The ATC SCM19 v2 is a two-way passive bookshelf speaker designed for audiophiles seeking faithful-to-source transparency and reference-level coherence. It features an ATC-designed 25mm neodymium soft dome tweeter with a precision alloy wave guide and a 150mm mid/bass driver with 'Super Linear' (SL) technology and an integral soft dome. The speaker cabinet is sealed with curved sides to reduce standing waves and optimize bass articulation. It offers a frequency response of 54Hz to 22kHz, a sensitivity of 85dB at 1W/1m, and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, making it compatible with amplifiers rated between 75 and 300 watts. The SCM19 v2 is praised for its low distortion, excellent phase coherence, and dynamic linearity, producing a taut, tuneful bass and hyper-realistic midrange detail. It is bi-wire capable and comes with a six-year warranty. Available finishes include Black Ash, Cherry, Satin White, and Satin Black.
