Offered is „SCM 40“ by ATC as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 261165357 ends on 06.12.2026 at 15:35 o'clock.
This is a strong deal. At EUR 2,800, the SCM40 sits well below the supplied EUR 3,509 25th-percentile figure and is roughly EUR 1,400 under the EUR 4,218 median for recent comparable listings. Assuming the pair is complete and genuinely in good condition, that is bargain territory rather than merely a fair ask.
The SCM40 earns its reputation through ATC’s superb 75 mm soft-dome midrange: vocals, acoustic instruments and timing are exceptionally clear, while the sealed cabinet gives the bass a tight, well-controlled character. It is a revealing, dynamic three-way rather than a warm, easygoing speaker, and its modest 85 dB sensitivity rewards a capable amplifier. At this price, the combination of build quality, natural midband and controlled presentation makes it a particularly attractive used buy.
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.
