characteristically transparent midrange, fast,
attacking bass, and outstanding clarity.

A further advantage is greater bass extension
and loudness than a ported or sealed

design of a similar size, even if similar drivers

were used. Moreover, the very consistent
bass driver loading brings the welcome

benefit that the frequency response remains

consistent regardless of listening level, and
analytical auditioning can be conducted
without the need for high replay volumes to
achieve optimal bass response – a unique
and very valuable characteristic.

PMC’s unique

ATL

™

(Advanced

Transmission Line) enclosures have taken
loudspeaker design to the highest level,
using sophisticated cabinet construction,
proprietary drive units, and patented
absorption materials and techniques. The

benefits are enormous compared to the

relatively simple sealed and ported designs
currently available elsewhere.

PMC’s innovative approach places the bass
driver near one end of a long tunnel (the
Advanced Transmission Line). This tunnel
is heavily damped with acoustic material

specified carefully to absorb the upper bass

and higher frequencies radiating from the
rear of the bass driver. The lowest frequencies
are allowed to pass down the line and
emerge from the large vent in the same
polarity as the driver’s frontal radiation,
the vent acting essentially as a second bass
driver.

An important benefit of the

ATL

™

approach

is that the air pressure inside the cabinet,
loading the bass driver, is maintained.
This helps to control the driver over a wide

frequency range and significantly reduces

LF distortion. Consequently, the upper bass
and midrange detail is not masked by
harmonic distortion and the result is PMC’s

Advanced Transmission Line:

How it works

‘No other bass loading technology provides such resolution and tonal accuracy at all volume levels’
