ATC Loudspeakers studio monitors

ATC Loudspeakers is a British manufactory that produces high-end speakers and amplifiers for recording studios, which was founded in 1974 by Billy Woodman. The phenomenal engineer focused on producing custom drive units for the professional sound market. ATC quickly distinguished itself in the market, largely due to its PA75-314 12 driver, which was capable of handling more power with less distortion and at a higher sound pressure level than any other unit on the market.

ATC developing its technology began over time to produce professional studio monitors, whose sound quality and precision impress sound engineers around the world. Professional studio monitors ATC Loudspeakers have been working for years in recording studios, radio, television and post-production giving users a truly surgical sound when mixing.

ATC customized studio monitors for studio, broadcast, post-production and Dolby Atmos production.

Studio listening in both active and passive versions by ATC. Such speakers work in the best studios around the world. Recording studios such as Abbey Road, East West Studios, Barefoot Recording, Sony SADC or Black Bird Studios (full list of users HERE) have been using ATC listening monitors in their sound directors for years. Sound precision and incredibly fast speaker response at low frequencies are the main advantages of ATC listening monitors.

ATC studio loudspeakers have found their way into some of the world's most demanding studios and music studios. Recording studios as well as radio and television studios choose the ATC (Acoustic Engineers) brand to make the sound produced fully reliable.

ATC studio monitor technology.

After many years of developing technology to produce perfect loudspeakers, ATC is proud to introduce its top models driven by powerful amplifier units. The best-in-class SH25-76 and SH25-76S loudspeakers are a product that incorporates more than 40 years of experience in building the world's best acoustic drivers.

Dual-suspension tweeter.

ATC's approach to tweeter design is unique.ATC Loudspeakers studio monitors are a no-compromise design. The design of the secondary suspension element naturally limits movement only in the axial direction. This design suppresses sway modes and ensures lower levels of distortion. The added stability provided by such a design compared to speakers from other companies eliminates the need for ferro-fluids (normally required for cooling, damping, etc.). As a result, ATC tweeters not only provide optimal performance for longer periods of time, but also better power handling compared to other designs.

Dolby Atmos surround sound in studio production.

Professional work with multichannel audio requires precision.

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that provides a more realistic and immersive sound experience in movies, TV shows, music, computer games and other forms of entertainment.

Traditional surround sound systems use a fixed number of audio channels, usually 5.1 or 7.1, to create a sense of directionality and spatiality in sound. Dolby Atmos, on the other hand, allows sound designers to place sounds in a three-dimensional space that can be played in a wide range of speaker configurations, from a basic 5.1 system to a full set of 64 speakers.

Dolby Atmos works by creating audio objects, which are individual sound sources that can be placed and moved around in 3D audio space. The audio objects are combined with tracks, which are a set of mono or stereo tracks that provide sounds and background music, to create a final mix that can be rendered for different playback systems.

To create Dolby Atmos content, sound engineers use specialized software and hardware to create a multi-channel mix and ATC studio listening systems in 5.1, 4.04, 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.4 formats for precision and full control of audio tracks. The mix is then encoded in Dolby Atmos format for playback on compatible consumer systems or headphones.

Dolby Atmos audio production requires skill and specialized listening equipment and processor. Multi-channel audio formats are becoming increasingly popular in the entertainment industry. Audio albums, many blockbuster movies and TV shows are now produced with Dolby Atmos technology, providing viewers with a more realistic sound experience.

ATC studio monitors feature a wide range of models and mounting options. Loudspeakers can be supplied in standard (active), passive versions with amplifiers prepared for external mounting or in installation (for suspension / special mounting) and In Wall (for wall mounting) versions.

Such a wide selection of professional studio monitors ensures flexible selection of speakers for a given, even very demanding room.
The following table of ATC studio monitor models illustrates the appropriate selection when planning a multi-channel system:

This is how the world's best studio monitors are made.
