The PMC8-2 SUB is a larger subwoofer for full-bandwidth, high-resolution reference monitoring in the most demanding professional environments.

The PMC 8-2 SUB is a true low-frequency monitor like the PMC8 SUB and offering the same DSP engine and seamless integration with surround and immersive systems, the PMC8-2 SUB betters the spec of its smaller sibling, offering higher maximum SPL output down to 25Hz.

With the same dimensions as the PMC8-2 midfield monitor, the PMC8-2 SUB’s twin eight-inch bass drivers are powered by independent 400W Class-D amplifiers. The same configuration options are available as on the PMC8 SUB, likewise accessible on the speaker’s rear panel or by using the browser-based SoundAlign™ software via a LAN-connected tablet, smartphone or computer.

The PMC8-2 SUB can be used as a standalone subwoofer for multichannel and immersive sound systems, or as an XBD cabinet with either PMC6-2 or PMC8-2 s, creating a system of awesome power and dynamic range. The sub is available in either left- or right-handed cabinet versions (PMC8-2 SUB-L or PMC8-2 SUB-R), to allow placement of the bass drivers on the outside edges of a stereo array, matching the arrangement of the main monitors.

THE SOUNDALIGN INTERFACE

TAKE CONTROL

SOUNDALIGN digital interface
soundalign devices
The SoundAlign™ web interface is a simple and intuitive means of controlling and configuring our nearfield and midfield active monitors and subwoofers. Each monitor incorporates an internal web server accessible over a standard wired Ethernet connection using a web browser on any smartphone, tablet, PC, or Mac. It makes set-up easy, whether it’s stereo or the most complex immersive system.
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.
ABOUT ATL & LAMINAIR
PMC 6 ATL Cutaway
Conventional monitors have narrow dispersion which restricts the width of the accurate listening area

PMC monitors have wide dispersion to provide accurate sound across the widest possible listening area

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.
