History
Founded in 1990 by Peter Thomas of the BBC and Adrain Loader of FWO Bauch.  The combination of knowledge and a life-long passion for the music led the production of PMC’s first product-the BB5-A-an active main studio monitor.  The design was snapped up by the BBC Maida Vale and Metropolis Mastering and remains the world’s reference, used by Stevie Wonders Wonderland Studio, Hospital HDTV Broadcast London and for renowned classical labels such as Decca and Harmonia Mundi.  Many of today’s movie themes have been crafted using PMC, from such eminent composers as Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

PMC are one of the very companies who have been awarded an Emmy for their contribution to recording excellence.  With film, it would be easier to list the blockbuster movies which did not use PMC during the process of production and post!  But titles include: Hulk, Signs, Die Another Day, Spiderman 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean.  PMC reigns supreme throughout the leading mastering houses, broadcasters and much of the professional world.  The believe a good loudspeaker should be able to relay the purest intentions of the artist without colouration.

Philosophy
PMC’s design philosophy is quite a simple one, to design the ideal monitoring solution with the highest resolution possible without colouration and distortion.  This supreme level of resolution is derived through unequalled R&D into (ATL) Advanced transmission Line Loudspeaker design and drive unit technology.  Also PMC’s close association with principle engineers has allowed development of innovative solution for the latest recording techniques and changing monitoring environments.  The design team have a clear vision of what must be achieved therefore all of the PMC range is voiced identically, from the DB1S+ through to the BB5 XBD-A.  The balance is neutral and dynamic with wide dispersion, making image placement pin point over a huge listening window.  The PMC user is one which is pioneering in the field and will not settle for less than the best.
