Limited to just 150 pairs, the 2-way active stand-mount design is finished in a stunning high-gloss lacquer in the ATC company dark blue.
The front baffle is hand-upholstered in royal blue full-grain Nappa leather by German leather specialists Eissmann. The exterior alloy components feature a silver anodised finish in striking contrast to the blue lacquer and leather of the cabinet and baffle.
According to the company, the SCM20ASL Limited Edition continues ATC's philosophy of combining "the best in-house loudspeaker drive units with matched onboard active amplification for optimal fidelity". The new model integrates a 2-way active system, previously only available in a floor-standing model, into a smaller stand-mount cabinet.
The SCM20ASL Limited Edition features ATC's proprietary 150mm/ 6-inch 'Super Linear' Mid/Bass driver paired with a 25mm/ 1-inch 'S-Spec' dual suspension tweeter. The bass driver operates in a 20-litre sealed cabinet, and power is provided by onboard class A/B MOSFET power amplifiers, capable of delivering 200W and 50W continuous power to the bass and HF drivers, respectively.
The loudspeaker crossovers are active, analogue 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley and an all-pass filter is included to optimise the phase response through the crossover region, "resulting in far improved tonal balance and imaging", says the company. Input to the loudspeaker is via balanced XLR, located on the rear panel, and there are user controls for input sensitivity and low-frequency shelf cut/boost. The input sensitivity control allows the user to tailor the input gain to suit their source/pre-amplifier combination, resulting in more consistent performance. The low-frequency shelf control will enable users to subtly adjust the bass response to suit their room or personal taste.
The speaker is supplied with a removable grille wrapped in dark blue acoustically transparent cloth.
Also marking the occasion and to match the new release, ATC has announced an ultra-limited run of just twenty C4 Sub Mk2 Limited Edition 12-inch active subwoofers. These limited-edition subs feature a matching gloss blue cabinet, leather-upholstered baffle, and silver anodised amp hardware.
The ATC SCM20ASL Limited Edition and matching C4 Sub Mk2 Limited Edition are available now and sell for £10,500 RRP and £7,495 RRP, respectively.
