PMC 6 | PMC Speakers

The PMC6 is packed with innovation and providing the same sonic signature as our renowned larger monitors, it’s ideal for smaller control rooms or for use in larger immersive systems, where its astounding resolution allows critical mix decisions to be made with absolute confidence.

With 20mm of excursion, the bespoke 6-inch bass driver is designed specifically to integrate with our latest ATL™ bass-loading and Laminair™ airflow technologies. The combination outperforms most 8-inch monitors, offering unparalleled bass extension, headroom, dynamics, and low distortion at all levels. The high end is courtesy of a one-inch precision-built fabric soft-dome tweeter, with a shallow waveguide that creates wide, tonally consistent dispersion and rock-solid imaging. Both the bass and treble drivers are precisely and individually controlled by a pair of 200W ultra-low-distortion, high-damping-factor Class-D amplifiers.

Whether in portrait or landscape placement, the PMC6’s sophisticated DSP engine automatically adjusts the crossover, ensuring optimum tonal accuracy, phase and imaging.

The monitor can be calibrated using the rear-panel controls or with PMC’s intuitive browser-accessible SoundAlign™ software.
The PMC6 can be upgraded by adding a PMC8 SUB to create a full-range, free-standing PMC6 XBD system. Activating the ‘XBD’ DSP mode ensures the perfect marriage of the two units, creating a clean LF extension down to 25Hz.

"I can’t believe how much better these speakers sound than any other speaker I’ve heard. The only speakers that sound better than the PMC’s I own are the PMC’s I can’t afford yet. "

Mr J, Glendale

"While early in their new home, my PMC 6’s have been a demonstrably better experience than all previous near-field reference monitors I have owned. There was an immediate improvement in the availability and presence of “depth” as well as being a massive improvement in frequency separation across the spectrum. It is meaningfully easier to identify problem areas and address them equitably and in a way that is translatable to other formats and systems. As importantly, they still feel fun while doing so. "

Mr D, Glendale

"The detail and clarity in these speakers is unbelievable! They perform as well as high end ATC SCM100 ASL with a much smaller footprint, and less than a quarter of the price, Truly incredible!! "

Mr R, Vancouver

"Well, I need to mix on them a little while before I can give an honest opinion but so far so good. I think some great improvements were made from the two two series moving on to this series. The stereo field seems like it has more depth to me. Tighter bass than before and the LCD screen for setting up parameters is excellent. Really love that it’s so easy to scroll through the menu. Same great sound as before. Looking forward to creating some great mixes on them. "

Mr J, Los Angeles

"Early days, but so far they sound fantastic! "

Mr S, Tipton

"These are easily the best monitors I’ve ever owned. They are so clinical and 3D that I only wish I had enough money to by the 3-ways. "

Mr K, Portland
