The World-famous Studios A & B Are Each to Receive a Pair of QB1-As
Los Angeles, October 10, 2014 — U.K. loudspeaker manufacturer PMC is proud to publicly announce the first sale of PMC’s QB1-A reference monitors. The sale of two pairs of the new reference monitors to Capitol Studios has been confirmed at the AES Convention in Los Angeles as part of the ongoing refurbishment program at Capitol, with one pair destined for Studio A, the other for Studio B.
Launched this week at the AES show, the QB1-A is PMC’s new high-end monitor (Booth 1628). Designed to provide a new reference standard for medium- to large-scale recording facilities in terms of accuracy, dynamics, resolution and headroom, it offers over 4800 Watts of power per channel and incorporates analogue and digital inputs, PMC’s Advanced Transmission Line (ATLTM) bass-loading technology, DSP control, and the latest generation of PMC’s Class-D amplification and driver designs.
Capitol’s engineers and management were part of a network of international industry professionals who provided invaluable feedback on the design of the QB1-A as it evolved. Prototype versions of the speakers have been installed in Capitol Studios for some months, with regular upgrades as the product was honed in the final stages. These early versions will shortly be replaced by the first production QB1-As from the PMC
factory in the U.K.
“Our relationship with Capitol has been an important element in the QB1-A project from very early in the design process,” comments PMC’s Communications & Artist Relations Manager Paul O’Farrell-Stevens. “And of course we’re delighted that such an iconic recording facility is providing us with our first
QB1-A sale. For anyone connected with music, anywhere in the world, Capitol is one of the most instantly recognizable recording studios, with an extraordinary heritage coupled with state-of-the-art equipment. The QB1-A represents a step change in high-end reference monitor technology, and as Capitol Studios goes from strength to strength following its recent refit, we are very proud that our new monitors are now part of
the story.”
