Greater scale, the same ATC truth
ATC SCM11 Product Overview
The ATC SCM11 builds on the foundation of the SCM7, offering greater scale and presence while remaining faithful to the engineering principles of ATC.
Designed and built in the UK, the SCM11 is intended for listeners who appreciate ATC’s accuracy and want more room-filling capability without moving to larger cabinets or floorstanding loudspeakers.
At Authentic High End, we position the SCM11 as a natural step up within the ATC Entry Series: still compact, but clearly more authoritative.
Design Intent
The SCM11 follows ATC’s core design objective:
to reproduce music accurately, consistently and without embellishment.
Compared to smaller models, the SCM11 is designed to:
deliver greater dynamic ease
move more air with less strain
maintain clarity at higher listening levels
It does this without changing ATC’s tonal intent or adding artificial warmth.
Engineering & Construction
Passive two-way loudspeaker
ATC-designed and manufactured drive units
Rigid cabinet construction
Designed and built in the UK
ATC’s in-house control over drive unit design ensures consistency, reliability and long-term performance.
Listening Character
The ATC SCM11 is characterised by:
It remains composed at realistic listening levels and reveals differences in recordings and upstream electronics.
Room Size & Placement
The SCM11 is well suited to:
Its size allows it to integrate easily into domestic spaces while offering noticeably greater presence.
System Matching
As a passive loudspeaker, the SCM11 requires external amplification.
ATC recommends:
high-quality, stable amplification
good current delivery rather than excessive power ratings
neutral electronics that preserve timing and control
The SCM11 rewards careful system matching and benefits from amplification with strong grip and linear behaviour.
Position Within the ATC Entry Series
Within the Entry Series, the SCM11:
It is often chosen by listeners who want one loudspeaker to live with long-term, without feeling constrained by size.
Who Is the ATC SCM11 For?
The SCM11 is ideal for listeners who:
value accuracy and control
listen at realistic levels but want added presence
have small to medium-sized rooms
prefer a compact stand-mount design with serious performance
It represents a balanced point between compactness and musical authority.
