PMC TwoTwo8's 2015

Selling my personal TwoTwo8's - fantastic condition, in original packaging.

These were supplied to me directly from PMC and delivered to me in 2015.

Lovingly cared for - PMC replaced the tweeters for me with full new modules in 2024.

Pickup available in Manhattan Beach, I'll also consider delivering to serious buyers in the Los Angeles / Burbank area.

Core Features

• Advanced Transmission Line (ATL): Rather than using standard ported or sealed boxes, the cabinet routes internal airflow through a tuned acoustic chamber. This lowers bass distortion, provides linear low-end extension, and improves midrange clarity. [1, 2, 3]
• Flexible Positioning: The monitors include vibration-reducing "DeeCups" on the exterior panels. This enables them to be placed either horizontally or vertically without distorting the stereo imaging or tonal accuracy. [1, 2]
• Onboard DSP: An internal DSP engine handles the crossover filters, driver dispersion alignment, and limit protection. A rear-panel menu system allows you to manually tweak equalization presets to compensate for room placement and desk reflections. [1, 2]

Performance & Sound Profile

• Detailed Midrange: Industry pros on platforms like Gearspace highlight the twotwo.8's exceptionally resolving midrange and deep soundstage. It exposes minute adjustments in compression and reverb decay with great precision. [1]
• Low-Volume Definition: Unlike traditional large monitors that need to be driven hard to balance out, the ATL design ensures that low-end definition remains intact even when mixing at very quiet volumes. This significantly helps avoid ear fatigue during long sessions. [1, 2]
