PMC will be partnering with Dolby and Universal Music to present a Dolby Atmos demonstration at the world’s leading professional music show, NAMM 2019 during late January. Artists, producers and recording engineers will have an opportunity to experience Dolby Atmos music through PMC’s monitoring system. British visitors will have a chance to hear the Dolby Atmos system at The Bristol Show.

In conjunction with Dolby, PMC will play music from albums that have been mixed and re-mixed at Universal Music’s PMC equipped Capitol Studios (pictured), in the new Dolby Atmos for Music format. PMC’s active three-way MB3-XBD-A monitors will form the left, right and centre channels of the 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos system, with the rest of the system comprising four PMC twotwo sub2 subwoofers and a total of 16 Wafer 1 compact slimline monitors for the surround, rear and height channels.

“We are really thrilled to be partnering again with Dolby and Universal Music on this project, which is designed to showcase the benefits of mixing in Dolby Atmos to the music recording fraternity,” says Maurice Patist, President of PMC USA. “The music we will be demoing has been mixed or re-mixed in Capitol Studios, which features a complete PMC monitoring system incorporating IB2S-XBD-A, IB2S-A-C, twotwosub2 and Wafer 1 monitors. We have also built a Dolby Atmos room for Universal Music in Nashville and we’ll be collaborating on a second room at Capitol Studios later this year.”

“We have loudspeakers that are suited to every application – from recording and mixing to mastering, post production, broadcast and home listening,” Maurice Patist adds. “All PMC pro reference monitors are renowned for their high resolution, detail and accuracy and we are very proud to feature in the studios and post production facilities of so many top artists, producers, film composers and mix engineers.”

PMC is also bringing the authentic Atmos experience to the Bristol Show visitors in February. The What Hi-Fi? reference surround speaker system, comprising twenty5.23s for the front and surround left and right channels and twenty5.C centre channel, will be expanded to include additional twenty5.23s for the rear surrounds and four of PMC’s custom installation wafer series for the height channels. Subwoofer duties in this full-scale Atmos system will be handled by two twenty5.subs. Much of the material for the Atmos presentations, running until 3pm daily at The Bristol Hifi Show, will come from Universal Music’s catalogue of new and remixed Atmos Music titles plus some well-known movies, which were originally scored, mixed or recorded using PMC professional monitor speakers. After 3pm each day, PMC will switch to two-channel demonstrations using the twenty5 series and the company’s cor integrated amplifier.
