Angeboten wird „SCM 40“ von ATC als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4209283684 endet am 06.10.2026 um 14:20 Uhr.
At €4,200, this sits above the €3,769 median and just below the €4,507 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious but still within the normal used range rather than out of line. Against the current new price, that can still make sense if the pair is genuinely clean and complete, but it is not a standout bargain on the raw numbers alone.
The reason to buy is that this is a genuinely respected speaker: the SCM40 is known for doing scale, timing, and midrange realism with real composure, especially if you value natural vocals and a punchy, studio-leaning presentation. In good condition, it is the kind of speaker that can anchor a serious system for years, so the real upside is buying into a proven design rather than chasing a lower-tier bargain. If the drives, cabinets, and grilles are all tidy, this is a solid listen-first purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
ATC (Acoustic Transducer Company), a British engineering powerhouse, was founded in 1974 by innovative loudspeaker designer Billy Woodman. Initially focused on crafting custom drive units for the professional audio sector, the company quickly gained acclaim with its 12-inch PA75-314 driver, renowned for superior power handling and minimal distortion at high sound pressure levels. In 1976, ATC introduced the groundbreaking SM75-150 soft dome midrange driver, revolutionizing dispersion, bandwidth, and clarity in studio monitors.
The brand specializes in high-precision loudspeakers, designing and manufacturing its own drivers—including tweeters, midrange, and bass units—in-house for both professional and home applications. Its SCM series offers a spectrum from compact models like the SCM7 to larger formats, available in active and passive configurations. ATC also produces standalone electronics, such as preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amps like the SIA2-150, all built to uncompromising standards of accuracy and reliability.
ATC commands a elite position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by recording studios worldwide for its transparent, detail-revealing monitors and by discerning audiophiles for domestic speakers that deliver reference-grade performance. A professional ethos, advanced materials, and innovations like the Super Linear Driver—slashing distortion in the vocal range—cement its status as a boutique leader, where precision engineering trumps mass production.
