At NAMM 2026, loudspeaker designer and manufacturer PMC unveiled its Main Monitor Series speakers, which the company claims reflect the evolving requirements of music, film, and broadcast production. They support the evolving spatial and object-based audio formats that influence the creation and delivery of current audio mixes.
PMC introduces its all-new Main Monitor models at NAMM 2026.
The Main Monitor Series includes four active three-way models: PMC10, PMC12, PMC15, and PMC10-4. Each model can operate as a standalone system or pair with matching XBD cabinets or standalone subs. Shared voicing and dispersion characteristics promise seamless integration across stereo, multichannel, and Dolby Atmos Music installations.
The monitors employ the company’s latest long-throw bass driver platform. The drivers feature vented motor assemblies, dual-spider suspensions, and triple-wound voice coils with a linear excursion up to 36-mm, reportedly more than triple the previous generation. The result is stable, natural low-frequency performance with the headroom required in high-channel-count immersive environments.
A new hand-built PMC75v3 soft-dome driver delivers midrange reproduction. Integrating a proprietary absorber to minimize rear-wave reflections and a dual-profile waveguide, it promises wide, smooth, and consistent dispersion as well as accurate imaging and localization across a broad listening area. And completing the three-way design is a hand-built, 34-mm soft-dome high-frequency driver that delivers extended, low-distortion high-frequency performance suitable for long-form mix sessions.
System control is via PMC’s updated SoundAlign2 environment in combination with its master36 DSP-powered amplifier controller. The master36 provides 32-bit DSP crossover processing, flexible I/O, and six channels of Class-D amplification power up to 3.6 kW. For larger or dual-cabinet configurations, the power20 adds a 2 kW Class-D amplifier.
