The SCM11 employs all the specialist ’soft dome’ technology found in the reference systems we build for the recording industry. It is this design feature among others that contribute to the wide bandwidth and exceptional dynamic range of this outstanding new loudspeaker.
The SCM 11 features ATC’s new “CLD” technology mid bass driver, with a 45mm integral soft dome. Constrained Layer Damping is a driver cone technology exclusive to ATC and represents a step-change in driver-to-system performance.
Advantages include reduced harmonic distortion between 300Hz and 3kHz when compared with conventional cone material; an extended frequency response that eases constraints on the crossover filter slope; and improved off-axis response.
Manufactured in house to exacting tolerances, ATC’s drivers are legendary for their many design innovations. For instance, ATC’s hand-wound short voice coils use only high density edge-wound flat OFC wire and operate in a precision long magnetic gap.
Front and rear magnetic venting not only reduces airflow and noise, but increases power handling and long term reliability. Meanwhile, massive motor assemblies offer no-compromise optimisation for each voice coil diameter.
The SCM 11 produces superb sound quality that goes way beyond what the specifications would have you believe, and you simply never get tired of listening to your music collection on these speakers. Smooth, accurate and dynamic, what else do you need?

About ATC :
ATC is a British company whose total preoccupation has been with quality. Since its inception in 1974, ATC has kept steadfastly to its founder’s (Billy Woodman) aims of building loudspeakers and audio electronics which employ the most effective of modern engineering principles. ATC doesn’t respond to competition, they respond to advances in technology that enable them to improve their product.
The goal is to make loudspeakers as near perfection in their performance as possible— meaning the lowest possible distortion. All ATC products are built completely in-house to provide nothing less than the best sound reproduction money can buy and to meet the challenge of the latest digital recording technology.
ATC has been designing and building loudspeakers of the highest possible specifications for over 25 years and accrued many of the highest awards and accolades from the international hi-fi press. Its user list ranges from the top Hollywood and UK studios in the professional arena through to the discerning home hi-fi customer.
A product base spanning small two-way bookshelf loudspeakers to massive home cinema multiway active systems with the full range of audiophile electronics on the way makes it the preferred choice for every home system where ultimate quality is the top priority.
Its philosophy of active loudspeakers (where the amplifiers are built into the speakers) made its expansion into home cinema especially attractive from the point of improved capability over passive loudspeakers, the convenience of fewer units and better value for money.
ATC now boasts a full armoury of highly accurate home cinema solutions designed to make the listener forget that a loudspeaker is between the source and the ear. The top range SCM70 system is packed with new and innovative technology and, of course, plenty of headroom. Other home cinema solutions exist for different budgets, and the company’s full gamut of conventional stereo systems is still considered among the best in the world for those who think the big screen is best kept in the cinema.
