The ATC SCM12 is a compact, high-performance 2-way passive studio monitor featuring proprietary ATC drivers: a 150mm/6" Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) mid/bass driver and a 25mm/1" dual suspension soft dome tweeter. It is ideally suited for critical near-field listening applications, LCR surround monitoring in small-to-medium control rooms, and immersive audio surround channels (Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X). The monitor offers wide dispersion, low distortion, and a maximum continuous SPL of 108dB per pair at 1 meter. It has a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and is recommended to be driven by a 75 to 300 Watt power amplifier. The cabinet dimensions are 400 x 238 x 235 mm, and each cabinet weighs 11 kg. The SCM12 comes with a 6-year warranty.
