TransAudio Group has announced the immediate availability of ATC's most reasonably-priced reference monitor — the SCM11 two-way passive speaker. The newest studio monitor in the ATC lineup is the passive version of the SCM16A.

The speakers feature an innovation called Constrained Layer Damping (CLD): two lightweight driver cones sandwich a constrained damping layer. CLD is dramatically more efficient than conventional damping because of the way it shears when the cone flexes. The shearing causes unwanted vibration energy to dissipate as frictional heat, instead of as acoustic distortion. Thus, ATC's CLD design reduces harmonic distortion between 300Hz - 3kHz, creates an extended resonance-free axial frequency response, improves the off-axis frequency response, and, if all that weren't enough, causes a huge increase in loudspeaker power response. As a consequence, the ATC SCM11 is a better sounding loudspeaker that requires much less power to generate a given SPL.
