PMC reinvents its Main Monitors for the modern studio with all-new drivers and support for immersive workflows

PMC has unveiled its new Main Monitor Series, marking the company’s 35th anniversary and its first complete redesign of main monitoring systems in more than three decades.

It’s the most significant update since the range was last refreshed ten years ago, with improvements focused on clarity, lower distortion and increased headroom for modern music, film and immersive audio workflows.

Designed and built entirely in-house, the new series draws on PMC’s long-standing work with top-tier recording, scoring and post-production studios. From driver technology to system architecture and software control, every aspect of monitor performance has been reworked to meet the demands of today’s multichannel and spatial audio environments.

At the heart of the new range is a completely redesigned low-frequency system. PMC has developed a new generation of large-format bass drivers to work alongside an evolved version of its ATL bass-loading system and LaminairX airflow technology. The result is controlled, natural-sounding low end even at very high playback levels.

Midrange duties are handled by PMC’s newly developed PMC75v3 soft-dome driver, which incorporates the company’s a-void absorber to reduce rear-wave reflections. In practice, this means a clearer, more open midrange that makes it easier to judge vocals, dialogue and complex mixes. High frequencies are delivered by a new 34mm soft-dome HF driver, designed for low distortion and fatigue-free listening during long sessions.

All models in the series are fully active and powered by PMC’s master36 rack-mount DSP and amplification platform, delivering 800W each to the high- and mid-frequency drivers and 1000W to the bass driver. Meanwhile, system configuration and optimisation is handled via the updated SoundAlign2 browser-based interface, which allows users to manage EQ, delay, crossover settings and presets, with support for up to 32 loudspeakers within a single installation.

The series launches with four models – PMC10, PMC12, PMC15 and PMC10-4 – all fully active three-way designs. Each can be used as a standalone full-range monitor or expanded with matching XBD bass cabinets and standalone subs, allowing systems to scale from compact control rooms to full-blown multichannel and Dolby Atmos installations.
