ATC C4 Sub Mk2 Subwoofer

Description

C4 Sub Mk2

The C4 Sub Mk2 by ATC delivers an extended low-frequency response without employing electronic equalisation, quite unlike many subwoofers available today.

Instead, the more elegant combination of exceptional transducer engineering and a marginally larger cabinet volume is used. The simplicity of this approach reduces phase shift and group delay, aiding the integration of the sub with the partnering monitor loudspeakers.

Ultimately, it delivers a more balanced and coherent experience for the listener, extending the low-frequency response without masking details or changing the tonal character in the upper bass / lower mid-range.

Drawing on 34 years of experience in amplifier design and development, ATC’s electronic engineering team have delivered an all-new amplifier for the new subwoofer. The 300W class AB design is hand-built by A TC at their UK facility and precisely optimised to the requirements of the drive unit, resulting in fast, dynamic bass with minimal colouration.

Two balanced inputs provide connectivity suited to both stereo and AV/home cinema systems plus two balanced outputs provide connections to partnering loudspeakers or to ‘daisy-chain’ multiple subs. Low-pass filters are analogue, 4th order Linkwitz-Riley and filter frequency options ensure optimal integration with a wide range of studio monitors.

An industry-standard 80 Hz low-pass plus an off option (for use with external processing) are also provided. A polarity switch plus a continuously variable 180° phase adjustment allows further optimisation of the subwoofer crossover, and a stepped attenuator with a 21 dB range provides precise level matching.
