ATC Announces New SSM Series Wall/Ceiling-Mount Monitors and R4-150 Pro Quad-Mono Power Amplifier

Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK – ATC is expanding its professional loudspeaker portfolio with the introduction of the SSM Series, a new generation of shallow, wall and ceiling-mount passive studio monitors designed for modern control rooms, surround and immersive audio environments. The range launches with two models – the SSM12i Pro and SSM25i Pro – alongside the new R4-150 Pro, a four-channel power amplifier that makes an ideal partner to the new loudspeaker series.

Designed for Space-Critical Installations

Both SSM models feature very shallow enclosures – 147 mm / 5 13/16” for the two-way SSM12i Pro and 198 mm / 7 13/16” for the three-way SSM25i Pro – including mounting hardware. This enables integration into control rooms where room width, depth and ceiling height are critical constraints.

The cabinets can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation and use a robust mounting system that attaches flat to a wall or ceiling. A pivoting mechanism allows precise aiming toward the mix position, enabling improved imaging, and in-room response.

Both enclosures incorporate internal steel reinforcement and a safety-tether point to meet the practical requirements of secure professional installation, particularly for overhead mounting.

SSM12i Pro – 2-way

The SSM12i Pro is a passive two-way loudspeaker engineered around ATC’s proprietary drive-unit technology and housed within a sealed cabinet optimised for on-wall/ceiling installation.

Low and mid-range is handled by the SB45-150CLD 150 mm driver, whose Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) cone minimises breakup modes while maintaining linear behaviour across the operating band. Above the 2.2 kHz crossover point, ATC’s SH25-76 25 mm dual-suspension soft-dome tweeter provides low distortion and excellent high-frequency resolution.

Together with a newly developed crossover network – modelled and fine-tuned specifically for on-wall operation – the SSM12i Pro delivers high resolution, controlled dispersion, and accurate translation with compact control & mix rooms.

SSM25i Pro – 3-way

For medium to large control rooms, including those used for mixing Dolby Atmos and other immersive audio formats, the SSM25i Pro offers improved bandwidth and output via a three-way sealed design and three ATC proprietary drive units.

Low frequencies are handled by the SB50-164SC 164 mm/6.5” driver featuring a short-coil/long-gap motor and paper/carbon-fibre composite cone. Mid-range duties are performed by ATC’s renowned SM75-150 75 mm/3” soft-dome – known for its exceptional clarity and minimal coloration – while high frequencies are managed by the SH25-76S tweeter, featuring a high-flux motor to deliver an extended high-frequency response and very low distortion.

The crossover network has again been engineered specifically for boundary mounting, ensuring the speaker delivers ATC’s signature neutrality and transient accuracy even when installed close to surfaces and perfect integration with ATC’s range of active loudspeakers and subwoofers.

Physical Specifications (Selected)

SSM12i Pro (flat portrait orientation inc. hardware):

  • 517 × 315 x 147mm / 20 3/8 x 12 3/8 x 5 13/16 ” (H x W x D).
  • 14.8 kg / 32.6lbs.

SSM25i Pro (flat portrait orientation inc. hardware):

  • 767 × 380 x 198mm / 30 3/16 x 14 15/16 x 7 13/16” (H x W x D).
  • 28.2 kg / 62.2lbs.

Due to weight and overhead mounting considerations, SSM Series products must be installed
by qualified professionals. Both models ship with mounting hardware drilling templates.

R4-150 Pro — Quad-Mono Amplification for Professional Multi-Channel Systems

To complement the SSM Series, ATC introduces the R4-150 Pro, a new 5U rack-mount, quad-mono power amplifier built around four independent power supplies and class A/B MOSFET output stages.

Each channel delivers 150 W continuous, making the R4-150 Pro ideally suited for the dynamic demands of immersive audio and multi-channel playback or bi-amping passive nearfield monitors. Balanced inputs are provided via four XLR connectors with very high common-mode rejection, while outputs use Neutrik NL4 sockets for a secure and reliable connection.

With convection cooling for silent operation and built-in thermal and DC-offset protection, the R4-150 Pro is designed for reliable long-term use in the most demanding professional studio installations. A remote power-on/off trigger further simplifies integration into larger control systems.

