Step up to PMC's world-class flagship monitors
Mounted on soffit or dedicated stands, the PMC MB3-A delivers reference main monitor performance for midrange recording, mixing, broadcasting and mastering studios. It is also an excellent rear surround speaker for multi-channel music studios and film mixing studios. Utilizing PMC's custom drivers and custom amplification, the MB3-A 3-Way Active Reference Monitor delivers smooth frequency response from 20Hz to 25kHz, thanks to PMC's exclusive Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology. Furthermore, it is capable of producing high sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 126dB without distortion or loss of definition, and without causing hearing fatigue during long work sessions. PMC monitors deliver the truth, session after session, citing their supremely natural sound and ability to behave with composure at any volume.
Advanced Transmission Line Technology (ATL) delivers cleaner, deeper bass
Delivers deeper bass and greater output in smaller cabinets, delivering rich, full sound at any listening level. And because the ATL's bass extension doesn't vary with volume levels, low frequencies are well-defined and always balanced, even when listening at low volume.
Mitigates problematic frequencies and eliminates duct noise that can mask the midrange in other types of monitor speaker designs. As a result, you'll find it easier to position, for example, vocals and solo instruments in a mix, allowing you to achieve an ideal balance that translates to the world outside your studio.
Laminair aerodynamic ventilation for superior performance
PMC's Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) moves air at high speed, generating different pressures. Reducing resistance, increasing efficiency and eliminating air noise are important aspects of improving performance. PMC's Laminair ventilation achieves this goal by utilizing aerodynamic principles borrowed from the high-performance engineering of F1 and Le Mans race cars, creating a smooth laminar flow at the driveline exit. The combination of ATL and Laminair technology results in superior bass timing and an ultra-wide dynamic range, which helps PMC speakers deliver extremely natural sound and perform with complete composure at any volume.
