PMC12 SUB delivers ultra-low-distortion, deep LF performance with advanced 12-inch driver design, 1000W DSP control, and scalable headroom for professional monitoring.

The PMC12 SUB is designed to supplement any PMC monitoring system as an independent low-frequency subwoofer. Like its sibling models, the PMC12 SUB shares the latest-generation ATL™ Advanced Transmission Line cabinet with the full-range PMC12, with LaminairX™ airflow venting, but lacks that model’s tweeter and midrange drivers. The single LF driver is PMC’s newly developed, in-house 12-inch bass driver featuring double-stacked magnets, a three-inch, three-layer voice coil, and a highly stable suspension. This design maintains linear motor force over an extended pistonic excursion, resulting in ultra-low distortion at all monitoring levels and performance that matches that of typical 15-inch systems.

The subwoofer is controlled and powered by PMC’s master36 rack-mountable DSP/Amplifier unit, which delivers 1000W to the bass driver from its ultra-transparent Class-D amplification. Integrated DSP offers precision digital high and low-pass filters optimised for the PMC12 SUB’s bespoke LF driver, along with transparent excursion limiting for system protection, and comprehensive room-optimisation EQ. The system accepts both analogue and digital inputs and can be controlled over a standard LAN via the SoundAlign2 browser-based interface.

Where greater LF power and headroom are required, a second PMC12 SUB can be daisy-chained and powered from the same master36 for a total of 2000W.

THE SOUNDALIGN² INTERFACE

TAKE CONTROL

SOUNDALIGN digital interface
The SoundAlign2™ web interface offers intuitive and responsive control of our near, mid, and main active DSP monitors, as well as their matching subwoofers. Each monitor speaker has a built-in web server. You can access it over a wired Ethernet connection, using any standard web browser on a PC or Mac system.

The new SoundAlign2 software will be released alongside our new main monitor systems. Existing SoundAlign users can access the updated control software via our Firmware Downloads page, ensuring a streamlined upgrade path to the enhanced SoundAlign2 platform. Notifications regarding the release date will be communicated via email and our social media channels. ABOUT SOUNDALIGN
One of the keys to our legendary natural, uncoloured sound is our Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading. ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent and efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes. Our Laminair airflow technology further enhances ATL and improves definition, timing and eradicates unwanted air noise.

WIDE DISPERSION

All PMC monitors have ultra-wide dispersion and a linear off-axis response. This creates a vast sweet spot for stereo and a seamless sound field for immersive formats, allowing sounds to be placed and adjusted with complete precision.
Conventional monitors have narrow dispersion which restricts the width of the accurate listening area
standard dispersion
PMC monitors have wide dispersion to provide accurate sound across the widest possible listening area
