Flush Mount PMC IB1/2 any experiences ?

Post by Andreas23 »

Hello Dear Forum Members,

this is my fitst post in this great forum. I have spent some time reading and can find some
very useful information & hope i can also give some of my knowledge if possible,

I am currently building two studios. One for mastering, other mastering/mixing with
a professional acoustican.

Both studios should have flush mounted speakers.
Currently i own PMC MB2s (passive & free standing) and plan to buy another pair of them or IB2s (passive).

I know MB2 work well flush mounted but i have so far not seen the IB2 in such a configuration.
They are a bit smaller but in my opinion have the better/faster bass.
Max SPL is 116dB, MB2 = 124dB.

So the IB2 can be eventually be a bit so quiet for a heavy damped room at a distance of about 2,5 meters.
So soffit perhaps helps a bit regarding the max SPL in the Bass.

So my questions are :

1. Did anyone flush mount IB2 ?

2. As IB2/MB2 are passive is it possible to change the corossover regarding the shelving filter or
can this only be done externally ? (Full active is too expensive for me, sorry !)

thanks for you help

greetings

Andreas
