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 3-way monitors both feature proprietary drive units designed and manufactured by ATC . Low frequencies < 380H z are handled by a 6.5”/164 mm bass driver, mid-range frequencies between 380H z & 3 . 5 k H z by the ATC 3”/75 mm soft dome mid-driver. High frequencies > 3 . 5 k H z are handled by ATC ’s SH25 - 76S Dual-Suspension 1 ”...

R o o m I n t e r a c t i o n The room in which a loudspeaker is placed can be thought of as a filter, altering the acoustic response at the listening position from that of the loudspeaker.

• The low frequency balance of a loudspeaker is heavily influenced by the room. If the balance is bass heavy/bass light, experiment with positioning and apply room treatment before resulting to equalisation. M 8 e y e b o l t •...

When the switch is in the upward position the switch lamp is not illuminated and the loudspeaker is powered off. Due to the nature of the electronics in ATC active loudspeakers it is quite normal for a sound to be heard from the speaker when the power is applied or disconnected.

The ear and brain tend to interpret distorted sound as loudness and thus underestimate the actual level of undistorted sound. The SCM25A Pro M k 2 and SCM25A i Pro M k 2 , like all ATC monitors, demonstrate much lower levels of distortion than conventional systems of a similar size and it is therefore advisable to begin listening at an artificially low level and carefully increase the volume.
