Tip

Advanced Transmission Line

The world’s leading professionals rely on the

accuracy of PMC’s designs everyday to

create much of the music and sound you

hear. You can rest assured that what you hear

from a PMC speaker is identical to the version

approved by the artist themselves.

What they offer above a standard HiFi speaker

Technically speaking

PMC’s

Line) enclosures have taken loudspeaker

design to the highest level.

A PMC transmission line design utilises

sophisticated cabinet construction,

propriety drive units and patented

absorption materials and techniques.

The benets are enormous compared to

the relatively simple sealed and ported

models currently available elsewhere.

The bass driver is placed at one end

of a long tunnel (the transmission line),

which is heavily damped with absorbent

acoustic material. This material is

specied to absorb the upper bass and

higher frequencies that radiate from the

rear of the bass driver.

The lowest frequencies, which remain

in phase, then emerge from the large

vent at the end of the line, which

essentially acts as an additional driver.

One advantage to this approach is that

the air pressure loading the main driver

is maintained, thus controlling the driver

over a wide frequency range, which in

turn signicantly reduces distortion. A

spin-off from the lack of distortion is that

™

(Advanced Transmission

ATL

the upper bass and midrange detail

is not masked by harmonic distortion

residing in the very low frequencies.

The result is PMC’s characteristic

transparent midrange and fast,

attacking bass notes, all reproduced

with outstanding clarity.

A further advantage of the transmission

line approach is a cabinet that

produces a higher volume and

greater bass extension than a ported

or sealed design of a similar size,

even if identical drivers were used.

Moreover, as the loading on the main

driver is maintained at all volumes,

the frequency response also remains

consistent regardless of listening level.

Casual late night listening or analytical

studio sessions can be conducted

without the need for high volumes to

achieve maximum bass response. A

characteristic that is especially suited

to both the home enthusiast and

recording professional alike.

‘No other technology provides such a huge, rich room lling sound’

Our meticulous care & attention

All PMC loudspeakers are hand-built in the U.K. using individual

components that are matched to our reference model; this includes

the structural integrity of every cabinet and the testing and recording of

each component. This guarantees it will be within our strict tolerances

and ensures your purchase sounds identical to the original design.

Each completed loudspeaker then undergoes a set of objective and

subjective measurements - frequency response sweeps ensure that the

design meets our exacting performance criteria, and then listening tests

are conducted against the reference model using a wide variety of

material, from a benchmark BBC speech test to classical music,

pop and rock.

Tip

Unpacking

Please retain your packaging for future use as all PMC cartons

are durable, reusable and can be employed to safely transport

your loudspeakers should they be relocated or returned

for servicing.

Much of the packing is constructed from recyclable materials,

so if you are to dispose of it please do so in an environmentally

friendly manner.

Packing materials can pose danger to

animals, the young and vulnerable.

Ensure these items are kept or

disposed of safely.

Spike installation guide

Tip

(for fact.3 stands, see individual installation guide)

Spikes are used to enhance performance and allow the loudspeaker to be

levelled perfectly.

either carpeted or more sensitive hard ooring.

Note: If you require additional protection when using the ball ended tips on

hard ooring then use the handy protection caps included.

Carefully invert the loudspeaker so that its base is uppermost. Take

care not to damage the top of the loudspeaker when it is upside-

down, the use of a soft cloth or square of carpet is suggested.

Thread each spike with one of the supplied knurled collars/nuts.

Select the type of tip you wish to use. Generally spikes are used for

carpeted oors and ball ends for hard oors

The spikes can then be inserted into the threaded hole.

Caution: Spikes are sharp and should be treated with great

care and may damage hard ooring if in direct contact.

fact spikes are reversible, with spike or ball tips for use on

Re-invert the loudspeaker

Once in position, level the loudspeaker by adjusting each

spike in turn using the spirit level on the top of the cabinet to

conrm. While this might seem a time-consuming exercise,

it is important both in terms of system performance and the

stability of the loudspeaker.

The nal step is to tighten each knurled collar/nut; this will ensure that

the spike and loudspeaker are as rigid as possible.

Connections

Tip

Caution

To avoid potential damage, please ensure that your power amplier(s) or

receiver is turned off before connecting or disconnecting your loudspeakers.

Cable & connectors

When selecting cables for use with your fact loudspeakers, ensure that

their construction is of a high enough standard to withstand the rigors of

everyday use and that they are suitably terminated. While bare wire can be accommodated by the fact Ag binding posts, we recommend the use of either

spade lugs or 4mm ‘banana’ plugs in order to maintain an electrical connection

of the highest integrity and avoid the possibility of short circuits. Please consult

your dealer for more information regarding cable lengths and termination

options.

Polarity + & -

It is of vital importance to observe the polarity markings and maintain

positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative connections from amplier or receiver to the loudspeaker. The fact Ag terminals are colour-coded to aid

in their identication, positive terminals are red, negative terminals are black.

Plugging them in

Connecting to an amplier

Tip

Standard / Single wiring connection

This is the most common using a single cable with two conductors. Connect using any of the two pairs of RED+/BLACK- terminals. Ensuring the fact Ag

silver linking bars are secure and the binding posts are nger tight.

Advanced connection / Bi-wiring & Bi-amping

fact models with four binding posts can be bi-wired or bi-amped.

