PMC AML2 Monitors A Racing Certainty For Bruno Senna

Formula One Driver Senna Auditions AML2 Speakers At PMC Factory


Bruno Senna, nephew of the late Ayrton Senna and himself a Formula One driver, is auditioning a pair of PMC´s AML2 active monitors for use in his Monaco-based project studio. Senna visited the PMC factory, met Chief Designer Pete Thomas and auditioned the AML2s between Silverstone training sessions in July.

There´s another side to Bruno Senna, the Brazilian nephew of the late Ayrton Senna and himself a driver for the Hispania Racing Formula One team. A long-standing fan of house and trance music, Senna has had a project studio at his Monaco home for several years where he carries out remixes and production work. Pride of place in this compact setup is a pair of PMC TB2S-A Mark II monitors, but their owner has been looking for something with even more detail and bass extension for some time now. Following recent conversations with PMC´s designers, Senna agreed to call in to the company factory to try out early production models of PMC´s new AML2 compact active monitor when he was next in the UK.

Senna made a trip to the PMC HQ between training sessions at the Silverstone track in July and met PMC´s Chief Designer and co-founder Pete Thomas in addition to trying out the new AML2s. Conversation ranged from the latest in carbon-fibre technology and its application to the construction of lightweight racing cars and speaker drivers to, well… lots of further discussion about fast cars!

When it came to the AML2 audition, Senna was impressed. "How do you get a big monitor sound like that from such small speakers?" he wondered. As he headed back to Silverstone, his parting words were, "These are the best nearfield monitors I´ve heard — they´re going on my shopping list!"


AML2
The new AML2 takes the design of the internationally acclaimed AML1 compact active monitor still further, with newly introduced micro-engineered EQ tilt circuitry, enhanced power supply layouts, a revised cabinet structure with additional damping, and subtly revised cosmetics. This uncompromising design offers performance unmatched by any other speaker of a similar size and volume; for example, the unique driver arrangement, with a crossover point of only 1.4kHz, enables the AML to deliver an amazingly accurate portrayal of music or speech.
