The AML 1 is the first compact active monitor from the PMC stable.
It
is like no other active monitor available, as every element in the build
of the AML 1 is of the highest audiophile grade, from the custom drive
units down to the OS-Con capacitors utilised in the key areas of the crossovers
and power amplifiers. The AML 1 belies its size and boasts sub-35Hz performance
from a modern sculpted compact cabinet.
This
monitor has all the virtues of PMC tried and tested transmission line
designs, including extremely low distortion with higher SPLs and deeper
low frequencies than a traditional ported design of a similar size.
Advantages
of the AML 1 over other products are:
-
Accurate and extended low frequency performance
- Lower colouration
- Neutral yet dynamic performance
- Consistent balance at all levels
- Higher SPLs without distortion or compression
- Rakish good looks
The AML 1 employs a flat piston bass driver constructed from a carbon
fibre and Nomex honeycomb which allows large, controlled linear excursions.
A high power handling soft dome unit is used for the high frequencies;
the two drivers are integrated by discrete, low noise active crossovers.
The amplifier and crossover designs are licensed from the high end manufacturer
Bryston. They deliver effortless, clean power whilst preserving neutrality
of balance and image integrity. Bypassable user controls provide for input
level adjustment, LF Roll off, LF tilt and HF tilt.
