with Laminair vent
The source of PMC’s legendary natural,
realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission
Line (ATL) bass-loading, which uses the
energy that the bass unit generates in the
most intelligent and efcient way. The highly
braced cabinet is lined with proprietary
acoustic materials that absorb all but the
very lowest frequencies. These exit from a
front vent, extending the low frequencies
to create the response of a far larger and
more powerful speaker.
It is not just about bass: because the low
end is so clean and clear, it doesn’t mask
the rest of the music, meaning vocals are
beautifully projected and ultra-vivid.
There are other benets too: the bass
extension doesn’t change with volume level
– so even when listening quietly, the bass
sounds rich and well dened. Moreover,
they are less dependent on room effects
to enhance the bass, making it simple to
position where you want them.
The benets:
• More detailed, more natural
• Full, rich sound at any volume level
• Deeper bass from a smaller cabinet
• Ease of positioning
