PMC Speakers is launching the Hear More Tour – a series of seminars and playback demonstrations aimed at exploring high-end professional audio monitoring – with first dates in South Africa.

In conjunction with South Africa distributor Benjamin Pro Audio, PMC will use the events to showcase its line-up of professional studio products including the twotwo close-field range, the latest IB1S-AIII active monitors and IB1S passive monitors.

‘The Hear More Tour will highlight exactly what separates world class speakers from mediocre designs,’ says PMC Export Sales Manager, Chris Allen who will present each seminar. ‘We’ll be getting under the hood of our unique ATL monitor speakers to explain how and why we design monitors the way we do, why we focus so heavily on hand-built quality and the massive benefits our approach brings to professional users. Attendees will be able to hear a variety of material through a range of PMC products so that they can experience the full capabilities of PMC speakers for themselves.’

Throughout the tour, attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss high-level studio monitoring with recording professionals who will share their skills. Guest speakers include mastering engineers Troye Lilley, head of Troye Lilley Mastering in Cape Town, and Rogan Kelsey, of Kelsey Mastering in Bryanston.

‘These seminars are designed to appeal to a wide range of attendees, from those who are already making a living in this field through to students who want to learn from the professionals,’ Allen adds.

The South Africa tour opens at Digital Forest Studios in Cape Town on August 8th. It then moves to Cape Town’s Academy of Sound Engineering on 10 August, Pop Filter Studios in Pretoria on 12 August, Howard Audio in Johannesburg on 13 August and the Academy of Sound Engineering in Johannesburg on 15 August. Entry to each event is free.

The Hear More Tour moves to Russia in September, where further events are being planned.
