A message from Peter Thomas:
Peter Thomas
Owner & Chief Designer
“
Our sole aim while designing loudspeakers is to recreate the true essence of an artist’s
intention, combining the ultimate level of sonic resolution with solid engineering principles.
We believe that the same loudspeaker can be used throughout the entire audio chain,
from composer to studio or lm stage, post-production or mastering and then, nally,
the consumer. We also think that a well designed loudspeaker should be able to excel
regardless of the audio genre, and reproduce spoken word, rock, pop, or classical music
with the same precision and accuracy. Our unswerving passion for getting it right has made
this goal possible.
Thank you for choosing PMC products. Please read this user guide and install your new
twotwo remote control bearing in mind the advice given within.
Over more than two decades PMC
has earned an unrivalled reputation for
creating the world’s nest professional
loudspeakers. Simply put, our loudspeakers
provide a reference for the world’s highest
prole productions and events. They are
found at every stage of the creative
process, from conception to recording
and broadcast and, of course, in the
home.
Our client list reads like a who’s who of the
sonically aware, with Prince, Elbow,
Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Brian May,
Universal, EMI, Sony, Pinewood Studios,
Dreamworks, Deutsche Grammophon and
the BBC among the makers of movies and
music who use our products.
Our loudspeakers were also used in the
production of Titanic, Spiderman III, Iron
Man 2, Finding Nemo, Pirates of the
Caribbean III, and during broadcasts of
the London Olympics, 2012.

General Usage Guidelines
Thank you for choosing the PMC twotwo remote control. This guide provides installation and
operating instructions.
The twotwo remote control can be used with any combination of twotwo series loudspeakers
and sub-woofers, allowing operational control and full conguration of all connected devices.
Connections
The twotwo remote control is connected to the RJ45 In socket on the rst twotwo series in the
control chain using the supplied RJ45 cable. The RJ45 Thru socket of the rst loudspeaker in the
chain is then connected to the RJ45 In socket of the subsequent speaker using another RJ45
cable. Additional speakers are daisy chained it the same manner.
The supplied loop-back terminator must be plugged into the RJ45 Thru port of the last
loudspeaker in the control chain.
Loudspeakers can be connected in any order, but digital audio is passed only from one
speaker to the following speaker in the chain. For example, if you connect a stereo digital
input to the front left speaker, it makes sense to connect the front right speaker as the following
device in the control chain, since it can then access the right audio channel directly via its RJ45
connection.
