Unmatched Low-Frequency Power
Massive 15-inch drivers deliver deep, distortion-free bass, ensuring your mixes have the low-end authority needed for professional studio environments.
KEY FEATURES
The PMC 15 XBD is a high‑end, three‑way, four‑driver, dual‑cabinet ATL™ active reference monitor that combines the legendary BB5/6 XBD lineage with cutting‑edge DSP‑driven precision, ultra‑low distortion, massive low‑frequency authority and a transparent soundstage for elite large‑format studios.
Classic Heritage Meets Modern Innovation
The PMC 15 XBD builds on more than three decades of studio‑monitor excellence established by the BB5/6 XBD series. It retains the iconic 34 mm soft‑dome tweeter and the advanced PMC75v3 midrange dome, both featuring the proprietary n‑compass™ dual‑profile waveguide for smooth, wide dispersion and a focused soundstage across an expansive listening area. The new 15‑inch bass drivers, the largest ever designed by PMC, incorporate double‑stacked magnet assemblies and three‑layer, 3‑inch voice coils, delivering unprecedented power handling, phase‑linear bandwidth and LF headroom.
Power and Amplification Architecture
Each cabinet houses a bespoke Master36 rack‑mount DSP/amplifier delivering 800 W to the tweeter, 800 W to the midrange and a formidable 2 000 W to the bass driver. An additional Power20 amplifier supplies a further 2 000 W to the 15‑inch LF driver, resulting in a total cabinet power rating of 5 600 W (HF 800 W, MF 800 W, LF 2 × 2 000 W). Precision digital crossovers, transparent excursion protection and comprehensive room‑EQ are configured via a standard LAN using PMC’s SoundAlign2 browser‑based interface.
