- In this video, I share my experience with the ATC SCM 45 studio monitors and how they have transformed my audio production workflow. From the early days of using Adam A7's to the challenges I faced with other monitors, I found solace in the SCM 45s. These three-way monitors offer a powerful and accurate sound reproduction, with no DSP and solid engineering. Join me as I discuss their reliability, the unique ATC ethos, and the correlation I discovered between what I hear in my studio and other playback systems. If you're looking for well-built, reliable studio monitors, the ATC SCM 45s are definitely worth considering.

My goal - ATC 45’s
Love the little behind the scene stuff Alec! Those ATCs look lovely indeed.
I had no idea you started on Adam A7s... I have been using A7s for the last 16 years and finally upgraded to the ATC SCM25a Mk IIs and I cannot believe how much better my mixes are coming out. I had a huge shootout with barefoots, Hedds, Focals and Genelecs.... and I also really loved the utter lack of DSP gimmicks, class D, and who knows where the drivers come from. ATC does it all just right.
Speakers - single most important piece of equipment. So important to get speakers that you can trust what you hear.
Ok so finally got a chance to see the exterior of the cabin. I always thought the cabin was in the woods somewhere in the Swiss Alps….But its in a warehouse thing? So cool . Love your videos. Keep on keeping on
...and thank you for the good reviews. It is also fun to hear an natural English speaker. I can understand everything :)
Great stuff Alec!! 👍
Just love your vids. Great stuff. Enjoy you day bro. Cheers
Great video nice to see you out of studio as well 👍
Hey Alec, ATC is the absolutely top brand of all monitors out there in my opinion... I have the ATC SCM 20 ASL and they are awesome: Very punchy, super real, super translation. Good for small rooms...They are so expensive but there is nothing better in the world - except bigger ATCs for sure. You should also test the Audeze LCD-X: The Headphone sounds a bit as you would hear a ATC Box directly on your ear. Because the LCD-X has no distortion and that is why ATC is so good: No distortion at the bass driver... You can hear a distortion free bass and that is the whole trick plus the very detailed mid tweater and the highs - also on the Audeze everything is there except in the high mids they are lacking! My further advice is to check out the rme adi-2-pro as a dac. The ADI-2-Pro is very neutral and has no distortion... You could maybe get one to check them out with your ATCs. I love my ATCs now a bit more with the ADI 2 pro! But: In the last two months I only heard music on the headphones: They are so damn good. It is unbelievable. Regarding your good acoustics you maybe not need a good headphone... but...I guess you want one... Ok. Bye!
Well done Alec, you really know your stuff😊
I also have the ATC SCM45a and for me, they're my favorites. Are they the only monitor that will get the job done? Definitely not. But am I super happy I bought them? Absolutely.
Great review!
Great vid Alec. ATC's are nice. I like Strauss too. I pretty much always need a sub just to make sure of that really low bottom.
I’m still in love with my 45s. I’ve got 25s in my other room and I’ve done great mixes on both but there’s something about the wide tall and deep sound field of the 45s that makes mixing easy (especially when paired with a sub).
my dream monitor
45 user here, still love them. Have had them for about 2 years now and I'd never swap them for another brands speaker in the same price range, I'll keep them until I can afford a 20-30k plus pair, probably ATC too.
I am on Genelec Monitors, but I have definitely heard about these and will pick up as another main pair at some point
I went from Focal SM9s which are ”good” speakers to the Scm25. Sm9s do deliver more sub and a more ”impressing” sound in one aspect. But translation is everything. Once I got the ATCs i saw fewer revisions and now after more than 2 years on them I rarely have to tweak stuff from a technical point of view. More taste stuff. A BG up or a guitar down.
I use the Atcs and honestly for a while i was disappointed. The bass extention wasn't enough to be full without a sub. But after a while of getting used to them i realized they translate the best for mixing. Im still going tot get a sub but if your doing primary music production i wouldn't get these. They are not exciting at the top or bottom but they really do give you the honest truth in what matters for mixing
