MB2 XBD A SE

PMC MB2 XBD SE Active — 3-way active floorstander including plinth and amplifiers. The PMC MB2 XBD A SE is the active version of the MB2 XBD SE, incorporating a built-in multi-channel Class D amplifier and active crossover into the extended-bass enclosure platform. Integrated amplification drives each driver independently, eliminating passive crossover losses and allowing optimised control of each driver for improved transient response and dynamic range.

Technical background

The MB2 XBD A SE combines the active MB2 A SE with an actively driven XBD bass extension cabinet, creating a fully integrated full-range active monitoring system. The active crossover manages all driver integration from a single DSP platform, providing exceptional phase coherence throughout the full bandwidth.

Design story

Designed for facilities that demand maximum bass accuracy and the convenience of a self-powered system, the MB2 XBD A SE represents the pinnacle of PMC's midfield active monitoring range.
