ENGINEERING WITH PASSION
PMC loudspeakers combine science and art, engineering and emotion;
they are designed to be forensically accurate but also to convey
music and sound as naturally as possible, as its creators intended.
We believe that the same monitor can be used throughout the entire audio
chain, from composer to studio or lm stage, post-production or mastering to
the consumer — and that well-designed loudspeakers should excel with any
material, reproducing audio of any kind or genre with the same accuracy
and precision.
We make products that do all of this by applying solid engineering principles
and painstaking design, construction and testing standards. Our studio
loudspeakers are true reference monitors, allowing audio professionals
simultaneous insight into the big picture and the ner details of their work,
with the maximum possible resolution and sonic clarity.
It’s not easy getting PMC designs right, but it’s our passion, and the results
— and our many discerning professional users worldwide — speak for
themselves.

BETTER RESULTS, FASTER — SIMPLE
We understand that as an audio professional, you need reference monitors
that tell you the absolute truth. When you trust what you can hear, you can
work more quickly and with greater condence, creating nished material
that will translate on any sound system, no matter how sophisticated — or
simple.
The result6 provides an introduction to PMC and the huge benets of
ATL™ technology, the proprietary bass-loading system at the heart of all
our designs. This active two-way reference monitor offers all the attributes
for which PMC is world-renowned: high resolution and detail, accurate,
extended bass, consistent tonal balance at all levels, and wide dispersion
and sweet spot. With an emphasis on elegant simplicity, this is a compact
neareld that allows you to work faster and more condently — in short, to
see, hear and achieve results more quickly.
There are no overly complex DSP-based user options or room proles;
instead, the result6 achieves its characteristically neutral, dependable PMC
reference sound solely on the strength of its engineering. Honed to the
fundamentals of our design philosophy, it’s devoted to getting you the best-
sounding results in the shortest possible time.

THE SAME RESULT IN SMALLER SPACES
The result6 is equally at home in smaller studios as it is in internationally
renowned recording facilities, one of the benets of its completely consistent
output being that you can trust what you hear in a project studio, a mix
room or a high-end mastering suite. The decisions you make regarding tone,
imaging and frequency response will be equally valid in any environment
— and the results will translate accurately to any playback system, large or
small.
Where space is at a premium, optional tilt/swivel brackets are available,
allowing you to wall-mount the monitors and preserve movement in both
planes.

A BIGGER, MORE DETAILED PICTURE
In traditional compact neareld loudspeaker cabinets with rectangular front
bafes, HF dispersion can be narrow, reducing the ‘sweet spot’ and making
for a large difference between the on- and off-axis response. In addition, the
edges of the cabinet generate high-frequency reections, resulting in comb
ltering and an uneven HF response.
We engineered the distinctive, nned HF driver surround — known on the
result6 as the D-Fins — to resolve both of these issues, delivering major
sonic benets. The design widens the stereo sweet spot (which is already
generous, in keeping with other PMC designs). The result is an excellent off-
axis response over a wider area. The D-Fins also eradicate the cabinet edge
effects, ensuring high-frequency sound remains razor-sharp and unsmeared.
This means that you have greater freedom to change your position as you
work without adversely affecting what you hear, and that the frequency
response of the speakers is at and natural-sounding.
D-FIN BENEFITS: BLOCKING EDGE EFFECTS
Amplitude
Amplitude
In standard compact monitors, the HF output of the treble driver radiates
across the front bafe until it reaches the change of air pressure at the edge
(see Fig. A below). At high frequencies, the sound waves are reected
from this boundary and return to the driver, creating a cancellation in the
speaker’s HF response (Fig. B). In the result6, sound at high frequencies is
still reected from the edge of the cabinet (Fig. C), but the D-Fins diffuse
the reected HF before it returns to the driver, and the overall HF response
remains perfectly at (Fig. D).

D-FIN BENEFITS: SUPERIOR HF DISPERSION
On an ordinary neareld monitor, the HF output can be fairly directional (see
Fig. E), resulting in a restricted optimum working position. Adding the D-Fins
to the result6 produces additional, highly controlled HF diffraction, which
sums with the tweeter’s direct output to produce a far wider, smoother HF
wavefront (Fig. F). The difference between the on and off-axis response is
thereby much reduced, even at high frequencies (See Fig. G).

