De Test Setup
Contents
These are studio monitors, so we test the ATCs in the studio in Leiden where we have a wide range of connection options:
- Weiss DAC2
- EarMen ST-Amp
- Mutec MC3+ USB reclocker
- Universal Audio Apollo 8xp multichannel AD-DA converter
- Dangerous Music monitor controller ST
- Grimm TPR XLR cables
- Atacama monitor stand
We can compare them with the following monitors:
- PSI Audio Active 14M
- Quested 3110
- Tannoy SGM Gold
Hi Yung,
I have been following you guys for some time and I would just like to say, thank you for your work here and sharing your reviews and comparisons. You are just about the only group who actually compares like products in a systematic manner. As a former HiFi dealer, we used to take great care in not only comparing products in the evaluation for what to carry in the store but we went to great lengths to find proper combinations of components etc. It is a sad situation that this is just simply not done for the most part in the majority of the market. Publications, be it in print or on-line nor dealers take the time for the most part. So, thank you for that effort. It takes time and dedicated effort and it is very much appreciated.
I am curious how you would compare the ATC SCM 20A to that of the equivalent monitor in the PSI line? Also, in the ATC passive line up, how would you characterize the differences between the SCM 12 Pro and SCM 20 Pro?
Thanks, again….Best regards….John
ATC SCM 20A Pro. You wrote under Cons:
“Everything is audible
Poorly mixed tracks are mercilessly exposed”
Aren’t those the point for a Pro studio speaker?
