PMC Fact 8 Loudspeakers

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.

The Crossovers - Hidden Perfection

The purpose of a crossover is to divide the incoming signal from an amplifier into the frequencies best suited for
each of the drive units within a loudspeaker, a key design element that demands the utmost precision.

All fact® designs feature extremely accurate and sophisticated crossovers that incorporated steep, 24dB per octave filters. Their foundation is a military-grade glass-fibre board, cut in the signature fact® “lozenge” shape, upon which ultra-thick, pure copper tracks are aligned to optimise unrestricted current delivery.

Only components that have passed extensive comparative listening tests were selected, and even their mounting orientation was carefully evaluated to eradicate any electromagnetic interaction that could potentially impair signal transmission.

This holistic approach, where all design elements are treated with the same significance, is a signature of the fact®’s design excellence. This guarantees supreme power handling and ultra-low distortion, both of which play a major role in the exceptional clarity and wide, three-dimensional soundstage to be enjoyed across a wide listening area.

The lifeline of just one component

When designing the fact® crossover, the value of the capacitors was first calculated, and then the best-sounding example - chosen from many different manufacturers - was selected.

Upon delivery, each capacitor is tested to ensure it matches the required specifications and a record of the measurement results are kept. Pairs of capacitors with identical specifications are used in each pair of loudspeakers, ensuring that their characteristics are indistinguishable. The capacitors are then soldered, bonded and anchored by hand onto the military-grade crossover circuit board, which is also individually inspected and tested.

The crossover can then be considered for installation, but only after its performance characteristics are approved following both critical listening tests and exacting computerised measurements. But it’s not just capacitors and crossovers; every single component of PMC’s fact® loudspeakers is subject to the same rigorous test procedures, ensuring that each loudspeaker is a precise replica of our reference.

The drive units

For almost twenty years, PMC has been manufacturing drive units for the most analytical and critical professional clients, for whom quality and reliability are of paramount importance. fact® raises the bar yet further, an intensive research and design process resulting in an even higher standard of performance.

Through the standardisation of both tweeter and bass units, every fact® model is not only visually consistent,but also shares the same acoustic signature, making the range ideal for high-end surround and multi-room installations where different models can be chosen for specific locations and roles.

Many of the lightest, strongest and most durable substances known to science are naturally-occurring, honed over countless millennia, and it was from this vast resource that PMC selected materials to compliment the ultra high-tech, modern technologies incorporated into our latest drive units. The result of this unique combination is a sound that is cutting-edge, uncoloured and natural.
