ATC SCM7 Speaker

The SCM7 has a relatively low sensitivity of 84dB, meaning it requires a high-quality amplifier to perform at its best. While it is rated for 75 to 300 watts, prioritize an amplifier with strong current delivery and a clean, neutral sound profile to match the speaker's own characteristics.

Yes, their sealed enclosure design makes them an excellent choice for smaller spaces or near-field listening. Unlike ported speakers, which can become boomy when placed close to walls, the SCM7 offers tight, controlled bass that remains articulate even in compact environments.

Absolutely. The SCM7 is designed with the same precision and neutrality as ATC's professional studio monitors. Its flat impedance curve and high-resolution imaging make it a reliable tool for critical listening and mixing tasks.

The SCM7 features bi-wire binding posts, allowing you to separate the signal paths for the tweeter and the mid-bass driver. While bi-wiring can offer subtle improvements in clarity and separation, it is not strictly necessary; you can achieve excellent results with a high-quality single-wire connection using the provided links.

Because these speakers offer a coherent horizontal dispersion of 80 degrees, they are quite forgiving with placement. For the best imaging, try positioning them on sturdy stands at ear level, slightly toed-in toward your listening position to create a precise, focused soundstage.
