Description
The PMC15 XBD is a large-format, three-way, four-driver active studio reference monitor built as a two-cabinet system, with one PMC-designed 15-inch bass driver in each cabinet. High and mid frequencies are handled by a 34mm soft-dome tweeter and a PMC75v3 75mm soft-dome midrange mounted with PMC's n-compass dual-profile waveguide, while low frequencies use PMC's Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass loading with LaminairX vents. Each channel is powered by a PMC Master36 DSP/amplifier plus a power20 amplifier, supplying 800W each to the tweeter and midrange and 2000W to each of the two 15-inch bass drivers for 5600W per channel. The system accepts analogue and digital inputs up to 192kHz and is configured over a LAN using PMC's SoundAlign2 browser-based interface for digital crossovers, excursion protection, and room EQ. The two cabinets can be used freestanding, in vertical or horizontal stacks, or soffit-mounted side by side.
