| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut I don't think any of us in the business have anything more important than helping anyone considering/owning/using ATC. I believe you cannot "sell" things, you have to "explain things" and people will make their own judgements. These ar... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut HI Todd- answers below. What size to go with may have more to do with the visual issue . 150s are big. TO be honest we sell more 50s and 100s for home use. THose are manageable in size. So I might look at those- the sound exactly like t... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT Pat Keogh was a US dealer with us for ATC in the NE. He’s inactive now but was a strong supporter for many years. Its not exactly true the 50s are more accurate, but it was the founder’s favorite model and over the years one of ATC’s best sellers.... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut 1) Yes they sound the same but there are differences in how a ASL monitor and ASLtower sound due to stands used on the ASL. If its sound anchors, the sound would be the same or better on the monitors. If its wooden stands, the towers wou... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @dadork If you want to hear Pink Floyd as they do, get some ATC active SCM50A, or the larger brother SCM100As or if you can fit them, the SCM150As. They own them, use them in studio since the mid 80s or so? SCM 50s used on the last few new for... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @curiousjim You really think it's bad? Curious why the band would have approved it if it was bad. Brad | |
| ATC buying advice @mijostyn Wow, you must not be reading my posts or not understanding what I wrote. The "room correction" I was referring to above (and most people consider room correction) is software inside a receiver or other piece of home gear that is a ... | |
| ATC buying advice @mijostyn I get you are trying to be progressive, looking at the wonderful opportunites DSP can offer for "room" correction-but it just isn’t the great pancea it is cracked up to be. It can help some users, usually those with room conditions tha... | |
| ATC buying advice @seadog137 ATC is not big on the idea of break in. They heavily QC the drive units and "run them in" at the factory. SO I dont think you’ll find any break in is necessary. In support of that, I have never in 20 years had a customer tell me a rep... | |
| ATC buying advice @mijostyn You are not looking at this right. Active has zero to do with digital or "digitization". Active can be analog or digital crossovers and all class D amps. Active is simply an electronic crossover (analog or digital) operated at line leve... | |
| ATC buying advice Jeff explains it well!. FOr clarification, the "SL" (super linear) LF driver is in the 50 on up, and the mid and tweeter of the 50 on up are much larger motors for higher SPL, wider dynamic range. The amps inside the active 50s on up are also m... | |
| ATC buying advice @soix Regarding tube preamps, I don't have any recommendations for I have not listened to nearly enough of them to make a judgement. I would say ATC active's reveal a lot about what is upstream so it better be a great tube pre! You will defin... | |
| ATC buying advice @n777 - With regard to the difference between pro and consumer models, there are some in consumer that do not exist in pro anc vice versa. SCM40 has no equalivalent in pro, as its a sealed low end cabinet. SCM19 has no equivalent in pro, it is "wa... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @elliottbnewcombjr : You are using the word Bi amp in such a way as to cconfuse us more. There is only one explanation for biamp. Bi-amp requires an external [line level] crossover BEFORE the amplifiers. The example above is a bi wire set up, ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? @unsound - You have a point there about active outboard crossovers, and there are very few available. Most active loudspeakers have a purpose built electronic crossover designed specifically for their speaker within their internal or external amps... |
