PMC 8-2 – Active 3-way nearfield reference monitor with twin 8″ low-frequency drivers, 55 mm mid soft-dome, 27 mm tweeter, ATL™ bass-loading, DSP with SoundAlign™, and 4×400 W Class-D amplification.
The PMC 8-2 combines the precision of PMC’s Advanced Transmission Line cabinet and Laminair™ vents with DSP control for seamless integration into nearfield and immersive setups. Two 200 mm drivers deliver consistent bass down to 25 Hz, while the 55 mm mid soft-dome and 27 mm tweeter provide revealing mids and highs. Configuration—filters, delay, EQ, and level trim—is available on the rear panel or via the browser-based SoundAlign™ interface. Upgradeable to an XBD system with an optional 8-2 SUB, it maintains clarity, dynamics, and no listening fatigue even during long sessions.
