“I need that consistent, accurate sound that only PMC can offer me.” In the world of film-score recording and record mixing, Robert “Bobby” Fernandez is nothing short of a legend. Having worked at Warner Bros’ landmark Eastwood Scoring Stage in Burbank for 16 years, in 1995 he embarked upon a highly successful career as a first-call independent scoring and remix engineer. When the time came recently to add a third set of reference monitors at his Secret Studio facility, the choice for Fernandez was never in doubt: an LCR array of PMC TB2S-A MkII Active Reference Monitors. “I wouldn’t think of installing anything but PMC,” the veteran scoring/remix engineer states. “I already use IB1S Reference Monitors as my main monitors for remixing film scores and other projects, in addition to three MB2S Reference Monitors loaded into custom road cases that I take to my scoring sessions. I need that consistent, accurate sound that only PMC can offer me. The TB2S was an obvious choice.”

“The system is a major contribution to our new facility” - Paul Eachus, Director of Audio Services.As the oldest continuously operating conservatory of music in the United States, Ohio-based Oberlin College offers a number of undergraduate majors, including private study in 32 areas, in addition to concert halls, practice rooms and teaching studios. So when the time came to outfit the Joseph R. Clonick Recording Studio and control room with surround-sound loudspeakers, Oberlin looked to the best: PMC Reference Monitors.“We selected a pair of MB2S-XBD cabinets for left and right channels, plus an MB2S-C for the center,” explains the Oberlin’s Director of Audio Services, Paul Eachus. “We went for PMC because our MB2S system offers a very large sound stage in terms of both width as well as height – the image extends far beyond the system’s physical dimensions. Which means that our students can work throughout the room on tracking and mixing sessions and not lose that essential sweet spot. MB2S offers life-like reproduction, just as if the band was right there in the room with you. The PMC system is a major contribution to our new facility.” The studio is housed in the conservatory’s new Bertram and Judith Kohl Building.To read the entire article please go to: OBERLIN COLLEGE CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC INSTALLS STATE-OF-THE-ART PMC
PMC launched their new cutting-edge digitally active ATL™ reference loudspeakers, the IB2S-A and the twin-cabinet IB2S XBD-A, on May 23rd 2010, at the AES Exhibtion in Hammersmith, London. The stand-alone IB2S-A and its twin-cabinet version, the IB2S XBD-A, offer discerning users the attributes of PMC’s large ATL™ reference active monitors in a more compact form, creating the ideal monitors for high-end reference monitoring and mastering applications.
The three-way IB2S-A master cabinet may be purchased as a speaker in its own right, or together with the single-driver XBD bass cabinet to form the IB2S XBD-A system, following the pattern established by the popular BB5-XBD-A reference monitor. The XBD bass unit adds +3dB of low-frequency headroom, makes for a smoother room reponse and allows users to drive even larger acoustic environments. Where an independent .1 sub channel monitor is required, an additional XBD active unit is the ideal solution.
Both DSP-controlled, Class-D powered cabinets make use of PMC’s ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) bass-loading technology, providing a smoothly controlled, high-resolution low-frequency response. The bass units in both cabinets, which are identical, feature the 10-inch carbon-fibre/Nomex™ piston drivers from the renowned IB1S and IB2S speakers, while the IB2S-A cabinet features PMC’s hand-built 75mm fabric-dome driver to handle the mid range and the 34mm soft-dome tweeter from the BB5 XBD-A. 960W of independent, audiophile-quality power is available to each active master cabinet: 200W for the high-frequency and mid-range drivers, with 560W directed to the LF driver for extended, low-distortion precision monitoring all the way down to 20Hz.
