATL™ & Laminair™
At the heart of the PMC 6 is PMC’s proprietary Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) bass-loading technology, a sophisticated acoustic labyrinth that manages the air pressure within the cabinet more intelligently than traditional ported designs.
- Deeper Bass: This technology allows the 6-inch driver to achieve an exceptional low-frequency response down to 39Hz, outperforming many standard 8-inch monitors.
- Cleaner Sound: The integrated Laminair™ airflow technology at the front port exit ensures a smooth, laminar flow of air, eliminating port noise and distortion that can mask crucial midrange frequencies in other designs. The result is a clean, punchy, and well-defined low end that remains tonally balanced even at low listening levels.
- Reduced Fatigue: Reviewers often note that the PMC 6’s absence of cabinet coloration allows for longer, fatigue-free listening sessions, making them a true time-saver in a professional workflow.
Precision Engineering & Features
- Bespoke Drivers: A newly designed 6-inch (150mm) woofer with 20mm of excursion is paired with a precision-built 1-inch (27mm) fabric soft-dome tweeter featuring a shallow waveguide for wide, tonally consistent dispersion and rock-solid imaging.
- Powerful Bi-Amplification: Each monitor is bi-amplified by a pair of state-of-the-art 200W Class-D amplifiers (400W total RMS per monitor) from ICEPower, providing high power, low distortion, and excellent damping control for each driver.
- Intelligent DSP and Connectivity: A sophisticated DSP engine handles the crossover, driver protection, EQ, and delay options. Key features include:
- Automatic Orientation Correction: The DSP automatically senses whether the speaker is in portrait or landscape orientation and adjusts the crossover for optimal phase and imaging.
- SoundAlign™ Network Control: A built-in web interface (accessible via an RJ45 Ethernet port) allows for comprehensive calibration, including 5-band parametric EQ, high-pass filters, and boundary compensation settings (Free Space, Wall, Corner) from a computer or tablet.
- Versatile Inputs: The XLR input is switchable between analog and digital AES3 signals, supporting sample rates up to 192kHz.
- Expandable System:
The PMC 6 can be seamlessly paired with a PMC 8 SUB (sold separately) to create a full-range XBD system, extending the frequency response down to an impressive 25Hz via a dedicated DSP mode.
