Avalon Acoustics PM3.2 Loudspeakers

The PM3.2 is the replacement for the original PM3, launched by Avalon in the Spring of 2023 and as with the PM1.2 and PM2.2 the PM3.2 has all new bespoke drive units, all new internal cabling and a revised crossover network.

The goal was to create the most dynamically impressive high energy capability from a transducer of nominal size, a smaller version of Avalon’s award-winning SAGA.

By directly transferring the crossover topology and high-current parts of SAGA into PM3, Avalon have achieved a standard of low frequency reproduction never before attained in a loudspeaker of this size. The impedance is absolutely flat below 200 Hz, deviating less than +/- .1 (1/10) ohm. No transducer in the world can claim such accurate and efficient utilisation of amplifier energy. The result is powerful impactive sound pressure with no phase errors or energy storage. Midrange clarity is open and focused, with high frequencies fully integrated into the overall sonic structure. Three-dimensional staging is both wide and tall, with our characteristic Avalon-transparency and black background.

• • Meticulous tracking of power response, amplitude response, phase response, and transient response for unparalleled ambience retrieval and natural tonality

• • Purely pistonic wavefront generation with smooth open lobing characteristics

• • Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum performance.

• • Stored energy elimination (SEE) technology produces clear stable imaging and black backgrounds even under heavy SPL demands

• • Entirely resistive and finite loading from 10Hz to 250KHz 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 noise floor.
  • Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations.
