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: hifi loudspeakers tend to be detailed and accurate but of limited dynamic range, while professional monitor speakers tend to express the opposite character .

The ear and brain tend to interpret distorted sound as loudness and thus underestimate the actual level of undistorted sound. The SCM20PSL and SCM20ASL , 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.

If you intend to use your loudspeakers in an alternative territory, please contact ATC for advice. The mains connection must always be earthed. The signal cable(s) and plug(s) should be of a good quality and XLR terminated. Poor cable and plug quality will compromise the performance of your loudspeakers.

Details can be found on the ATC website. 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 noise heard will not damage the speaker and is quite normal. Although ATC uses the highest-grade components, a different noise may be I n p u t S o c k e t heard from each speaker due to slight tolerance variations in the amplifier components.

C o n n e c t i o n The SCM20PSL loudspeakers are equipped with a “bi-wire” connection panel to enable separate wiring/amplification of the mid-bass driver and If you wish to bi-wire or bi-amp, remove the linking bars, between vertical pairs of terminals. The upper horizontal pair of terminals are connected to tweeter.
