Front & Centre ATC

Hot on the heels of its recently released SCS120 Pro and SCS120iW Pro flagship 15”/375 mm active subwoofers, ATC is proud to announce availability of SCM105AC Pro and SCM105AiWC Pro — precision-engineered centre channel studio monitors for surround and immersive environments, sharing engineering and technology with the company’s tried-and-tested three-way studio monitors, making the resulting performance available in a compact cabinet format that delivers exceptional clarity and resolution in the centre channel.

The two new models are both based on the successful SCM110A Pro, a three-way studio monitor trusted by leading studios worldwide. Both boast dual 9”/234 mm SL bass drivers, a 3”/75 mm ‘Superdome’ midrange, and a 1”/25 mm S-Spec tweeter, all designed and manufactured in-house by ATC. Those dual drivers are driven by a discrete MOSFET A/B power amplifier delivering 200W (bass), 100W (mid), and 50W (HF), while a 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley electronic crossover with all-pass filters offers uncompromising phase coherence and audio clarity.

Clearly, there are two different configurations of high-performance centre channel studio monitoring on offer from ATC, as implied by name — namely, SCM105AC Pro, available as a free-standing/stand-mount solution, and SCM105AiWC Pro, optimised for flush monitoring in-wall courtesy of its full-face square edge front baffle for seamless in-wall integration and improved acoustic performance, plus recessed rear-mounted input panel for reduced depth.

Though the primary application of the SCM105AC Pro or SCM105AiWC Pro is as a centre channel in 5.1, 7.1, and immersive audio applications such as Dolby Atmos, performance is not application/channel specific, however, and both new products can be used as left/right stereo pairs or as surround channels, should the cabinet format be the best solution for a given room or project. These two new high-performance centre channel studio monitors are ideally matched to those SCM50A Pro, SCM100A Pro, SCM110A Pro, and SCM150A Pro studio monitors.

SCM105AC Pro and SCM105AiWC Pro are both available at a RRP (Recommended Retail Price) of £7,604.00 GBP (excluding VAT), the latter’s partnering R1-350 Pro remote amp being available at a RRP of £713.00 GBP (excluding VAT and cables).
