Technology
DEEPER, CLEARER, CLEANER BASS & MORE
• 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.

ACTIVE SYSTEMS
PMC’s active designs take our loudspeakers to another level. In our
active se systems, the loudspeakers are matched with dedicated PMC audiophile amplification and active crossovers, custom-tailored to the precise designs and power requirements of the loudspeakers; the amplification is also directly coupled to the drive units for superior control and a more efficient transfer of energy.
Each piece of electronics is hand crafted according to ensure quality, neutrality and transparency; the result is a natural-sounding, lifelike speaker with unmatched headroom, resolution and dynamics. The active crossovers used with our se systems also feature in-room tuning controls to allow the speakers to be adjusted to perfectly suit individual tastes and room acoustics; to guarantee optimum performance in situ, they are always tuned by our factory-trained installation engineers.
A distinguishing feature of our active range, developed especially for its high power handling requirements, is the 34mm tweeter. The highly engineered design delivers HF sound with vastly enhanced detail and wider imaging thanks to its ‘acoustic lens’, which alone took 18 months of development.
