ATC SCM25 Pro Mk2 Studio Monitor
ATC has announced the SCM25 Pro Mk2 studio monitor , an upgraded version of the company ’ s SCM25A Pro that includes a new hand-built SH25-765 dual-suspension , high-frequency tweeter . The SH25-76S highfrequency driver employs both an upper and lower suspension to better support and control the coil and dome motion . This is designed to provide a narrower magnetic gap , resulting in higher magnetic flux which , in turn , extends the high frequency response and reduces third harmonic distortion . The sound of the Mk2 is very similar to the original , but with improved high-frequency performance due to lower distortion compared the original .
The mid-band is still handled by the ATC-built , three-inch ( 75 mm ) soft-dome mid-range . Supporting the mid- and high-frequency elements is a 6.5-inch ( 164 mm ) proprietary bass driver with a carbon loaded paper cone . The driver motor employs a short coil , operating in a long magnetic gap , helping to minimize distortion generated by drive force modulation . The tri-amplified class AB MOSFET amp pack is stated to provide 235 watts of clean power and with low levels of noise . Drive unit integration is handled by three-way Linkwitz-Riley filter network , with the addition of two all-pass stages to optimize phase response through the crossover regions .
