PMC To Display Full Dolby Atmos® Monitoring System At AES

PMC is to present a landmark display at this year's AES Convention in New York, featuring a full Dolby Atmos® certified monitoring system.

The UK loudspeaker manufacturer is now working closely with Dolby as a strategic partner for its Atmos® immersive audio solution that is rapidly being adopted by the audio and music mixing community. PMC monitors form the mainstay of many Dolby Atmos certified facilities including Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, MSM Studios in Munich and Kraftwerk's Kling Klang Studio in Dusseldorf where a PMC -based 9.1 Dolby Atmos monitoring system was installed to compile an audio/video documentary collection entitled 3-D The Catalogue.

At AES, the company will equip demo suite 1E06 with a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 setup consisting of an IB2S-XBD-A LCR system, complemented with six result6 surround channels, a special preview of the new BB7 Active Subwoofer and result6 overhead monitors. This will be used for presentations and for PMC's hugely popular Masters of Audio seminar programme featuring high-profile audio industry movers and shakers who will speak about music and audio production.

Maurice Patist, President PMC USA, said: "The accuracy and transparency of PMC speakers, combined with their ability to reproduce big bass brilliantly, makes them ideally suited to immersive audio mixing. Already hugely popular in film and TV, the Atmos immersive format is gathering momentum in the music production market and we are delighted that our strategic partnership with Dolby and Universal Music Group's Capitol Studios is helping to facilitate this. With PMC monitoring you can totally trust what you are hearing because their resolution and image placement reveals every nuance."

PMC will also have a booth in the AES exhibition where it will meet and greet visitors, showcasing its smaller monitors such as the ever popular twotwo series and the result6 compact nearfield reference monitor – a two-way active loudspeaker that combines high resolution and detail, accurate and extended bass, consistent tonal balance on all levels and wide dispersion and sweet spot, all distilled into an affordable product that has been critically acclaimed around the world.

AES New York takes place at the Javits Convention Centre from 16-18 October.

Attendees can visit PMC on Booth 950 and Demo Suite 1E06.
