Reveal What's in Your Recordings: British-Made ATC SCM50 SL Passive Floor-Standing Loudspeakers Play with Elevated Accuracy, Transparency, and Dynamics
How well do you know the intricacies, timbre, and emotionalism of your favorite vocalists and instrumentalists? The ATC SCM50 SL floor-standing loudspeakers are expertly engineered to help you find out – and expose contours associated with phrasing, rhythm, pacing, and tonality that few designs reveal. Equally at home in professional studios and in high-fidelity systems, SCM50 SL bares the truth of the finite details embedded in recordings. The three-way model performs with an elevated standard of accuracy, transparency, and dynamics that at first blush might seem startling. Yes, recorded music can really sound this realistic, focused, balanced, articulate, and expressive.
True to ATC's heritage, SCM50 SL offers a wellspring of power, allowing it to play with deep, crisp, agile bass and paint multi-dimensional soundstages. Afforded a one-inch SH25-76S silk-dome tweeter, three-inch SM75-150S soft-dome midrange driver, and nine-inch woofer – all manufactured in-house to create a cohesive array distinguished by symmetrical dispersion, stellar amplitude, and reference-level phase characteristics throughout the entire frequency range – these British-made monitors seamlessly juggle prized sonic aspects often at odds with one another. Attack, extension, detail, and tunefulness come through in spades, none needing to be sacrificed for the other. No wonder SCM50 SL proves such a well-rounder on every type of music.
"Rather more powerful than its modest proportions might indicate, this fine design delivers stereo images on a grand scale, and conveys much of the character and detail in fine recordings."
