PM 3
The Precision Monitor Line consists of four models. These are all-new clean sheet designs which feature new cabinets, dirvers and crossovers. Drawing on decades of design and manufacturing experience, these are designed to provide you with endless hours of musical enjoyment.
The PM 3 occupies the sweet spot of their three-way monitors in the PM Line. While it is relatively compact, it nevertheless provides a surprisingly full-range reproduction of music. With robust bass for it's size coupled with a superbly natural midrange, this is an excellent speaker that deserves to be auditioned by any serious music lover who seeks full-range reproduction but in a relatively compact cabinet.
Manufactured by Avalon Acoustics to their exacting standards, the PM 3 is available in a variety of finishes. Standard finishes are Birdseye Maple clear, Polychrome Light or Polychrome Dark. Premium finishes include Curly Maple, Quilted Cherry, Figured Walnut, etc. In addition you can choose from either a clear coat Satin or High Gloss finish.
Selected Design Highlights
PRECISION MONITOR 3 is POWER! The goal was to create the most dynamically impressivehigh energy transducer of nominal size, a smaller version of our award-winning SAGA.By directly transfering the crossover topology and high-current elements of SAGA into PM3,we have acheived a standard of low frequency reproduction never before attained in aloudspeaker of this size. The impedance is absolutely flat below 200Hz, creating a non-reactiveload with no back EMF seen by the driving amplifier. The result is a fast, clear and powerfullow frequency presentation without group-delay error. The resultant phasing accuracyproduces consistent staging stability throughout the frequency spectrum, with focused andvivid imagery, regardless of volume. Accurate and efficient utilization of amplifier energypresents powerful impactive sound pressure without smearing or energy storage. Midrangeclarity is open and focused, with high frequencies fully integrated into the overall sonicstructure. Three-dimensional staging is both wide and tall, with our characteristicAvalon-transparency and black background.
FEATURES• Proprietary Silent Inert Cabinet material/process • Meticulous tracking of power response, amplitude response, phase response,and transient response for unparalleled ambience retrieval and naturaltonality. • Purely pistonic wavefront generation with smooth open lobing characteristics. • Stored energy elimination (SEE) technology produces clear stable imaging and black backgrounds even under heavy SPL demands.
• Entirely resistive and finite loading from 10 Hz to 250 KHz minimizing amplifier perturbation effects.
• Advanced light weight driver diaphragm materials minimize energy storage and time-domain distortion.
• Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum performance. • Smooth, wide polar response for superlative imaging capabilities. • Exceptional impedance characteristic allows for ideal interface with any amplifier. • Crossover circuitry is hard-wired with surface-only conductors, eliminating deleterious sonic effects of printed-circuit boards. • Proprietary all-phase crossover topologies. • Careful crossover control of all magnetic field interaction. • Proprietary magnetics technology increases energy transfer and reduces noisefloor. • Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations.
