IB1S

The IB1S is an extremely flexible 3-way monitor, which has found its home in the most varied of environments.
Commonly seen in Mastering, Broadcast and Postproduction in either stereo or surround when partnered with its dedicated centre channel and SB100 sub bass system. Its huge popularity in Hollywood film scoring and postproduction is assisted by the option of ‘Film filters’. This gives 2 positions of HF roll off: 1.5dB and 3dB per Oct and Flat position.
The IB1S features wide dispersion soft domed fabric mid and high frequency units and the PMC 10" carbon fibre and Nomex™ flat piston low frequency driver. This flat patented driver increases dynamic handling and eliminates distortion that may occur due to cone break up.

You can find the IB1S in the following studios:

“I had heard and used PMC systems in both Europe and the US and fell in love with them. My job has become even more enjoyable and I have found I can work faster as they resolve so much information at all levels. I arrive at a great mix with virtually no work to be done at the mastering stage. I haven’t worked with anything that comes close to their resolution”
Ronald Prent, Galaxy, Belgium

"I didnt buy them to be furniture, I bought them because they sound incredible."
Mr Patterson, Chicago

"The first time i found out about PMC was when your distributor came to one studio where i was mixing my album and brought me a pair of AML's just to try them.
I turned them on and had to mix the whole album again. That was something different for me, for the first time i was satisfied with the mix and what i hear on the radio or home stereo, car stereo etc..
And a month after that I start to build a studio, bought IB1 and Bryston 4B SST and a year later i bought IB2. I cannot imagine working on anything else, what you mix, is what you get."

“My pair of IB1S monitors sounds very, very detailed in the upper-mid range,”

“which makes them ideal for analyzing vocals, guitars and symphonic sources. The sound imaging is astonishing – I enjoy a wide sweet spot at my console. Since my control room is somewhat narrow – which normally upsets imaging – it’s a tribute to these PMC monitors that I can work across a large monitoring area. My work covers a lot of genres in a typical week - any genre, any volume, the IB1S monitors have all the depth and width you could desire.”

“They are great and very accurate! Great sound and its more easy to get good mixes !

The mixes sounds wide and it fits the way we hear in a regular stereo system what says the monitors are great !!

Its amazing! I heard them first time in Metropolis London in Tim Young's mastering room.
First they was very nice on the high freq and very not with focus in the low range

I took advises from the company who built my studio in order to get the maximum. Its Recording Architecture London.
We built new bass traps walls in order to hear very well the low range frequencies and we built very unique stands for the monitors as they advise me.

My studio is very popular here even its only for my projects but I hope more and more musicians here will understand how important is to hear like this”
