The source of PMC’s legendary natural realistic sound is theAdvanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading which uses the energy generated by the bass driver(s) in the most intelligent and efficient way.

The highly braced cabinet is lined with proprietary acousticmaterials to absorb all but the very lowest frequencies. Theseexit from a front vent extending the low frequencies to createthe response of a far larger and more powerful speaker.

It’s not just about bass however: because the low end is soclean and clear it doesn’t mask the rest of the music meaningvocals are beautifully projected and ultra-vivid.

There are other benefits too: the bass extension doesn’tchange with volume level – so even when listening quietlylow frequencies sound rich and well-defined. Moreover ATLspeakers are less dependent on room effects to enhance thebass making it simple to position them where you want them.

Over a decade since PMC’s engineers introduced F1 aerodynamic principles to the audio realm with Laminair, the advent of the prophecy series sees the latest iteration, the new LaminairX, working in tandem with ATL.

Rarely does anything enter the audio realm with such a profound effect on sound quality and the sheer enjoyment of music: LaminairX unlocks the full potential of PMC’s ATL technology. The improvements both revolutionary technically and above all obvious to the listener.

ATL™ designs involve air moving at high speeds with complex fluid dynamics, and introducing the precision machined ultimate aerodynamic control of LaminairX negates turbulence and drag, which in turn reduces resistance, reduces harmonic distortion by up to 3dB, eliminates air noise and provides bass with superlative timing and an unparalleled dynamic range.

In addition, the weight of the all-metal new LaminairX device, isolated from the main enclosure via a layer of sustainable pure cork, both stabilises and ‘anchors’ the speaker for even better control.
