    "best_for": "Large-room, high-output professional work where full-range (20 Hz) reproduction is needed without a subwoofer: mastering suites, scoring\/dubbing and post-production stages, and multichannel main-monitor arrays (a matching MB3 XBD-C-A centre channel is available). The tri-amped 3225 W-per-channel design and 129 dB peak SPL suit main\/soffit-mounted monitoring at midfield-to-main distances.",
    "who_should_skip": "Small or acoustically untreated rooms and nearfield setups: at 1740 mm tall and 88 kg per side, each channel is a two-box floor stack, not a nearfield monitor. Also skip if your interface only offers analog line outputs, because PMC lists the input as AES3 digital (24-bit\/96 kHz) for this model, or if you need a compact\/lower-cost monitor.",
    "fit_notes": "Configured per channel as a stacked pair (MB3 main cabinet on top of the XBD bass cabinet); budget for the full 1740 x 380 x 535 mm footprint and 88 kg weight per side. Input sensitivity is adjustable +4 to +20 dBu. verified retail listing describes each side as running dedicated PMC Control 1200 and PMC Power 2400 electronics with an RC2 remote. A warranty of up to 20 years is available if the product is registered within 10 days of purchase.",
    "watchouts": "Sources conflict on low-frequency extension, SPL and model naming. PMC's own datasheet lists 20 Hz-25 kHz and 129 dB peak SPL for the 'MB3 XBD-A,' while retailer RSPE Audio lists 17 Hz-25 kHz and 126 dB, and some listings quote 17 Hz bass extension; the manufacturer figures are used here. The item is sold as 'MB3S XBD-A' by verified retail listing, but PMC's datasheet and most retailers label it 'MB3 XBD-A' - treat 'MB3S' as a retailer revision label mapping to the published MB3 XBD-A specs, and confirm the exact revision with the dealer. PMC lists only an AES3 digital input; verify whether an analog input is provided before purchase. Finish\/color is not stated in the written specifications (product images show a black finish).",
    "verification_questions": ["Which connections, drivers, operating systems, and sample rates are supported by this exact revision?","What cables, mounts, power supplies, or licenses are included?","Is the current retailer listing new stock, demo stock, open box, or special order?","Is the item still in stock at the displayed price, and what is the complete delivered cost to the intended destination?"]
