Goodmans (where many of the names that went on to found British loudspeaker companies began their careers), he struck out on his own. The premise on which ATC began is a simple one – and one that, in many respects, is still true today: hi-fi loudspeakers tend to be detailed and accurate, but of limited dynamic range, while professional monitor speakers tend to express the opposite character.

The further step from electronics for active speakers to a range of stand-alone amplifier products was natural and now means that ATC engineering is available from the recording desk or CD player output to the ears.

There is a good argument for the use of Bass Management in modest, cost sensitive systems with restricted dynamic range. However, when applied to high quality systems the side effects are likely to be intrusive. We strongly recommend that Bass Management should not be used with ATC loudspeakers in domestic applications.

There are no user-replaceable parts within the speaker and, in the unfortunate event of any malfunction, repair should be referred to either the supplying dealer or consultant, the relevant importer, or ATC. ATC has every confidence in the quality of each product that it manufactures.
