3-WAY ISOBARIC ACTIVE MONITOR

A NEW SONIC VOYAGE

Antelope Audio’s first ever studio monitor is designed to provide a cutting-edge modern solution for every studio. Atlas i8 delivers extended low-end frequencies and soaring sound pressure levels thanks to its secret weapon – two 8-inch woofers configured in an isobaric design. Atlas i8 brings sonic accuracy, pinpoint imaging and a fatigue-free listening experience as a result of meticulous acoustical engineering along with decades of research and development in the field of digital signal processing.

Less space, more bass.

Two 8-inch woofers, one behind another, sealed in an isobaric configuration, deliver unrivaled power and detailed low-frequency response. The isobaric design drastically reduces both cabinet size and air volume without sacrificing performance even when Atlas i8 is pushed to the absolute limit.

Fidelity first.

At the core of the Atlas i8 is a proprietary digital processing system powered by a custom FPGA chip, enabling precise FIR and IIR filtering for time-aligned response, crystal-clear transients, and a focused stereo image. This technology builds on our long-standing heritage in FPGA-based audio design, refined over years of developing world-class interfaces, converters, and master clocks. Unlike many DSP speakers thatf compromise on conversion quality, the Atlas i8 features the same high-end AD/DA converters found in our flagship Galaxy interfaces, ensuring pristine audio detail and true reference-grade monitoring. Each unit is rigorously tested to deliver exceptional performance right out of the box.

SOFTWARE CONTROL PANEL

Manage all settings of your speakers directly from your sweet spot! The software control panel allows for remote access to all of the additional functionality of the speakers – comprehensive 8-band EQ, delay offset, extended bass modes and preset management.

BASS MANAGEMENT

Tune the speakers to your working space with a comprehensive 8-band parametric EQ. Reduce low frequency band boosts in some room monitoring situations or tailor high frequencies to avoid desktop reflections, by easily adjusting frequency, gain and Q for each band. The EQ can also be accessed directly from the back of the speaker.

Atlas i8’s Delay Offset feature lets you fine-tune the timing of each speaker so sound from both monitors reaches your ears at the same moment. This ensures better stereo imaging, sharper transients, and more accurate monitoring. If one speaker is closer to the listening position than the other, you can apply up to 10 ms of delay—adjustable in 0.1 ms steps—to perfectly align them and preserve clarity across the stereo field.

Atlas i8 lets you save and recall complete speaker settings—including EQ, delay, input source and bass mode—making it easy to switch between rooms, users, or listening scenarios. Store 5 presets on the speaker, plus 5 quick-access presets on your computer, for fast, flexible control in any studio setup.

Atlas i8 offers additional bass tuning options with two dedicated modes to adapt to any monitoring setup. Bass Extension mode enhances low-end depth, providing a fuller, more immersive response when monitoring without a subwoofer. Two-Way mode activates a high-pass filter with selectable cutoffs at 80, 100, or 120 Hz—ideal for integrating subwoofers or optimizing performance in multi-speaker and immersive audio environments.

Coaxial for the Mids and Highs.

The tweeter and mid-range driver are arranged co-axially to ensure a single point source for improved phase coherence. This allows Atlas i8 to be positioned horizontally or vertically without any risk of comb filtering or dips across the upper-frequency spectrum.

AFC

Digital precision.

The same 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking from our high-end master clocks and interfaces is integrated into Atlas i8. The propriatary clocking contributes to the quality of the AD/DA conversion inside, guaranteeing for the same professional standard found in some of the world’s most acclaimed studios.

Amplification

Top-notch amplification.

Three custom-designed Class-D amplifiers with incredibly low harmonic distortions and noise floor, tailored exclusively for the Atlas i8, feed 200W to the 8-inch woofers, 100W to the mid, and 100W to the high-frequency drivers to ensure a clean, yet substantially high SPL.

COLOR DISPLAY
WITH ADVANCED SETTINGS

A color display alongside a rotary knob to the rear of Atlas i8 provides access to main settings like volume, routing, EQ, bass modes and preset recall with just a couple of steps.

AES I/O
AND ANALOG CONNECTIVITY

Alongside the standard analog connections in both XLR and TRS configurations, an AES/EBU digital input and output provide wider connectivity options. Bypass your interface’s D/A conversion and take advantage of Antelope’s legendary AD/DA and clocking technology; or daisy chain two monitors with ease.

MOUNTABLE

Optional mounting plate adapter (VESA 100x200mm) standard is available, making wall or ceiling placement for multi-speaker Surround and Atmos™ setups simple and elegant.
