Nonetheless, the SCM 11's CLD cone is claimed to reduce distortion between 300Hz and 3kHz by an unstated amount. Super Linear technology is claimed to reduce third-order harmonic distortion 10≡5dB between 100Hz and 3kHz, which makes me eager to hear it. The SCM 19 costs $3150/pair, which puts it outside the limits of this hunt for affordable systems (though it looks very tempting). The SCM 11 has Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) on its cone but doesn't share the Super Linear magnet technology found in the SCM 19, a superficially similar two-way with the same size woofer in a larger cabinet. (ATC's larger designs are ported.)ĪTC's lineup of consumer speakers includes one model below the SCM 11, the SCM 7, which has a 5" mid/woofer and costs $1050/pair. I didn't realize until I removed the SCM 11 from its cloth bag that its bass loading is sealed-box had I known that, I would have requested them even earlier. I requested a pair of ATC's SCM 11 passive monitors because its price of $1750/pair in real cherry veneer (or $1850/pair in black ash) fit into my quest to find affordable systems in the $2500$3750 range. ATC loudspeakers are all still made in the UK, and were a favorite of the late J.
#Atc scm 12 professional
ATC SCM12s.The venerable British company ATC Loudspeaker Technology was founded in 1974 by Billy Woodman, and is famous within the professional community for developing the first soft-dome midrange driver, and for their well-regarded line of active (powered) studio monitors, the user list of which is a veritable Who's Who of mastering engineers. I wonder two things: could it be some sort of phase issue with the sub and the amphions? Could it be that the atcs are more prominent in the 100-300 area and I’m hearing harmonics? Don’t know, but so far I’m tending to trust the atcs a little more.ġ2:08:54 GMT -6 Johnkenn said:Guess what I bought (couldn’t pass on $1400). I immediately heard issues below 50hz that I didn’t hear as much with the Amphions and the sub. With the sub - in comparison to the One 18s with the sub, im hearing the low end much, much better. The ATCs really seem to lack bottom without a sub - in fact, I don’t think I would keep them without.but here’s the weird thing. I still prefer “listening” to the Amphions, but I guess that’s not what these things are for, right? Having fresh ears, the Amphions are def more forward in the 500-2khz region.which could explain why I felt like some of my mixes seemed a bit scooped. The first mix translated really well and I think the translation might even be better with these. ATC SCM12s.Ĭommitting to mixing on them for a while. Guess what I bought (couldn’t pass on $1400). So, as of right now, I think I'm leaning towards the ATCs.but maybe I'm talking myself/rationalizing my way into it. I have noticed sometimes my mixes sound a little scooped of midrange - which would make sense if the Amphions are a little forward. Who knows, I could have shitty ears - but I don't think so. These are just my ears in my room, so I'm not pretending to be king shit. The Amphions might have a little more separation - or wider soundstage - and they may seem to sound a little more exciting.but that would make sense if they are little more forward. It makes me think that this forwardness isn't at all what was intended. In the song "Musical Genocide," I can really hear this. Sounds maybe a little forward, but not that overtone/pain - kind've like you get when you solo/audition what a de-esser is cutting out in a signal. But when I switch over to the ATCs, there's no pain. Just a little painful (music isn't supposed to be painful) in a wide Q around the 1khz region when he really is belting. But everything about that recording and mixing job otherwise is just fantastic. Always thought maybe it was just the mix. I'm listening to one of my favorite sounding records in a long time, Gregory Porter "Liquid Spirit." I've often thought that his voice could get a little painful at loudish volume listening. Don't know if that's intended, don't know if that's more of the truth or what. The Amphions are definitely more forward in the 600Hz (ish) - 4 kHz area. 13:55:23 GMT -6 Johnkenn said:After more listening (gonna start building and mixing a tune on the ATC's tonight)
