PMC MB2SE Passive Floor-Standing Loudspeakers

Description

MB2SE

MB is the mid-sized model in the SE range and delivers all the emotion and clarity of the IB2 with the ability to resolve even greater bass detail. The PMC MB2SE can produce low-frequency audio down to a staggering 20 Hz with ease.

The radically engineered Radial™ bass unit with its immense exoskeleton offers excellent physical and thermal stability. The drive cone has a perfect rigid structure, permitting enormous excursions, and the exposed fins act as a heat sink, keeping the coil cool at all times.

With passive loudspeakers, the choice of amplification is left up to the end user. If you already own 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. The passive crossover’s foundation is its military-grade, glass-fibre board with the thickest possible conductive copper tracks, which 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.

A dedicated MB2-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.
