Antelope Audio Atlas i8 3-way Active Studio Monitor

The Atlas i8 is a high-end studio monitor that synergizes Antelope Audio’s state-of-the-art clock and interface technologies with meticulous acoustical engineering to deliver unparalleled sound accuracy in any studio environment. Featuring an isobaric configuration with two 8-inch woofers, a coaxial mid and high-frequency driver, and a custom Class-D 400W amplifier, the Atlas i8 delivers precise audio reproduction between 35 and 20 000 Hz with a maximum SPL of 117dB. A custom digital processing system with FPGA chips enhances the performance, achieving a neutral frequency response and linear phase. The result is an accurate, pinpoint sound and a fatigue-free listening experience. The DSP also unlocks a handful of features that improve everyday studio life.Key Features:Antelope’s digital precision: Fundamental Antelope Audio technologies are integrated into the Atlas i8 studio monitor. Top quality AD/DA converters and proprietary 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology all run internally on a 192 kHz sample rate to ensure that no audio quality will be lost during conversion.One-point Source for the Mids and Highs: A coaxial design with mid frequency driver and a tweeter working together as a single point source deliver improved phase coherence and allow Atlas i8 to be positioned horizontally or vertically without any risk of comb filtering or dips across the upper-frequency spectrum.Isobaric: The Atlas i8 has two identical 8-inch woofers that are sealed in an isobaric configuration, one behind the other and moving together in sync. The air pressure caused by the first one is compensated by the movement of the second one, creating a sealed volume with an even pressure level. Using this isobaric design allows a drastic reduction in cabinet volume without sacrificing low-end performance.Specifications:Audio Specifications: - Frequency Range: 35 – 20kHz - Max SPL: 117dB at 1m - Drivers: LF: 2x8 isobaric, MF: 5,5, HF: 1,5 coaxial - AD/DA converter: 24-bit/ 192 kHzAmp Wattage: 400W (200W low + 100W mid + 100W high)Active or passive: ActiveDimensions: - Width: 29cm / 11.4” - Depth: 38.7cm / 15.2” - Height: 50cm / 19.7” - Weight: 24kg / 61.7lbs
