Sound provided by PMC

Audiophiles and sound enthusiasts, listen up! One extra reason to visit the talks and listening sessions in the Kleine Zaal and Van Warmerdamzaal is the sound experience.

It's all about the records, but the sound experience should not be forgotten! You can enjoy all the talks and listening sessions in the Kleine Zaal and Van Warmerdamzaal at  PHIL in the best possible way, thanks to our friends at PMC. For this special occasion, they are bringing the BB6 XBD-A and the MB2S.

The MB2S is perfect for mid-sized control rooms, either soffit-mounted or on its custom studio stands. The MB2S allows for higher SPLs without distortion and avoids the loss of definition normally associated with a device of its size. The BB6 XBD-A takes distortion to new lows and pushes the maximum SPL to a powerful 131 dB.

And the best part is: you get to test the system by bringing your favorite record. Keep an eye on the program for "Your Favorite Record Heard Like Never Before."

The program at Kleine Zaal and Van Warmerdamzaal is accessible for day- and weekend ticket holders, available here.

About PMC

The Music Makers

Founded in 1991 by Peter Thomas of the BBC and Adrian Loader of FWO Bauch. The combination of knowledge and a life-long passion for music led to the production of PMC's first product, the BB5-A, an active main studio monitor. This design was snapped up by the BBC Maida Vale and Metropolis Mastering and remains the world's reference, used by Prince, Stevie Wonder's Wonderland Studio, Hospital HDTV Broadcast London and for renowned classical labels such as Decca and Harmonia Mundi. Many of today's movie themes have been crafted using PMC, from such eminent composers as Henry Jackman, Thomas Newman, Tyler Bates and John Debney.

All PMC loudspeakers are designed and hand-built in the U.K. using individual components that are matched to their reference model; this includes the structural integrity of every cabinet and the testing and recording of each component.

This guarantees it will be within their strict tolerances and ensures your purchase sounds identical to the original design. Each completed loudspeaker then undergoes a set of objective and subjective measurements - frequency response sweeps ensure that the design meets PMC's exacting performance criteria, and then listening tests are conducted against the reference model using a wide variety of material, from a benchmark BBC speech test to classical music, pop and rock.

PMC reigns supreme throughout the leading mastering houses, broadcasters and much of the professional world. They believe a good loudspeaker should be able to relay the purest intentions of the artist without colouration - The ideal solution for both studio & home.
