ATC SCM50 Active Tower now on dem
16 November 2022
We’ve been super-impressed with our new ATC loudspeakers so far and are now very excited to let you all know that we have another model on demonstration in the shop – SCM50 ASLT, the active ‘Tower’ 50 floorstanders. And these are absolutely singing!
Our demo pair for now are in the finish pictured (Rosewood) and retail at £16200; we’ll be receiving a brand new demo pair of SCM50 ASL active ‘Classic’ Series in the coming weeks (pictured below, retail £15600). Same speaker, same superb sound but in two different styles to suit your own personal aesthetics – a traditional floor standing tower or on small stands.
The Towers are causing quite a stir amongst our clients, in a very good way – we think you need to hear them ?. Get in touch to arrange a listen – hello@adventuresinhifi.com or 01244 345576.
The detail
The SCM50 ASLT (active) and SCM50 PSLT (passive) towers are designed to offer exceptional performance and enjoyment to the home hi-fi enthusiast and music lover.
The monitors’ ability to reproduce music and speech with phenomenal accuracy, transparency and dynamics lies mainly in the SM75-150S soft dome midrange driver. However, recent modifications that include the new ATC SH25-76S tweeter and enhanced port profile have brought about further improvements to all performance parameters.
Each drive unit in the active model has its own dedicated and individually matched MOS-FET amplifier, while the 234mm/9″ bass driver incorporates ATC’s unique Super Linear Magnet technology. The active crossover network consists of a wide band-width, electronically balanced input stage with high common mode rejection and very low distortion.
Like the HF, mid and bass drivers, all electronics are designed and manufactured in-house to create a no-compromise active system. In passive form, the SCM50 PSLT provides broad and symmetrical dispersion, excellent amplitude and phase characteristics throughout the frequency range.
