Product information "PMC 6 XBD Pair"
The PMC6 XBD is a mid-field reference monitor system that combines the PMC6 monitor with the PMC8 SUB to achieve a true three-way design. By extending the bass response from 39 Hz down to 25 Hz, it delivers deep, accurate low frequencies while reducing distortion and increasing headroom. The mid-bass driver is freed from reproducing the lowest bass frequencies, giving the midrange more clarity and realism, especially for vocals.
Configuring the PMC6 XBD is simple: connect the PMC6 input, then use an AES3 digital cable to carry the main monitor ‘through’ output to the PMC8 SUB. The cabinets can communicate via LAN or directly through network ports. Selecting ‘XBD’ mode seamlessly integrates both units into a single larger-scale monitor. Advanced settings can be adjusted from rear-panel controls or through the intuitive SoundAlign™ browser-based software, which displays both speakers as a single PMC6 XBD unit when linked.
