PMC IB1 Nearfield Active Monitors: The Kind Of Monitor You Marry
December 02, 2008
If you, like me, like to shop for products based solely on their company name, there's really no other place to turn to if you're looking for reference monitors than the Professional Monitor Company, or PMC for short. Luckily for the fellows at PMC, their products are also top-notch. Also luckily for Carl Saff of Saff mastering, they fit both his room and his budget.
Carl talks with GW about why he invested in the IB1s, and why he's decided to take the plunge and make a lifelong commitment with them. Get a tissue -- this one gets a little emotional

there's a lot that can be
there's a lot that can be said about PMC monitors' precision and how they compare to others of similar and/or higher price tags. The good fun begins from ib2s upwards, however, when it comes to mid/farfield critical listening and in particular, mastering. One thing I would like to clarify is that IB1S and IB2S have their -3dB point at 25Hz. I've been working with MB2S and IB2S (own the latter) for years. Mr Staff is hearing a higher roll-off because of his room's modal response as well as the nearfield placement of the monitors. For small and medium (and less than club levels) these monitors don't need a sub unless you have a problematic room and need to redirect the bass to an optimally placed subwoofer.