ATC Unveils High-Output SCS140iW Pro 2×12” and SCS240iW Pro 2×15” In-Wall Subwoofers.

Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK: ATC is proud to introduce its SCS140iW and SCS240iW Pro subwoofers, new dual-driver in-wall models evolved from the established 12” SCS70iW Pro and 15” SCS120iW Pro designs. Representing ATC’s most powerful in-wall subwoofer systems to date, these models deliver significantly increased output and performance for modern stereo, surround and immersive monitoring environments.

The larger SCS240iW Pro has been engineered for the largest control rooms, stereo and immersive formats and for seamless integration with ATC’s SCM300AiW main monitors. The SCS140iW Pro, meanwhile, is ideally suited to partner the SCM200AiW main monitors and performs equally effectively as a dedicated LFE solution for surround and immersive formats such as Dolby Atmos. Both subwoofers provide extended low-frequency capability and exceptional headroom, enabling accurate monitoring in demanding professional environments.

SCS140iW Pro

The SCS140iW Pro is a new 2×12” design that builds upon the strengths of the proven SCS70iW Pro by utilising a pair of 12”/300 mm drivers and dual remote amplifiers. This upgrade delivers a 6 dB increase in output, achieving a continuous SPL capability of 116 dB and a peak of 121 dB at 1 m. Despite this performance, the cabinet remains compact, with a width that matches the SCM200AiW in-wall main monitor for a cohesive visual and acoustic pairing. The SCS140iW Pro can also partner smaller ATC models or complement any system requiring extended bass performance with high SPL and headroom.

SCS240iW Pro

Designed for the largest control rooms, the SCS240iW Pro is the most powerful and linear subwoofer manufactured by ATC. Evolved from the SCS120iW Pro, this new 2×15” design doubles both the driver and amplifier complement, resulting in a 6 dB increase in output over its predecessor. It delivers 119 dB continuous and 126 dB peak SPL at 1 m.

The cabinet width matches the SCM300AiW main monitor, creating an impressive full-range in-wall system when installed together. The SCS240iW Pro may also be used alongside ATC’s larger mid-field monitors — including the SCM150A Pro — or integrated into any system demanding a low cut-off frequency with high dynamic range.

Drive Unit Technology

The 12”/300 mm and 15”/375 mm drivers used in the SCS140iW Pro and SCS240iW Pro are built entirely in-house by ATC, reflecting the company’s commitment to designing and manufacturing products from component level without compromise. Both drivers feature a 30 mm magnetic gap, which is 50% longer than previous generation bass drivers. This extended gap reduces motor-generated distortion while enabling the high excursion required for accurate, dynamic low-frequency reproduction. Every element of the driver — from the motor to the suspension — has been meticulously optimised using advanced analysis tools to deliver deep, controlled bass from 120 Hz down to below 20 Hz, all with minimal distortion and maximum impact.

Amplifier Technology

Power for the new subwoofers is provided by dual R1-300 Pro remote-mounted 7U/19” amplifiers, each using 300 W Class A-B output stages. Their rack-mount format offers installation flexibility, allowing the amplifiers to be located within a nearby wall, a control-room rack, or a machine room. Amp connections are made using NL4 speaker cables and 5-pin XLR. The amplifiers offer balanced stereo inputs and full-range balanced outputs, with analogue 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley filters providing multiple crossover options including an industry-standard 80 Hz setting and a bypass mode for use with external processing. Polarity switching, variable phase adjustment and a stepped attenuator allow precise system alignment. The amplifiers also feature convenient mute control via footswitch, with daisy-chain capability for multiple subs.

Both subwoofers are available to order now.

SCS140iW Pro is available at a UK RRP (Recommended Retail Price) of £7700 + VAT including 2 x R1-300 Pro remote power amplifiers (excluding cables).

ATC Announces Availability of SCM105AC and SCM105AiWC Centre Channel Studio Monitors.

Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK: ATC are very pleased to introduce the SCM105AC Pro and SCM105AiWC Pro, two new high-performance centre channel studio monitors, precision-engineered for surround and immersive audio environments. Sharing engineering and technology with tried-and-tested ATC 3-way studio monitors, this performance is now available in a compact cabinet format, to deliver exceptional
clarity and resolution in the centre channel.

