Basically, the PM2600 can drive any active 2-way system
that consists of full-range cabinets and sub woofers. The
integrated frequency crossover operates in PowerMax
function mode and has been optimised for those com-
binations. Intelligently configuring system components
leads to outstanding results. For more details, please refer
