Given ATC’s history manufacturing active loudspeakers, a partnering preamplifier was a logical step and our first preamp, the SCA2 was released in 1996. The CA2 – a simpler design yet still offering exceptional performance – is derived from the ‘high-end’ SCA2 and maintains its exceptional performance, but with fewer features. It is equally adept at driving active loudspeakers as paired with one of ATCs power amplifiers and a wide range of inputs and outputs ensure outstanding compatibility with a very wide range of partnering equipment.
