ATC SCA2 Pre Amplifier - Silver

Since the Company’s inception in 1974, ATC’s reputation for the design and manufacture of unique high performance hi-fi and professional audio products has become legendary, with new design concepts evolving and being perfected continually.
Fast forward to 1996 and ATC can be found designing and developing its first stand-alone hi-fi electronic product. At that time few preamplifiers were capable of driving the long lengths of cable often necessary to link electronics to active loudspeakers. In its ongoing quest for ultimate performance and value ATC’s solution was to develop a preamplifier that could! The result was the SCA2 - a true hi-fi preamplifier offering unparalleled audio performance, transparency and current drive ability.
The SCA2 is ATC’s highest performance preamplifier and has been in continuous production since 1996, testament to its exceptional performance and timeless styling. It is the ideal partner to ATC’s high-end active loudspeakers and also power amplifiers, such as the ATC P2. Balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs provide flexible connectivity to a very wide range of partnering equipment. The optional phono stage is fully configurable for both gain, resistive and capacitive loading and its low-noise design makes it well suited to even the lowest output moving coil cartridges.
