Intended use

Use Medium-sized professional recording, mixing, mastering, and outside-broadcast facilities that need a full-range main monitor reaching 20 Hz without dedicated subwoofers, with 126 dB maximum SPL and the option of soffit or stand mounting. Also suited as rear surrounds in larger multichannel rooms; PMC's Control 1200 includes 'PointOne' channel inputs for the LFE/sub channel of multichannel mixes, and a matching low-profile centre channel exists for surround configurations.
Not for Home and project-studio users or anyone monitoring nearfield in a small room — this is a main monitor system with 49 kg cabinets plus outboard rack electronics (Control 1200 and Power 2400 per side). Buyers who need a simple self-powered speaker with onboard analog inputs should also look elsewhere: the published input spec is AES3 digital (24-bit/96 kHz), and no analog input is documented on the cited sources.

It is designed for medium-sized recording, mixing, mastering, and outside-broadcast facilities, mounted in soffits or on stands, and covers the 20-60 Hz sub-bass range without requiring dedicated subwoofers.
