Got a gtreat amp already? Introducing the new ATC passive SCM20SL loudspeakers. This offering represents ATC's first venture into the U.S. pro market with a passive monitor. Maintaining the strict performance criteria of ATC reference monitors, the SCM 20SL offers project and home studios the dynamic range and pristine imaging ATC is known for worldwide. Designed to fit within the company's highly-regarded line of speakers, the ATC "Passive 20" features the same woofer and tweeter as the active (SCM20ASL) version of the speaker. The SCM20SL passives are housed in a conventional "pro-black" box for easy placement on any meter bridge. ATC recommends amplifiers with at least 200W per channel of power. The Passive 20 loudspeaker enables ATC speaker fans to own a high performance monitor at half the price of the actives. The SCM20SL Passive low-frequency section is a hybrid design incorporating a 150mm bass cone with a grafted 75mm soft dome for mid-range assist. The woofer magnet assembly utilizes ATC's unique "SL" technology to greatly reduce third harmonic distortion and reveal mistakes and details. All ATC drivers are manufactured in-house to exacting tolerances and are legendary for their many design innovations. Specifications: <UL> <LI>Max Continuous SPL: 108dB <LI>Crossover: 2.8kHz/ Internal, 2nd order, <LI>passive <LI>Woofer: ATC 6.5"SL <LI>Tweeter: 1" dome <LI>H/W/D in inches: 17.3/9.9/11.9 <LI>Weight: 44lbs ea. <LI>Shipping Weight: 50lbs ea <LI>Cabinet: Wood, Black Ash</LI></UL>

It didn’t take long to realize we had a hit on our hands. Just a few
short months after its introduction, the Alesis Monitor One Studio
Reference Monitor was a winner of the prestigious TEC Award, and on its
way to becoming one of the most popular near field speakers on the
market. The reason was as clear as its own crisp flawless sound,
super-flat wide frequency range, clear imaging, high-power handling and
excellent bass transient response. These features add up to a unique
ability to create incredibly accurate mixes that translate perfectly to
every playback system. Monitor One became an instant favorite
among professional engineers and studio owners, as well as earning it a
place in countless home studios. Obviously, there was only one thing left to do. Make it even better. Better design, for improved performance. With
such a successful platform to build on, Alesis’ engineers wisely
settled for incremental improvements designed to coax even better
performance from our monitors. They started with a new 6.5”
polypropylene low-frequency driver for tighter, more accurate bass
response. Then matched it with a newly redesigned, 1” pure silk-dome,
high-frequency transducer for even smoother, more accurate detail and
response, and a broader sound stage. They improved the overall
frequency response (changing from 45 Hz – 18 kHz, to 45 Hz – 20 kHz +/-
3 dB) and coupled it with more efficient power handling. They also
provided magnetic shielding to allow use in close proximity to video
and computer monitors. Surface improvements that go more than skin deep. Perfectionists
that they are, however, our engineers didn’t just settle for tinkering
under the hood. The cabinet was redesigned for a new and more
attractive professional finish, and are now mirror image; left/right
pair for symmetrical speaker placement. But more than just
cosmetic improvements, the new Monitor One also features radiused edges
for reduced edge diffraction, along with improved porting – thanks to
the next–generation of our exclusive SuperPort venting technology – to
eliminate the “choking” effect of smaller, shorter ports. The result is
a low-frequency response which extends well below comparable near field
monitors. It all adds up to a spectacular next-generation of a
popular standard - the new state-of-the-art in affordable, high-quality
studio monitors. The Alesis Monitor One MKII Features: <div style="visibility: visible; z-index: 49;" id="info2">
<div class="infopadding"><ul><li>Critical reference monitoring for recording and mixing</li><li>Excellent bass transient response</li><li>Flat frequency response for accurate mixes that translate to other playback systems</li><li>High power handling, high output</li></ul></div>

