USER GUIDE

WE ARE DRIVEN

We believe that music is what really matters. It’s what moves
us and gives us our passion for what we do — bringing
emotion and engineering together. In our designs, science
serves sound in our quest to present music as naturally as
possible, exactly as its creators intended.

For over 25 years, the Emmy-winning design philosophy
behind PMC’s loudspeakers has been to eradicate
everything that isn’t music, including unnatural resonance,
distortion and noise — an approach requiring years of
obsessive attention to detail at all stages of product design.
Our success is plain; PMC loudspeakers are used by the

world’s leading composers and in the nest studios and

audiophile listening environments. Our involvement at all
stages of musical creation means that we know what it is to
capture all the emotion in a performance.

We’ve now used this knowledge to bring you the cor

integrated amplier — for analogue purists.

INTRODUCING THE COR INTEGRATED

Congratulations on your purchase of this pure analogue
Class A/B PMC creation, entirely designed and built in the
UK. The cor integrated stereo amplier has the power to
drive virtually any passive loudspeaker to impressive output

levels — 95W into 8Ω, or 140W into 4Ω — but with renement,

transparency and neutrality. Every single component used
in the cor is selected by ear, ensuring a supreme-quality

analogue product, from the headphone amplier to the

remotely controllable tone and balance controls.

Setting up

Place the amplier on a hard, level, stable surface, avoiding

moisture and sources of heat, including direct sunlight and
other electronics.

obstruct airow and cooling. If you are in doubt, leave at

least 75mm of clear space around the top and sides to

ensure airow is not impeded.

Avoid placing a record player on top of this amplier.

Cartridges and record players can be adversely affected
by close proximity to high power devices like the cor
integrated.

Make sure the remote-control receiver has a clear line of
sight from the listening position.
