The SCM20SLT 'Tower' is ATC's flagship 2-way floor-standing loudspeaker. It is ideal for modestly sized rooms where performance cannot be compromised and has been in continuous production since 1996.
Its sealed cabinet design ensures precise timing and excellent low frequency output below the cut-off. The combination of ATC mid/bass and soft-dome tweeter delivers mid-range & high frequency of exceptional clarity and the driver component's shared design philosophy ensures the parts work seamlessly together.
The loudspeaker is available in both PASSIVE and ACTIVE versions.
Both versions employ ATC's renowned drive units which are painstakingly designed and manufactured by ATC in the UK.
Featured speaker above is finished in rosewood veneer, other finish options shown below.
The active SCM20ASLT features an on-board 250W Amp Pack. Simply pair with a suitable pre-amplifier, DAC/pre or streaming-pre-amp for stunning results.
The active SCM20ASLT replaces the passive crossover and the driving amplifier of a 'conventional' system with a precisely matched 'Amp Pack', mounted to the rear of the loudspeaker cabinet. The electronic system consists of a balanced input feeding a 2nd order active electronic crossover which, in turn, feeds a pair of class A/B power amplifiers, carefully tailored to the exact requirements of the mid/bass and high-frequency drive units.
The active crossovers deliver greater precision in both level and timing and the two power amplifiers directly coupled to the drive units result in an improvement in control and dynamic range vs a passive system.
The cabinet is constructed to be heavy and inert with a combination of bracing for stiffness and damping to supress resonance. Bitumastic damping panels are deployed at critical positions to minimise cabinet colouration. It is available in a wide range of finishes.
The SCM20ASLT is also available as a stand-mount 'classic' model, in the form of the SCM20ASL. The performance of the floor-standing and stand-mount versions is identical and the choice of which to use comes down to your visual preference.

The SCM20PSLT represents ATCs highest performing 2-way, floor-standing, passive loudspeaker. The model has been in continuous production since 1996 and has evolved through three driver/crossover revisions into its current form. Music and audio afficionados worldwide enjoy its special combination of clarity, balance, mid-range detail in combination with classic styling.
It's 2-way crossover network is hand-made by ATC using very high-quality film capacitors and ATC's own air-cored inductors, employed for their lack of hysteresis and lower distortion. Input to the crossover is made via heavy duty bi-wire terminals.
The loudspeaker is ideally paired with ATC pre/power/integrated amplifiers. However, their neutral fidelity, outstanding resolution and modest load impedance also ensures excellent compatibility with a very wide range of quality electronics.
The cabinet is constructed to be heavy and inert with a combination of bracing for stiffness and damping to supress resonance. Bitumastic damping panels are deployed at critical positions to minimise cabinet colouration. It is available in a wide range of finishes.
The SCM20PSLT is also available as a stand-mount 'classic' model, in the form of the SCM20PSL. The performance of the floor-standing and stand-mount versions is identical and the choice of which to use comes down to your visual preference.
