PMC / PMC8-2

＜＜Sep 2025 New Product！＞＞ The PMC8-2 is a near/mid-field monitor that is suitable for any environment.

Like other PMC speakers, the PMC 8-2 boasts consistent dispersion and tonal balance, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated with smaller PMC speakers to create larger multi-channel or immersive systems.

The twin bass drivers complement the four-channel 400W Class-D amplifier and PMC55 midrange-tweeter used in the PMC6-2.

ATL™ bass loading technology and PMC's Laminair™ airflow technology, using hexagonal vents, deliver smooth low frequencies down to 25 Hz, natural midrange, and a wide, clear sound field, making it suitable for use as a main reference monitor. Its incredible resolution helps you create the perfect mix.

Calibration
Calibration can be performed using the rear panel controls or SoundAlign™ software, accessible via a browser.

Upgrade to the XBD system for extended low frequencies. Adding a PMC 8.2 SUB allows you to upgrade to the XBD system, expanding the low-frequency headroom by 6dB. Stands suitable for both the PMC 8-2 and XBD systems are also available as options.
