About ATC (Acoustic Transducer Company)

ATC (Acoustic Transducer Company) is a specialist British manufacturer founded in 1974 by Billy Woodman, initially producing custom drive units for the professional audio industry. The company quickly gained a reputation for innovation and high performance, notably with the introduction of the SM 75-150s soft dome midrange driver in 1976—still considered a benchmark in both professional and domestic applications. ATC later expanded into complete loudspeaker systems and active designs, supplying world-renowned studios such as Abbey Road and Skywalker Sound. Their products, hand-built in the UK, are lauded for natural sound, accuracy, and engineering excellence—making ATC a respected name in both the pro audio and hi-fi markets.
