PMC – The Reference
Introduction
PMC has become the industry standard for
audio monitoring in the professional world.
With superb stereo imaging and pinpoint
accuracy from 5.1 surround sound systems,
PMC monitors demonstrate an unparalleled
listening experience. In the live broadcast
arena PMC systems are in daily use for
the BBC HDTV broadcasts, they are also
responsible for the majority of premier 5.1
Audio for DVD Mastering. PMC is also highly
regarded in the fi elds of post production and
studio monitoring.
PMC monitoring systems are used in
all genres of music and in all parts of the
production chain, as well as in the home
writing studio through to major studios
and the fi nal mastering of material for
CD and DVD release. PMC is regarded as
the ultimate critical tool for engineers
and artists.
Flagship
The large active BB5-A and MB2-A range
from PMC justly deserves the label of ‘no
compromise’. Every element has been
designed and manufactured purely for
its performance, and encompasses the
smallest detail from individual cable choice
through to hand selection of capacitors in

Professional Tools
The DB1S-A is the smallest activated
monitor from PMC with an unbeatable
response down to 50Hz. Superb power
handling and resolution make it the ideal
nearfi eld monitor for stereo and surround.
The larger activated TB2S-A has become
a fi rm favourite amongst quality conscious
broadcasters, post production, and smaller
sized studios in either surround or stereo
nearfi eld roles. The Activated IB1S-A is
an extremely fl exible three-way monitor,
Founded in 1990 by Peter Thomas of the BBC and Adrian Loader of FWO Bauch, the
combination of knowledge and a life-long passion for the music led to the production of PMC’s
fi rst product – the BB 5-A – an active main studio monitor. This design was snapped up by the
BBC Maida Vale and Metropolis Mastering and remains the world’s reference, used by Stevie
Wonder’s Wonderland Studio, Hospital HDT V Broadcast London, and for renowned classical
labels such as Decca and Harmonia Mundi. Many of today’s movie themes have been crafted
using PMC.
PMC reigns supreme throughout the leading mastering houses, broadcasters, and much
of the professional world. They believe a good loudspeaker should be able to relay the purest
intentions of the artist without colouration.

manufacture the complete device ‘in house’.