SCM105AC Pro

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

SCM105AiWC Pro

The SCM105 is offered in two configurations, with closely matched performance, both to each other and to existing production-proven ATC monitors.  The SCM105AC Pro is the free-standing / stand-mount solution, whilst the SCM105AiWC has been optimised for flush mounting in-wall via the following features:

  • Full-face square edge front baffle for seamless in-wall integration and improved acoustic performance.
  • Recessed rear-mounted input panel for reduced depth.
  • 19”/6U R1-350 Pro remote amp delivers reduced depth and flexible amp mounting options.
  • Amp-speaker connection via NL8 speaker cables & 5-pin XLR LED cables.
R1-350 Pro (remote amp)

The amp partnering the in-wall SCM105AiWC is the R1-350 Pro, a 19”/6U rack-mount version of the amp that drives the SCM105AC (and SCM50/100/110/150).  It can be mounted in a control room wall or in a 19” rack.  Balanced audio and power connect via front panel XLR and IEC connectors.  Connections to the loudspeaker are via rear panel-mounted NL8 and 5-pin XLR connectors for speaker-level audio and power/limit LEDs, respectively.  Cables are available in a range of lengths to suit the specific install.

The primary application of the SCM105AC and SCM105AiWC Pro studio monitors is as a centre channel in 5.1, 7.1 and immersive audio applications such as Dolby Atmos.  However, the performance is not application/channel specific, 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.

The two new centre channel monitors are ideally matched to the ATC SCM50/100/110/150 studio monitors via shared technology, components and performance. Now, via the new compact cabinet format the benefits can be realised in a wider number of control and mixing rooms, both in recording and audio post applications.

The SCM105AC Pro and SCM105AiWC Pro are available to order now. Contact ATC or your local ATC dealer or distributor for further information.

The recommended UK retail price for the SCM105AC Pro is: £7604+ VAT.

New SCS120 Pro & SCS120iW Pro: Powerful New Subwoofers for Studio Monitoring

Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK:  ATC is proud to unveil two new flagship 15″/375mm active subwoofers — the SCS120 Pro and SCS120iW Pro — designed to elevate professional monitoring systems to new levels. 

Engineered to support ATC’s larger mid-field and main monitors, these subs deliver exceptional low-frequency extension, expanded dynamic range, and seamless integration for stereo, surround, and immersive formats including Dolby Atmos. The SCS120 Pro has been designed for use free-standing, and the SCS120iW Pro includes features ideal for flush/in-wall mounting.

Building on the success of the 12” SCS70 Pro, but both models feature a new hand-built 15”/375mm sub-bass driver, developed and manufactured by ATC at their facility in Gloucestershire, England.  All driver components and parameters – from the drive system to the suspension – have been precisely optimised using the latest analysis tools available, at both small and large signal level.  The result is an advanced transducer that combines a powerful short-coil motor system featuring optimised airflow and cooling, with a carbon-paper composite cone, resulting in deep, clean bass from 120Hz down to below 20Hz — with minimal distortion and maximum impact. 

The SCS120 Pro subwoofers deliver an extended low-frequency response without complex electronic equalisation or processing, instead employing the more elegant combination of exceptional transducer engineering and a marginally larger cabinet volume.  Such simplicity reduces phase shift and group delay, aiding the integration of the sub with the partnering monitor loudspeakers.  Ultimately, it delivers a more balanced and coherent experience for the listener, combining an extending low-frequency response with outstanding clarity in the upper bass.

Both new subwoofers are powered by a 300W class AB amplifier, hand-built and optimised for fast, dynamic response. Versatile connectivity & control includes balanced stereo inputs, balanced (full-range) outputs, and analogue 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters with multiple crossover options — including an industry-standard 80Hz setting and bypass setting for external processing. A polarity switch, variable phase control, and stepped attenuator allow precise system tuning.  For added convenience, the amp features mute control via footswitch, with daisy-chain capability for linking multiple subs.

The SCS120iW Pro (In-Wall) variant offers all the above-mentioned performance but is optimised for flush in-wall mounting, featuring a shallower cabinet, and recessed rear input connector panel, maximising floor space. The accompanying R1-300 Pro remote-mounted 7U/19” amplifier offers the user the flexibility to install the amplifier in a suitable wall close to the subwoofer, in a control room rack, or in a machine room, with connections made via NL4 speaker and 5-pin XLR cables.

