It may not look unusual, but the new Entry Series from ATC brings their famous super drivers to homes everywhere. British ATC made its name creating the world's most expensive midrange driver, the famous ATC SM75-150 3" dome. $900 a pop if you want to buy one of these magic 8 balls for a DIY project, the ATC driver -- and all ATC speakers -- claim the lowest distortion specs in audio, giving ATC speakers the reputation for revealing every last detail.
ATC is part of the ultra-pro scene, providing the hertz for such people as, oh, the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Lenny Kravitz, Depeche Mode, Hans Zimmer, Peter Gabriel as well as many of the top recording studios across the land. Check out the notches on their binding posts.
The new ATC Entry Series line includes the SCM 7, SCM 11, SCM 19 (pictured below) and SCM 40 (pictured left). The SCM 7 and 11 will get many a near-field computer audio aficionado excited while the SCM 40 may finally answer people's prayers for a slim floorstanding speaker using the ATC SM75-150 driver. The other speakers are all two way models using ATC's unusual mid/bass drivers where the center "dustcap" acts as a dedicated midrange dome (pictured below).
No prices yet, but expect to see the new ATCs around $1000-$4000. And know that ATC champions low sensitivity designs with their sealed boxes, hitting about 85dB into 8 ohms. ATC has been gaining in popularity here in the states so don't be surprised if you see these Brits circulating the audiophile support groups soon. Read all the details.
