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.

Atlas i8 Fidelity 2

Fidelity first.

To achieve flat and time-aligned frequency response a proprietary digital processing system has been developed to run inside FPGA chips with FIR and IIR filters, thus providing a deep and focused stereo image, precise transients and fatigue-free studio sessions. The Atlas i8 is calibrated during the manufacturing process and tested thoroughly to deliver optimal performance.

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.

SOFTWARE
CONTROL PANEL

The software control panel unleashes the full potential of the Atlas i8. Onboard processing allows various workflow enhancement options such as EQ, dim, mute, volume control, delay offset and preset management.

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; 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.

4-BAND EQUALIZER

Room matching can be further enhanced using the color display and rotary knob via a user-friendly 4-band EQ. Reduce low frequency band boosts in some room monitoring situations or tailor high frequencies to avoid desktop reflections.

DELAY OFFSET FOR DISTANCE

Atlas i8’s Delay Offset feature allows the distance between the sweet spot of two monitors to be compensated if there is a difference in order to achieve an optimal stereo image.

“Der hier gestate Studiomonitor gehört zur Spitzenklasse in seiner Preiskategorie in jeglicher Hinsicht. Ich wurde sogar so weit gehen zu sagen, dass die Antelope Audio Atlas i8 auch mit wesentlich teureren Modellen namhafter Hersteller locker mithalten können.”
