Antelope Audio - Atlas i8

Antelope Audio is taking on the world of monitoring and making a splash with the Atlas i8.
This is a 3-way monitoring speaker with 400 W of class D amplification in total, equipped with 2 identical 8-inch woofers (speakers) that are sealed in an isobaric configuration, one behind the other, offering a powerful and clean low frequency response. Thanks to the isobaric design, the size of the cabinet is significantly reduced, the efficiency is improved and the bass performance and a reduction in distortion..

With the Atlas i8, the Bulgarian manufacturer claims to have achieved a neutral and flat frequency response, as well as phase linearity, which translates into a dynamic, clear and precise sound. A proprietary digital signal processing technology with FPGA chips has been designed to implement FIR and IIR filters, allowing for a deep and focused stereo image.

A single-axis coaxial driver design handles the mid and high bands, eliminating potential comb-filtering effects and allowing for both horizontal and vertical positioning.

AFC (Adaptive Frequency Control) is a precision digital technology. A single-axis coaxial driver design is used to handle the mid and high frequency bands, eliminating potentially damaging comb-filtering effects and allowing for both horizontal and vertical positioning.

Premium Amplification:
The specially designed Class-D amplifier with ultra-low total harmonic distortion (THD), designed exclusively for the ATLAS i8, powers the 8-inch drivers with 200W, the midrange with 100W and the highs with 100W to ensure high and substantial SPL performance.

A full-color display with a rotary dial provides easy access to the speaker's main parameters. You can easily adjust volume, routing and EQ presets.

An optional mounting plate is available to allow wall or flush mounting for various surround and Atmos speaker configurations.

The Delay Off Set adjusts for any difference in distance between the two ideal listening points of the two monitors (to find the famous sweet spot), in order to obtain an optimal stereo image.

The Atlas i8's AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs offer more extensive connectivity options, bypassing the conversion in the interface and allowing easy daisy chaining of two monitors.

With the software control panel you can take full advantage of the Atlas i8. The onboard processing will allow manual frequency adjustments to improve the overall performance of the speaker according to the acoustics of the room. Other workflow-enhancing options, such as DIM, MUTE, volume control, and delay adjustment, will also be available.

Finally, you can make corrections using the simple 4-band EQ on the color display on the back of the Atlas i8. This allows you to reduce low or high frequencies to improve the response in your room or avoid unwanted reflections on the desk.
