ATL has taken loudspeaker design to new levels, by using a cabinet construction and<br />
highly specifi ed drive unit and crossover components. The PMC ATL design has enormous<br />
benefi ts compared to sealed and ported models available elsewhere. The main driver is<br />
placed at one end of a long tunnel (the transmission line), which is heavily damped with<br />
PMC’s proprietary absorbent acoustic material. This material is exactly specifi ed to soak<br />
up the upper bass frequencies, which radiate from the rear of the main driver. The lowest<br />
frequencies emerge in phase from the large vent at the end of the line, effectively acting as<br />
a second driver. The air pressure behind the main driver is maintained controlling the driver<br />
in a vice like grip over a wide frequency range, which eradicates spurious cone movement<br />
that would lead to distortion. The upper bass and midrange is entirely transparent as it is<br />
not masked by harmonic distortion residing in the very low frequencies, which is a feature of<br />
less sophisticated designs. ATL produces higher SPLs and lower bass extension than any<br />
other design of a similar size, even if identical drivers were used. The frequency response<br />
also remains consistent regardless of volume. Neither late night listening, nor prolonged<br />
monitoring sessions have to be conducted at high volumes to achieve maximum bass<br />
response – ideal <strong>for</strong> the home and professional alike.<br />
Philosophy<br />
PMC’s design philosophy is quite a<br />
simple one, to design the ideal monitoring<br />
solution with the highest resolution<br />
possible without colouration and distortion.<br />
This supreme level of resolution<br />
is derived through unequalled R&D into<br />
(ATL) Advanced Transmission Line<br />
Loudspeaker design and drive<br />
unit technology.<br />
Also PMC’s close association with<br />
principle engineers has allowed<br />
development of innovative solutions <strong>for</strong> the<br />
latest recording techniques and changing<br />
monitoring environments. The design<br />
team has a clear vision of what must be<br />
achieved, there<strong>for</strong>e all of the PMC range is<br />
voiced identically, from the DB 1S+ through<br />
to the BB 5 XBD-A. The balance is neutral<br />
and dynamic with wide dispersion, making<br />
image placement pin point over a huge<br />
listening window. The PMC user is one<br />
which is pioneering in their fi eld, and will<br />
not settle <strong>for</strong> less than the best.<br />