The Avantone MixCubes are shielded, full-range studio mini-reference monitors. The MixCubes design is inspired by the legacy of the 5C Sound Cubes used in virtually all-major studios for the last 25 years. Studios primarily use 2-way & 3-way larger monitors designed to represent a wide range reference viewpoint at higher listening levels. However, in this newly developing age of High Definition Audio, there is still a need to also hear what your mix will sound like when played back over small “bass-challenged” systems such as televisions, clock radios, computers, car stereos, ipod docking stations, etc. It is important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range vocal/guitar/keyboard areas. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. Ten months of R&D comparative listening & tweaking went into the voicing of the AVANTONE MixCubes. The result is a very smooth sounding, full range upgrade from the original 5C Sound Cubes. Listening tests reveal that the MixCubes have a smooth, more open, transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining their basic original character. Specifications <ul><li>System Type: Dynamic Shielded Full-Range Pair</li><li>Frequency Response: 90Hz - 17,000Hz (useful musical range)</li><li>Impedance: Nominal 8 ohms</li><li>SPL / Sensitivity: 93dB @ 1w / 1 meter</li><li>Recommended Power: From 10-200 watts</li><li>Driver: 5.25" cast aluminum frame</li><li>Cabinet: Sealed / 18mm MDF / Dacron acoustical stuffing</li><li>Inputs: 3-way CE rated plastic encased metal binding posts (accepts up to 12-gauge wire, spade lugs, dual banana plugs)</li><li>Weight: 6 lbs 11 oz (per speaker)</li><li>Dimensions: 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" in</li></ul>

As the result of a long-term research project, analyzing the essential requirements of engineers working for long periods of time at high levels in front of a mixing console, the M1 is targeted first and foremost, at music mixing applications. The Dynaudio M1 is a quality reference tool which can transform almost any large console monitoring environment into one worthy of the digital era. Frequency response is 50Hz to 20Hz, and long terms SPLs of 122dB can be achieved at 1.25m. When coupled with one or two Dynaudio Acoustics subwoofers, the M1 is transformed into a full blooded main monitoring system which is flat from 35Hz to 20Hz, and is capable of delivering very high SPLs in mixing position. Specifically designed for mounting on or above the meter bridge on the console, the trapezoidal M1 has a frequency response tailored to compensate for the interference effects in the low and mid frequency regions caused by the console surface. It is the very first monitor to even approach a flat response in this complex and specific application, and provides dramatic improvements to the engineering environment in virtually any kind of control room. Due to an excellent phase response, the stereo field is of a clarity and precision absolutely essential to accurate mixing, and the M1 can comfortably generate the kind of levels and frequency response normally associated with much larger systems. The M1 is a "High Energy" monitor, and every component has been designed for both quality of reproduction and extreme reliability. Each driver can comfortably handle 1000W transient with no degradation of signal or components, leading to an outstanding dynamic response when coupled with suitable amplifier. Distortion products are typically 15dB lower than so called reference monitors in current use - ensuring that the soundfield is highly accurate, and that "ear fatigue" is virtually eliminated. M1 Console Top Monitor- Two way passive console top monitor with two 6" bass units with 3" voice coils - 1" softdome tweeter. Recommended. amp 250W to 500W. Dimensions 8.3" x 17.7" x 12.2", Weight 31 lbs.

3 way midfield, with a wide range of applicationsStereo imaging is pinpoint accurate thanks to the computer optimised designs of the crossover and drivers, and the M2 is capable of SPLs of up to 125dB at 1.25m as a stand alone system. When combined with a pair of Dynaudio Acoustics subwoofers, the system becomes a full 4 way main monitoring system capable of very high SPLs with a full frequency response down to below 35Hz. Main Features: The original design concept for the M2 was a compact near-to-midfield monitor, which would remove the need for larger built-in systems with their inherent problems of accuracy, installation and cost. Every component of the M2 has been designed for both quality of reproduction and extreme reliability, and each driver can comfortably handle very high transients with no degradation of signal or components, leading to an outstanding dynamic response when coupled with a suitable amplifier with good current capabilities. The result is a system which, in its various configurations, is the most flexible monitor package ever designed. By combining M2 with Dynaudio Acoustics subwoofer systems, it is possible to use one basic package for anything from desktop to main monitoring. The M2 is essentially flat from 45Hz to 20Hz, and the specially designed bass, mid range and high frequency drivers are capable of reproducing impulsive transients of up to 1000W each without compression.
