Channelling audio greatness

The twenty.C centre channel from PMC has been conceived in response to the phenomenal reception that the twenty series received when it was launched at the company’s 20th anniversary conference in September 2011. The most common request since then from the company’s distributors, retailers and end users has been for a centre channel to match the four strong line up of the twenty series.
As with all PMC loudspeakers, the twenty.C features the company’s patented Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) technology. The 18mm Medite HDF cabinet construction and design, with its 5∘ sloping front and rear baffles, are inherently high in rigidity and low in resonance, which serves to reduce cabinet induced distortions significantly and enhance the performance of the ATL as well as offering dynamic, contemporary aesthetics. Further developments of the ATL technology have enabled the engineers to produce a much deeper bass than would generally be possible in a cabinet of this size. And, crucially, the effectiveness of the ATL greatly enhances the mid-range clarity that is so important in the performance of a centre channel speaker, which can be handling up to 70% of the movie soundtrack and dialogue.
Peter Thomas, founder and chief designer, said of the twenty.C: “The missing piece in the new twenty series was the centre channel speaker, but being PMC we wanted to design a no compromise product from the ground up that is perfect for the job. That is why it has taken us five months since the launch of the twenty series to come out with the twenty.C.” He added, “Creating an impressive low end performance with phenomenal vocal clarity from a speaker small enough to slot into a standard AV rack is not without its challenges. The engineering team has spent many hours perfecting a new transmission line and has come up with something special for the twenty.C. I am convinced that movie lovers will be enthralled by the performance when they hear it.”
The twenty.C is available in a choice of three real wood veneers, Oak, Walnut and Amarone and a new high gloss finish, Diamond Black. The exclusive warm black PMC cloth covered grille is fixed in place using invisible magnets to retain an unblemished front baffle. As with all PMC passive loudspeakers the twenty.C is covered by the class-leading 20 year warranty.
