Thanks scalero for the photos. Do you happen to have one of the back of the front baffle? Just curious...

but I found one of the SCM 20SL.

Hello!
Which is the original tweeter in ATC Speakers? (Model Nr?)
Are the different frot type to type?

The SCM50/ SCM100 used the old model Vifa Ferrofluid-cooled Soft dome 25mm (one inch) tweeter, which i presume made to order per ATC specification, unkown type/ model - probably similar to D25-TG-05-07. That was before 1997/8??.
The newer model, especially SCM50 SL PT / SCM100 SL PT 3-way passive monitor floor standing system uses Seas Excel either T25C-003 (E036) or T25FC-001 (E006) and for sure not a Millenium T25C-002 (E011).
See below information that I recently found ATC catalog/ brochure on Japaneese

I am pretty sure for this. See the picture of the tweeter.

While the SCM50SL AT active version uses neodynium tweeter. I am thinking about custom made to order tweeter, similar to an Excel Millenium T25C-002 (E011), or probably either T25C-003 (E036) or T25FC-001 (E006) but using neodynium magnets rather than ferrite.

TwangBar and scalero, thanks for posting the photo.
On scalero SCM100 photo, it looks like having very simple internal bracing. Is it the old model speaker?

My guess regarding the Seas tweeter is that they use the T25CF002 which has the neodymium magnet system, but use the faceplate of the T25C003/001.
Nice build! Couple questions for you. On the tweeter and mid ATC is using a sort of T pad layout for padding. Anyone know why they use this over something more conventional like an L pad layout?
Also is the top of the mid dome flush with the baffle or is it recessed pretty deep? What is the curvature of the roundover for the mid? Looks like maybe 1 1/4"? Also do you have any close up pics of the dome so I can see how the dome and roundover are in relation? Also do you have response measurements of this driver? Reason I ask all this is I'm using a new 3" mid from Tangband that I need rearmount in a waveguide similar to the ATC but I'm unsure of the dimensions. Here is a pic:
It's an underhung motor with shorting rings and a coated fabric dome. I'm sure they took more than a little "inspiration" from ATC. 3rd party measurements show a fairly flat response but with a dip centered around 2khz that goes away off axis. Non linear distortion is extremely low, particularly high order and IMD. I'm going to match this with the Seas T25CF001 and Peerless 830884, although an AE 10" like the TD10H or TD10X is tempting but out of my budget.
Thanks for any info you can give.

T-Pad is used between bandpass filter and EQ + Zobel circuit in order to control signal levels where constant impedance between input and output must be maintained.
@tamariska
thank you for the information!
@augerpro
There is a "mini" WG Baffle delivered with the ATC. With this part you can put the driver on the back and the dome doesn't touch the gorund.
But you can remove it - carefully!!
I use the ATC in a selfmade Waveguide.
But I'm also interested in the Tangband 3" Dome, but I've never seen measurements before. So I'll be happy to see some, if you have.
best regards
P.S. i hope this was the question... my english is poor

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thanks for the pics. looks like the waveguide profile is about 1 1/4" or so. With the factory waveguide how much clearance do you think there is between the tip of the dome and the top of the waveguide/baffle face? In other words how deeply recessed is the dome?
Here are some measurements: http://www.audioheuristics.org/measurements/Testing/TB75/TB75.htm
The overall response contour is nearly the same as teh ATC, with the dip at 2khz being a bit deeper.

With my ATC mid, I used to have the straight waveguide (non-curved) cone. I then purchased the curved one like the above photo shows. This newer waveguide is supposed to improve the impulse response.

Not 100% sure, but I think there are about 5mm space between.
My secod pair of the domes I've lend a geman DIY online magazine for measurements.
But the test is only for members.

I rember a picture of a cut model of the dome. But I didn't found it now.
And thankls for measurements!

@schauki. Hi.
Wondering if you or anybody have such experience with the Solen Front Mount Kit and Front Plate for SM75 ? What is the difference of them? They are expensive huh at $127 each.
