PMC’s Versatile PMC10 SUB
Today’s music mixes and motion picture scores place tremendous demands on a monitoring system in terms of dynamic range and low-frequency extension, and subwoofers are the key to handling such program material with unerring accuracy, composure, and finesse. Designed to supplement any PMC monitoring system, the PMC10 SUB is available in vertical and horizontal variants to suit your specific system configuration. Like all PMC subwoofers, the PMC10 SUB features the latest-generation Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) cabinet with LaminairX airflow venting. The cabinet, in fact, is the same as that of the PMC10 full-range monitor, without the midrange/tweeter assembly. Powered and managed by PMC’s master36 DSP power amplifier, the PMC10 SUB delivers controlled low-frequency extension with scalable headroom for critical professional monitoring applications.

An optimized, high-performance system
The PMC10 SUB is managed and powered by the master36 DSP amplifier, which supplies 1,000 watts to the driver, thus ensuring the expansive headroom and precision necessary for low-frequency reproduction that is large in scale, yet nimble and tightly controlled. The master36 DSP employs ultra-transparent Class D amplification, while its integrated DSP provides transparent excursion limiting for system protection, along with precise room-optimization EQ and digitally optimized lowpass and highpass filters tailored expressly for the PMC10 SUB. The master36 accepts both analog and digital inputs and can be controlled over a standard LAN via the browser-based SoundAlign2 interface.
ATL technology delivers cleaner, deeper bass
Since its first professional studio main monitor design was embraced by the music, broadcast, and post-production industries in the early 1990s, PMC has become famous for its proprietary Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology. A transmission line is a method of loading a low-frequency speaker in a cabinet so that undesirable frequencies radiating from the rear of the driver are absorbed, allowing only the lowest frequencies to pass. These emerge from a front-baffle vent, which effectively acts as an auxiliary LF driver, extending bass response while absorbing undesirable low frequencies that contribute to harmonic distortion and cloud the upper bass and midrange. One of the keys to PMC speakers’ natural, highly detailed sound, ATL technology delivers deeper bass and higher output from smaller cabinets while providing rich, full sound at any listening level. And because ATL bass extension doesn’t vary with volume levels, the low end is well defined and always in balance, even when listening quietly.
LaminairX venting for superior bass timing and dynamic range
PMC’s ATL moves under-pressure air at high speeds, so reducing drag and turbulence is important for lowering resistance, increasing efficiency, and eliminating air noise. PMC’s LaminairX vent accomplishes this by using aerodynamic principles borrowed from high-performance engineering for F1 and Le Mans race cars, creating a smooth laminar airflow at the transmission line outlet. The combination of ATL and LaminairX technology results in superior bass timing and an ultra-wide dynamic range, helping PMC loudspeakers deliver a supremely natural sound and perform with complete composure at any volume.
PMC: for mixes that translate
Engineers at Sweetwater know that there’s no substitute for midrange clarity in a monitor. This is the heart of your mix, and it remains relevant regardless of the playback system. That’s why you can spend hours struggling to achieve a perfect balance and end up with nothing but frustration, listening fatigue, and a mix that doesn’t “translate.” In addition to improving bass response, PMC’s ATL technology also mitigates troublesome frequencies and eliminates port noise that can mask the midrange in other types of monitor speaker designs. As a result, you’ll find it’s easier to place, for instance, vocals and solo instruments in a mix, allowing you to achieve an ideal balance that translates to the world outside your studio and holds up well on real-world playback systems. The bottom line is that your monitors are the key to great-sounding recordings. Step up to world-class monitoring with PMC.
