Avalon Acoustics PM 1.2 Floorstanding Loudspeaker

The Avalon Acoustics PM 1.2 floorstanding loudspeaker is a high-efficiency floor-standing reference monitor, designed specifically for generating maximum dynamic contrast and effective sound pressure levels from a compact chassis. Ease of driveability through a non-reactive impedance load presents low powered tube or solid-state electronics with an ideal interface for generating maximum SPL per watt of power applied.

The design goal of the Avalon Acoustics Precision Monitor speaker range is simple: Transfer as much technology as possible from our award-winning Tesseract design into a series of practically sized reference monitors. Proprietary low noise circuitry and phase-coherent network technologies will dictate each driver’s performance envelope to create an accurate 3-dimensional reproduction of the original recording. Transient speed and dynamics will be paramount, presenting macro and micro-dynamic contrasts to focused images within the breadth and depth of the soundstage.

Features:

• All new, in-house custom designed drive units with updated crossover to complement.
• A faster, deeper transient response, further enhancing the already legendary listening experience offered by the outgoing PM 1
• All internal cabling custom designed by Avalon
• New Dark Polychrome finish available in matt and high-gloss options
• Proprietary Silent Inert Cabinet material/process
• 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
• Maximum energy transfer from low power amplification
• Careful crossover control of all magnetic field interaction
• Proprietary magnetics technology increases energy transfer and reduces noise floor
• Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations
• Three and one-quarter inch thick front panel supplies acoustically inert wave-launch platform
• Proprietary phase-linear filter and damping networks
• Distinctive faceted cabinet design provides optimal polar characteristics
