ATC SCM45A Pro | Reference-Grade Monitoring Without Compromise

When precision matters most, whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, the ATC SCM45A Pro offers a level of clarity, control, and translation that few monitors can match. Designed and hand-built in the UK, this fully analog, three-way active studio monitor delivers deep, controlled low-end, pristine high-frequency detail, and unrivaled midrange definition, all without the need for DSP. If you’re looking for a near to midfield monitor that combines surgical accuracy with inspiring musicality, this is it.

Key Features of the ATC SCM45A Pro

  • Three-way active monitor with dual 6.5” low-frequency drivers

  • ATC’s first in-house designed SH25-76S dual-suspension tweeter

  • Exceptional midrange clarity with the ability to hear reverb tails, mic positions, and vocal textures in fine detail

  • Volume-independent performance to preserve mix decisions at any listening level

  • Phase-coherent imaging for accurate stereo and depth perception

  • Extremely high SPL handling, suitable for nearfield or midfield use, even full band tracking in the control room

Why the SCM45A Pro Stands Out

Engineers around the world trust ATC’s analog approach, and the SCM45A Pro shows why. With no DSP coloration, it pairs seamlessly with room correction solutions like Sonarworks, Trinnov, or Dirac Live. Instead of combining layers of DSP, you get natural, unprocessed signal reproduction, perfect for hybrid setups that demand both accuracy and flexibility. Whether you’re sculpting a 3D mix or presenting final masters to a client, these monitors deliver a soundstage that feels immersive, honest, and musical.

Built for the Long Haul

These are monitors you can grow with, not grow out of. The SCM45A Pro’s robust build and all-analog signal path make it a reliable studio reference for years to come. From intimate acoustic arrangements to high-impact electronic mixes, this is a tool that both inspires and informs. If you’re ready to hear your work in a whole new dimension, the 45s are ready to deliver.

Inside Kingsize Soundlabs with Dave Trumfio

Dave Trumfio has been a fixture in professional recording for nearly four decades—from engineering Chicago house music and Midwest death metal in the late ’80s to producing OK Go, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, and countless indie records that defined the ’90s and 2000s. In our latest video conversation at Kingsize Soundlabs in Los Angeles, Dave shares his journey from Chicago’s burgeoning electronic and indie scenes to building one of LA’s most respected producer studios. Twenty-five years after opening Kingsize LA, Dave recently completed a major studio overhaul with Providence Sound & Vision—replacing his beloved Neve 8068 with an SSL Origin console, curating a “greatest hits” outboard rack, and rethinking what a commercial studio needs to survive in the modern era.

February 9, 2026

In our latest video conversation, mastering engineer Brian Lucey joins Providence Sound & Vision’s Brian Gross to discuss the Magic Garden Pro Evolution V.1 Studio Monitor Package: a three-year collaboration that challenges conventional thinking about what professional monitoring should deliver.

After 25 years in mastering, Brian Lucey has experienced a consistent pattern: engineers send mixes that don’t quite translate, then hear everything clearly once the master comes back. Brian posits that the issue isn’t skill or sensitivity, but the monitoring.

These are legends of audio equipment that you’ve heard countless times, but have faded into obscurity. However, they’re back in the hands of loving shepherds and have been revived for the modern recording studio.