By loosening all four rear binding posts, the silver bridging plates can be

removed thus enabling separate signals to be fed to the low (Woofer)

and high frequency (Tweeter) drivers. Ensure the binding posts are re-

tightened after the bridging bars are removed. Both bi-wiring and bi-amping

require the use of two lengths of cable per speaker. Bi-amping requires

two separate ampliers; one for each driver. Please consult your dealer

regarding the benets and the correct procedure.

Advanced connection

The fact.12 can also be bi-wired, bi-amped, tri-wired or tri-amplied. By

loosening all six rear binding posts, the linking bars can be removed so

separate signals can be fed to the LF (Woofer), MF (50mm Dome) and HF

(Tweeter) drivers. Ensure the binding posts are re-tightened after the linking

bars are removed.

Both bi-wiring and bi-amping use two lengths of cable per speaker, tri-wiring

and tri-amping use three lengths per speaker. Bi-amping also uses two

separate ampliers; tri-amping uses three, one for each driver.

Running in or breaking in

Tip

When loudspeakers are new they will take time to reach their full potential.

It is often debated whether any solid-state equipment, such as CD players or

transistor-based power ampliers change with use, but the characteristics of

mechanical devices such as loudspeakers do alter and improve their perfor-

mance signicantly after a short ‘running in’ period.

The science is simple; as the soft material surrounding the dome or woofer

cone is exed it will eventually reach a point where it has optimum compli-

ancy allowing the drive unit to move more freely. This translates to greater

accuracy and speed of attack in the bass region and the mid and high fre-

quency produces a far more vivid audio picture. This short ‘running in’ period

takes approximately 50 hours of normal use.

Tip

Positioning

With their unique ATL

low distortion and smooth bass roll-off, PMC loudspeakers are more forgiving of

difcult room conditions and placement constraints than conventional designs -

you will be able to achieve a superb sound throughout the room with little effort.

We do encourage you to spend some time experimenting in your own room

in order to achieve the very best results. Remembering that small changes in

location can often inuence system performance.

Room shape, size, construction and interior decoration vary immensely and

therefore inuence sound in different ways. The following guidelines are

suggestions for the starting point to locate your new speakers. Fine-tuning of

their positioning can start from here.

™

Advanced Transmission Line design, wide dispersion, ultra

Tip

Positioning (Cont.)

• Place the speaker so the front face is slightly forward of any large object

that protrudes into the room - this could be a replace, bookcase

or television for example.

See stereo set up diagram

Tip

• Ensure that stereo pairs of loudspeakers are equidistant from the listening

position.

• It is best to position the front left/right pair (and centre channel loudspeaker

if you have a surround system) at the same height, usually at ear-level when

seated at the listening position.

Tip

If any of the speakers are mounted above or below ear level, then angle the

speaker towards the listening position.

• The distance between your left/right speakers and the listening position

should ideally create an equilateral triangle. As a general rule, the width

of the audio picture will be narrow if the speakers are too close together. If

they are too far apart the picture will be wide but there will be less central

denition

Tip

Use a well recorded vocal track to judge the ideal spot.

• To further enhance the audio picture or soundstage the speakers can

be angled/toed-in’. Start with the speakers angled so they will cross

approximately 50cm (2ft) behind the listening position. (See stereo set-up

diagram) Varying this angle will also subtly affect the vividness of the audio

picture, so again experiment.

Tip

A simple well recorded band with vivid vocals will help to achieve the best

position

Note

7.1 Systems

In a system capable of full 7.1 Dolby

Blu-ray™ or HD DVD™ playback there will be two sets of surround speakers.

The rst pair should be positioned at 100º and the second set at 150º. (The

centre is considered 0º while directly to the rear of the room is 180º). See

Fine tuning for perfect sound

Ensure both HF & LF adjustment switches are in the zero position on the rear

Tip

panel of both loudspeakers (See fact back panel diag.)

If your amplier has tone controls set them in the at/zero position, or if your

Tip

amplier features a defeat/direct button use this function. This will ensure there

is no addition or reduction in bass or treble before the loudspeaker which would

make the ne tuning process confusing.

How your room can effect bass

Solid boundaries (i.e. walls, ceilings and oors) reect sound and help to contain

it within a room. They make a speaker sound louder the closer they are to them,

especially in the low frequency (bass) region.

This diagram shows the areas, that if a speaker is positioned, will either increase

or decrease bass - The darker the shading the more bass will be heard.

Placing the speakers in the corners will generate the most bass, and in the

centre of the room, the least bass.

Tip

Fine tuning for perfect sound

Tip

Position your speakers so the bass is as clear and dened as possible using

various styles of well recorded music - remembering that more bass isn’t nec-

essarily better.

You now have the option to ne tune the bass response using the LF (Low

Frequency response) switch. If you require a reduction then use one of the

negative positions. N.B. The fact.12 features a unique bass lift (LF+) option. If

you require a subtle increase in bass to provide a deeper, richer sound move

it to the + position.

Again, repeat the process by checking how the bass sounds using various

styles of music and adjust accordingly.

Treble / HF (High Frequency adjustment)

The HF adjustment switching on the fact models will compensate for the

following:

In the + position

This will subtly increase the HF/High frequency output to compensate for

softer sounding source equipment or dull absorbent rooms i.e. rooms with an

abundance of soft furnishings, carpets etc

In the – position

This will subtly decrease the HF/High frequency output to compensate

for bright sounding source equipment or lively highly reective rooms i.e.

minimally furnished rooms with hard ooring and very little soft absorbent

materials.

Good quality speech or a well recorded vocal should sound dened and

completely natural and free from sibilance when the HF switch is in the

correct position.

You will often nd good quality speech on an FM broadcast by a national