TECHNICALLY, SONICALLY SUPERIOR BASS & MORE
PMC’s unique ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) enclosures have taken
sonic performance to the highest level, using sophisticated cabinet
construction, proprietary drive units, and patented absorption materials
and techniques. The benets are enormous compared to sealed-box and
ported designs.
PMC’s innovative approach places the bass driver near one end of a long
tunnel (the Advanced Transmission Line), which is heavily damped with
acoustic material carefully specied to absorb the upper bass and higher
frequencies radiating from the rear of the bass driver. The lowest frequencies
are allowed to pass down the line and emerge from the front vent in the
same polarity as the bass unit’s output, so that the vent acts like a second LF
driver.
™
An important benet of the ATL
the cabinet, which loads the bass driver, remains consistent. This helps to
maintain control of the driver over a wide frequency range and signicantly
reduces LF distortion. Consequently, the upper bass and mid-range detail is
not masked by harmonic distortion and the result is PMC’s characteristically
transparent mid-range, fast, attacking bass, and outstanding clarity. When
compared to ported or sealed designs of the same size, even ones with
similar drivers, ATL™ speakers offer extended bass performance, and a
higher maximum SPL.
approach is that the air pressure inside
The very consistent bass driver loading also means that the frequency
response stays the same whatever the output level. With PMC’s ATL
speakers, critical listening can be conducted at very low volumes if required,
preserving everybody’s hearing when they need it most.
™
ATL™ bass-loading technology offers the following
advantages over ported and sealed monitors:
• Exceptional LF extension with no colouration
• Identical tonal balance at all levels
• Higher SPLs without compression or listener fatigue
• More efcient
• A truly accurate response that translates
LASER MEASUREMENT — GENUINELY CUTTING-EDGE
The result6 is the rst PMC product to benet from our groundbreaking laser-
based measurement system. This performs extremely accurate assessments
of the drivers’ performance by rapidly and repeatedly scanning the surface
of the drive unit during operation, measuring every micro-movement with
phenomenal accuracy.
In our two-stage driver renement process, the design of the bass unit is rst
optimised following a series of laser measurements conducted in free space.
At the second stage, the driver is tted into the loudspeaker cabinet and
ATL™. The laser measurement system is then used again, this time on the
complete loudspeaker, and the drivers, cabinet and ATL™ are honed in situ,
the process being repeated until their optimum performance is attained. In
particular, the ATL™ and bass driver are tuned so that the driver produces
the maximum possible output for the minimum possible excursion, which
eradicates distortion and colouration.
At the end of the process, the ATL™ is perfectly integrated with the LF
driver, creating a speaker that packs a punch far greater than its compact
dimensions would suggest. The nished design produces the sound for which
PMC is renowned: crystal-clear highs, mid-range transparency, and smooth,
extended bass that is consistent at all output levels with minimal harmonic
distortion.
SIMPLY BRILLIANT
Like all the best tools, the result6 is a perfect
marriage of form and function.
Anchor points
PMC’s custom-made ‘tilt-and-swivel’ brackets are
attached here, allowing the speakers to be wall-
mounted and precisely positioned.
Pure analogue crossover
A crossover ensures that drive units are fed only with
frequencies in their optimum operating ranges. The
beautifully simple, pure analogue crossover in the
result6 was designed from scratch with the aid of
advanced circuit-modelling techniques, and employs
steep 24db-per-octave lters for maximum efciency
and higher power handling. The crossover point is
set at 2kHz to deliver a seamlessly integrated overall
response.
Isolation mounts
All active electronics are decoupled from the cabinet
for the ideal mechanical isolation.
Trim control
Simple rear-panel trim controls allow ±10dB of output
level adjustment to suit the precise requirements of
your listening environment.
High-power amplication: HF 65W, LF 100W
Twin low-distortion, high-damping-factor ampliers
provide 65W of linear power to the high-frequency
driver and 100W to the bass unit for the maximum
possible headroom and dynamics. The extremely
efcient Class-D designs also include non-invasive
limiting to protect the drivers without adversely
affecting their sound.
HF drive unit
The 27mm fabric soft-dome treble unit features
ferrouid-cooling and a compact neodymium motor
assembly, resulting in a life-like, non-fatiguing HF
response. The dispersion grille is precisely perforated
to provide optimum acoustic loading to the treble
driver, further enhancing HF dispersion in addition to
the benets conferred by the D-Fins (see page 15).
Mid/bass drive unit
The custom-designed, doped natural-bre bass
driver can deliver accurate, well-controlled lowfrequency information down to 45Hz, even at very
low output levels — an impressive performance for
a 6.5-inch diameter driver, made reality by PMC’s

technology.
Silent cabinet
A highly braced, vibration- and ex-resistant
construction, the cabinet provides the perfect
neutral platform for the high-performance drivers,
adding no colouration to the overall output.

ATL
The ATL™ concept has to be re-engineered for every
speaker we make, and the result6 is no exception,
employing a custom transmission line with newly
formulated damping material. As explained on
the previous page, the result6 AT L™ was honed to
integrate perfectly with the bass driver by means
of an innovative laser-based measurement system,
developed and installed at PMC.
Decoupling bands
The distinctive rubberised mounting bands prevent
the result6 from slipping, and also decouple it
acoustically, preventing unwanted vibrations from
colouring your sound.
