Loudspeaker manufacturer PMC has opened a new factory in Bedfordshire, UK, to meet demand for its CI series.
Since being introduced in September 2019, CI loudspeakers have proved popular with the installation market where they offer the same proprietary technology as the company’s audiophile speakers and studio monitors. The slimline speakers are designed with a shallow depth for on-wall and in-wall installation, a feature that also suits then to use in professional studios that are embracing Dolby Atmos immersive audio for music and film mixing and want discreet monitors for wall and ceiling channels.
‘In addition to the flourishing custom installation market, CI monitors also form an integral part of our loudspeaker systems for Dolby Atmos and we anticipate a sharp uptake in demand as more and more professional studios embrace this format for music mixing,’ confirms PMC owner, Peter Thomas. ‘Thanks to its the almost limitless headroom, power capabilities, pin-point accuracy and sonic fidelity, PMC’s system goes well beyond Dolby’s own minimum requirements, making it the template for many internationally acclaimed studios such as Universal’s Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and the legendary Dean Street Studios in London.’
Based on an industrial estate in Sandy close to PMC’s head office in Biggleswade, the new factory covers 6,000sq-ft and includes additional space for warehousing. Alongside the latest manufacturing equipment, PMC has invested in facilities for stringent acoustic testing and critical listening, carried out on every monitor before despatch.
In addition to the new manufacturing facilities, PMC is also increasing its staff resources to support the expansion.
