twotwo.5

Size is certainly deceptive. Although the smallest member of the twotwo family, this ultra-compact nearfield model, from PMC – the producer of true reference loudspeaker monitors, stands out. The twotwo series blends PMC’s world-class design pedigree with sophisticated digital signal processing and active amplification. This results in a range of stunningly accurate, versatile, and compact two-way reference-grade monitors.

The range comprises three models – the twotwo.5, twotwo.6, and twotwo.8 – all designed and built in Britain with state-of-the-art technologies and components. The outcome is an unrivaled level of clarity, transparency, and accuracy for professional compact monitors. Each model shares the same core design and features, with the model number referring only to the approximate size (in inches) of the bass driver. Larger numbers denote increased cabinet volume, greater bass extension, and higher SPL capabilities.

PMC’s attention to detail is evident throughout the design of the twotwo series. A notable feature of this compact range is their ability to operate in either vertical or horizontal orientations without compromising stereo imaging or tonal accuracy. This makes them ideally suited for nearfield monitoring of music and speech in space-constrained environments such as outside broadcast vehicles, small radio on-air studios, television sound control galleries, project music studios, video editing and post-production suites, and for A&R evaluations.

These are true compact reference monitors equipped with ATL™ bass loading technology. They offer class-leading connectivity, both analogue and digital up to 192kHz, supported by cutting-edge, high-efficiency dual Class-D amplification. A powerful DSP engine controls driver response, crossover, and EQ. Their versatile positioning ensures impeccable performance in both vertical and horizontal orientations, showcasing precision drivers designed and built by PMC for outstanding dynamics and neutrality.

Size can indeed be deceptively small with the twotwo.5 model. Despite being the smallest member of the twotwo family, this ultra-compact nearfield monitor incorporates the same technology as its larger counterparts, surpassing expectations with its performance. It delivers astonishing resolution and neutrality thanks to sophisticated DSP, dual power amplifiers, PMC's new 27mm tweeter, and a 140mm (5.5”) bass unit, all housed within a carefully specified ATL™ labyrinth cabinet. This design provides class-leading depth of bass for the cabinet size while maintaining exceptional dynamics and musicality. The twotwo.5 is a reliable, high-resolution monitor perfect for spaces where quality cannot be compromised despite size constraints.

The twotwo range received acclaim at ASCAP's annual songwriting event at industry veteran Miles Copeland's Chateau Marouatte. Here, some world-class songwriters and producers shared their positive experiences working with the twotwo series.
