PMC Launches Multichannel Amp For Immersive Audio Applications

UK manufacturer PMC has launched a new multichannel amplifier specifically designed to meet the needs of the professional immersive audio and home cinema markets requiring multiple speakers. Designed for PMC by British manufacturer Linea Research, the eight-channel 750-8 is able to power any passive PMC speaker, offering a massive power output of 750 watts per channel, or 1,500 watts per channel when bridged and configured as a four-channel amplifier.

Focusrite plc, the British music and audio conglomerate company that also owns Martin Audio among other brands - and recently created Optimal Audio - announced the acquisition of Linea Research Holdings Ltd, a UK-based designer and manufacturer of professional audio equipment. The acquisition allows Focusrite to add a very strong audio amplifier and signal processing company to the group, while the founders of Linea Research join the fast growing Focusrite Group.
