PMC IB2SE Passive Floor-Standing Loudspeakers

Description

IB2SE

No other loudspeaker of comparable size can compete with the transparency or dynamics of the PMC IB2SE. The combination of the legendary PMC75 mid-range driver and mighty 10-inch piston driver results in exhilarating, emotional performances. Guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning audiophile and music lover.

With passive loudspeakers, the choice of amplification is left up to the end user. If you already have a favoured amplifier, this may be the route to take; with a supreme-quality amplifier, you are guaranteed superb performance. Much of this is due to the careful design of PMC speakers passive crossovers, which divide the incoming audio signal into the frequency bands best suited to each driver with absolute precision and transparency.

The calibre of any crossover exerts a powerful influence on the overall sound quality of a loudspeaker. Unsurprisingly, PMC allow no compromises in either the design or construction standards of this key component. The passive crossover’s foundation is its military-grade, glass-fibre board featuring the thickest possible conductive copper tracks. These keep resistance low and maximise power delivery to the drive units.

Components are matched and selected following careful listening tests, and hand-soldered to guarantee the best possible sound quality and reliability. The layout of the board is carefully chosen to prevent unwanted interactions between components.

The source of PMC’s legendary natural, realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology, professionally proven all around the world. ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent, efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes.

The IB2’s roots lie in the professional studio realm, where it has become the reference for the world’s leading music-makers and producers, including Kraftwerk, Japan’s premier studio JVC, and Teldex of Berlin, who record for the premier classical label Deutsche Grammophon.

A dedicated IB2-C SE centre channel is also available.

PMC

The Professional Monitor Company was founded in 1991 by Peter Thomas of the BBC and Adrian Loader of FWO Bauch.

Their combination of knowledge and a life-long passion for music led to the production of PMC’s first product, which was snapped up by BBC Maida Vale Studios and Metropolis Mastering and has remained the world’s reference ever since. PMC are one of the very few companies who have been awarded an Emmy for their contribution to recording excellence., and the company reigns supreme throughout the leading mastering houses, broadcasters and much of the professional world.

PMC believe a good loudspeaker should be able to relay the purest intentions of the artist without colouration – The ideal solution for both studio & home.
