Again, the speaker is configurable directly via the rear panel or using the browser-based SoundAlign\u2122 software from a computer or tablet.<\/p>\n<p>Together with the precisely tuned ATL\u2122 cabinet and hexagonal Laminair\u2122 vents, the PMC8-2 delivers phenomenal performance that approaches that of our Main reference monitors, with smooth and consistent bass response down to 25Hz, a revealing mid-range and wide, stable sound-staging. As with the rest of the range, the PMC8-2\u2019s superb definition, fidelity, dynamics and bass accuracy allow mix decisions to be made quickly with complete confidence, and with no listening fatigue even after long sessions.<\/p>\n<p>PMC8-2s can be upgraded through the addition of a PMC8-2 SUB to create an XBD system, enhancing the system\u2019s bass headroom by 6dB. Dedicated short and taller floor-stands are available for the PMC8-2 and PMC8-2 XBD systems which position them on the ideal listening axis.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Active 3-way nearfield reference monitor with ATL\u2122 bass loading<\/li>\n<li>Frequency response: 25Hz &#8211; 25kHz (- 3dB @1m full space, on-axis)<\/li>\n<li>Max. cont.
