The ATC SCM7 is a compact, passive two-way sealed-box stand-mount loudspeaker. It uses a 25mm neodymium soft-dome tweeter and a 125mm mid/bass driver with an integral soft dome. The SCM7 has a 60Hz–22kHz frequency response (-6dB), 84dB sensitivity, a maximum SPL of 103dB, an 8-ohm nominal impedance, and a 2.5kHz crossover. It is specified for amplifiers rated from 75 to 300 watts and measures 300 × 174 × 215mm (H × W × D), with a listed weight of 7.5kg. The design supports bi-wiring and is available in several cabinet finishes, depending on market and production period.
