In a multi-channel audio-visual system, the center speaker is responsible for over 70% of movie dialogue and front sound effects. The C1C inherits ATC's studio-grade monitoring heritage, designed for audio-visual enthusiasts who pursue the ultimate in realistic human voice.

The C1C adopts a precise three-driver design:

• Tweeter: Equipped with ATC's exclusive 25mm neodymium soft dome tweeter, it provides smooth, delicate, and extended high-frequency performance.

• Mid-bass driver: Features two 125mm (5-inch) patented mid-bass drivers. Although compact, its sealed cabinet design combined with a powerful magnetic structure delivers explosive, solid, and clean bass.

Core Features

• Extremely Realistic Human Voice Dialogue: Thanks to ATC's legendary mid-range tuning technology, the C1C boasts extremely high sound density. Whether it's the deep male narration in a movie, the subtle breathing of actors, or intense gunfire dialogue, it can reproduce them without coloration, preserving the original sound and making listeners feel as if they are in the movie scene.

• Perfect Multi-channel Matching: The C1C's acoustic design specifically emphasizes tonal consistency with other series from the same brand (such as the classic SCM / HTS 7 or SCM / HTS 11). When combined to form a multi-channel system, they exhibit seamless soundstage coherence and dynamic envelopment.

For enthusiasts who want to enjoy authentic British monitoring style in their living room and refuse to compromise on the clarity of movie dialogue, the hand-built ATC C1C is the top choice for building a high-quality home theater!
