help PMC twenty5.22 FAQ

What is PMC Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology in the twenty5.22?

PMC's ATL technology uses internal labyrinthine cabinets lined with absorbent materials to channel the bass energy from the rear of the driver out through a front-firing vent. This highly engineered design allows the relatively compact twenty5.22 speakers to produce deep, controlled bass that mimics much larger enclosures.

Are PMC twenty5.22 speakers active or passive monitors?

The PMC twenty5.22 speakers are completely passive two-way monitors, meaning they require an external stereo amplifier to function. This allows studio engineers and audiophiles to pair them with high-end amplification of their choosing, such as units from Naim or Bryston.

What type of tweeter does the PMC twenty5.22 use?

The twenty5.22 features PMC's bespoke 19mm soft dome tweeter, which is paired with a 5.5-inch bass/midrange driver. This specific driver combination, housed within the ATL cabinet, yields highly detailed high frequencies and an exceptionally natural midrange for critical listening.

Where should the PMC twenty5.22 speakers be positioned for the best sound?

Because of their front-firing ATL vents, the twenty5.22 speakers offer more placement flexibility than traditional rear-ported monitors, allowing them to be placed closer to room boundaries. However, they still benefit from sturdy speaker stands and being angled toward the primary listening position to create a precise stereo image.
