PMC introduce Twotwo speakers

Two-way nearfield monitoring with DSP & ATL technology

The active Twotwo series combines PMC’s world-class design pedigree and respected Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass loading technology with sophisticated digital signal processing. The result is a range of premium true reference tools designed for ultra-critical professional monitoring, in stereo or surround.

The stylish, midnight blue range initially comprises two models, the Twotwo.5 and Twotwo.6. A third, the Twotwo.8, will be added in the new year. The range is designed and built in Britain using state-of-the-art technologies and components, and the result is an unrivalled level of clarity, transparency image stability and accuracy for professional compact monitors.

Like all PMC speakers, the Twotwo series is based on ATL designs with their inherent benefits of ultra-low distortion, extended bass response and a consistent, natural-sounding frequency response. All aspects of the range, including the custom-designed 27mm precision soft-dome tweeter and the three new matt doped natural-fibre bass drivers, are new to the nearfield market. Great care has been taken to make the speakers as easy to set up and use as possible, no matter what format the input audio is in; connections include analogue phonos and XLRs as well as an AES3 digital input, which will handle all sample rates up to 192kHz.

The Twotwo range also draws upon cutting-edge technology designed for other recent PMC products. The onboard DSP engine, derived from that employed in PMC's IB2S-A, optimises the response of the drivers, guarantees a flawless crossover, maximises dispersion, and provides non-invasive protection using modelled excursion limiting. The built-in Class D dual-amplification system builds on the amplifiers developed for PMC's powered range, producing high-resolution audio with unparalleled headroom and detail, delivering 50W to the tweeter and 150W to the bass driver.

Another new design feature of the Twotwo series, reflected in the range’s rotatable logo, is that the speakers may be mounted vertically or horizontally without compromising tonal accuracy or stereo/surround imaging. The Twotwo also includes PMC’s new DeeCup vibration-reducing pads on each face, which decouple the speaker from its flat surface, and also prevent it from moving or slipping.

The Twotwo.5 and Twotwo.6 will be available from October, and the Twotwo.8 will follow in the new year.