These two new subwoofers are the perfect match to the ATC SCM100/110/150A Pro studio monitors and scale effortlessly to larger systems featuring the SCM200/300A Pro main monitors. Multiple subs can be employed to elevate performance and to fill larger rooms.

Surround and Immersive Audio formats such as Dolby Atmos can be demanding of subwoofers, and these two new designs both offer significant performance gains over the smaller ATC SCS70 and the outgoing SCM0.1/15.

Thanks to employing advanced transducer and amplifier technology, the new SCS120 and SCS120iW Pro subs offer increased dynamic range and low frequency extension, strengthening the upper range of ATC’s Professional Product line.  They offer improved subwoofer solutions to users of mid-to-large format monitors and/or to those working in larger control rooms.  The increased dynamic range on offer is particularly useful in in immersive audio and post-production applications where low frequency effects (LFE) content places large demands on subwoofers.

The SCS120 Pro and SCS120iW Pro are available now. 

The recommended UK retail price for the SCS120 Pro is: £4575+ VAT.

The recommended UK retail price for the SCS120iW Pro is: £5408 + VAT (inc. R1-300 Pro remote amp, excluding cables).

NAMM SPECIAL: EXPERIENCE DOLBY ATMOS MUSIC WITH TRANSAUDIO & ATC

ATC_DolbyAtmos_NAMM2020

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – JANUARY 2020: TransAudio Group, U.S. distributor of ATC and a full line of high-end professional recording equipment, will show a Dolby Atmos Music playback system at Winter NAMM 2020 in Booth #14914.  This will be a smaller version of its wildly successful Summer NAMM 2019 Dolby Atmos Music demo held at Blackbird Studios, Nashville.  Dolby Atmos Music is a next-generation immersive audio experience that takes music far beyond traditional “surround” that includes 3-D spatial information to bring the listener into the music itself. TransAudio Group has supplied Dolby with ATC loudspeakers applied to Atmos for its San Francisco Market Street headquarters and other multi-channel Dolby executive listening rooms.  Now TransAudio will set up an all ATC monitor system at NAMM 2020 for visitors to experience Dolby Atmos Music for the first time. With support from Universal Music Group, Netflix, Amazon, and others, Atmos Music is poised to create a new standard in music playback for listeners around the world. The all ATC 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos Music system at Winter NAMM will also use a new, in-development product from Latch Lake Music, a free-standing, high speaker stand to support the eight to nine foot “height” speakers. This system is designed for Atmos Music playback, suitable for mixing, production, or a very high-end personal listening system.

In addition to the Dolby Atmos demo, TransAudio Group will also have a traditional stereo setup demonstrating ATC SCM25A and SCM45A monitors.

AirHush acoustic isolation panels will form the 350 square-foot demo room with nine-foot walls, and TransAudio Group will take groups of attendees in for a prepared demo experience. Three ATC SCM110ASL monitors will comprise the front LCR channels, four ATC SCM25A monitors will comprise the side/surround channels, and four ATC SCM12i monitors will comprise the overhead height channels. Two ATC SCM0.1/15SL 15-inch subwoofers will handle the LFE channel. One of the current challenges in a Dolby Atmos or other multichannel music production system is that the overhead height speakers need to be installed or mounted. To overcome this, TransAudio Group worked with Latch Lake to develop a prototype free-standing speaker stand for the overhead height channel SCM12i speakers.

“Very few people have had a chance to hear music specifically mixed for Dolby Atmos or other multi-channel immersive formats, much less at the high resolution we achieve with ATC monitors,” said Brad Lunde, founder and president of TransAudio Group. “We’re excited to provide this new and unique experience for visitors at NAMM, and we’re pleased that the setup will simultaneously demo AirHush sound isolation technology and portable, non-permanent ways of building multichannel systems using Latch Lake technology. Our ability to provide these smaller non-permanent systems will allow professionals and artists to work in Atmos and other formats much more easily than before.”

Demos at NAMM will be held on a first come, first serve basis.
