We’ve all been there. You labor over your latest sonic creation, and when you play it elsewhere, it doesn’t sound right. Maybe there’s too much bass or a harsh high end. You say, “What happened?” You, friend, have become another victim of inaccurate monitors.

Few studio tools are more important than your monitors. What makes a great studio monitor? Simply put: accuracy, transparency, and flat response. You must be able to hear what’s good and not so good about your work. DJs and recording engineers alike need to be able to trust their monitors. They have to know what they hear on their studio monitors will translate well when their work plays back on a variety of audio mediums. This is precisely why you should strongly consider Stanton’s new ATM.6 Active Monitor.

Designed with the DJ in mind
Ideal for both remixing and production, Stanton’s ATM.6 Active Monitor is a 2-way design that combines state-of-the-art technology with the features DJs need. The ATM.6 utilizes a 1-inch Neodymium, Ferro fluid cooled, soft dome tweeter for the high frequencies (HF), coupled with a 6-inch, glass aramid composite woofer for the low frequencies (LF). Why is this important?
Neodymium is found in many of the finest monitor systems because it’s a robust material that yields extended HF response, while the Ferro fluid helps cool the voicecoil and reduce unwanted vibration. Similarly, the glass aramid compound found in the LF driver helps deliver a tight, defined low-end response. Combined, the ATM.6’s transducer complement delivers crystal clear sound reproduction with a flat, smooth frequency response free from distortion or sonic coloration.
Equally important is the ATM.6’s enclosure. The ATM.6 is made from high quality medium density fiberboard (MDF), a material known to reduce resonance and improve imaging. Further, the slotted port along the bottom of the enclosure helps reduce the port turbulence and distortion commonly found in poorly designed round ports.

An optimized power source
Another huge benefit of the ATM.6 is the fact that it is an active monitor—meaning it contains its own power amplifier. One of the biggest challenges to obtaining accurate sound reproduction is mating the studio monitor with a suitable amplifier. With the ATM.6, Stanton’s engineers have designed a bi-amplified power source that is optimized for the transducers. Delivering a continuous 18 watts for the HF and 50 watts for the LF, the ATM.6 Active Monitor combines the best of both words—an exceptional transducer complement powered by the ideal amplifier.

All the right stuff
Featuring balanced XLR and TRS inputs plus RCA unbalanced connectors, the ATM.6 Active Monitor guarantees connectivity with any DJ mixer. There’s also a HF Level Adjust control for fine tuning the monitor’s sound in your studio environment, along with a volume control and, of course, a power on/off switch.
With great features, exceptional sound quality, and a striking visual design that’s right at home in any music space, Stanton’s ATM.6 is the studio upgrade you’ve been searching for. The new ATM.6 Active Monitor. It’s time to hear what you’ve been missing.
