PMC15 SUBxbd enhances PMC15’s LF headroom and consistency with a matching 15-inch driver, ATL design, and seamless 1000W DSP integration for XBD performance.

The PMC15 SUBxbd is designed to improve the low-frequency performance of the PMC15 active three-way monitor, creating a PMC15 XBD system that delivers greater headroom and more consistent LF response throughout the listening space. Flexible configuration options include vertical tower or horizontal side-by-side setups, with support for both free-standing and soffit-mounted installations, allowing seamless integration into a wide range of control room designs.

At its core, the PMC15 SUBxbd employs the same 15-inch long-throw bass driver as the PMC15 master monitor, preserving transient accuracy and tonal coherence throughout the system. This driver is housed within PMC’s latest Advanced Transmission Line enclosure, incorporating LaminairX™ airflow technology to reduce turbulence and suppress unwanted artefacts, even at high SPLs. The result is deeper low-frequency extension with exceptionally low harmonic distortion across the operating range.

Power, signal management, and system control are handled by the existing PMC15 master36 electronics platform, eliminating the need for additional amplification. The configurable amplifier delivers up to 1000 W while retaining the platform’s full feature set, including transparent excursion limiting for driver protection and precise room-optimisation equalisation. System setup and control are managed via a standard LAN connection using SoundAlign2, PMC’s browser-based control interface.

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.

New Mid Range

THE RADICAL MID-RANGE DRIVER

Hand-built without compromise, our latest 75 mm soft-dome mid-range driver builds upon the legendary PMC75—the transducer that has defined PMC’s signature vocal transparency for over three decades. Re-engineered with decisive, forward-thinking innovations, the PMC75v3 establishes a new benchmark in mid-range resolution and transparency, revealing detail, nuance, and balance at a level demanded by the world’s most discerning.

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
