Antelope Audio Atlas i8 Single 3-Way Active Studio Monitor

The Antelope Audio Atlas i8 is an exceptional studio monitor meticulously designed to merge cutting-edge clock and interface technologies with precision acoustical engineering, delivering unmatched sonic accuracy across all studio settings. With its innovative isobaric configuration comprising two 8-inch woofers, a coaxial mid and high-frequency driver, and a bespoke Class D 400W amplifier, the Atlas i8 achieves precise audio reproduction spanning from 35Hz to 20kHz, boasting a maximum SPL of 117dB. The proprietary FPGA-based digital processing system ensures a neutral frequency response and linear phase, resulting in pinpoint accuracy and fatigue-free listening. Additionally, this DSP unlocks an array of features to elevate your studio workflow.

Innovative Isobaric Design: The Atlas i8 employs a unique isobaric design where two identical 8-inch woofers work in perfect sync, reducing cabinet volume while delivering deep, distortion-free bass performance down to 35Hz.

Calibration with FIR and IIR Filters: Proprietary digital processing powered by FPGA chips integrates FIR and IIR filters, achieving a flat and time-aligned frequency response for impeccable stereo imaging, precise transients, and fatigue-free studio sessions.

Antelope’s Digital Precision: The monitor incorporates top-tier AD/DA converters and Antelope’s 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology, maintaining pristine audio quality at a 192 kHz sample rate.

One-Point Source for Mids and Highs: A coaxial design with a mid-frequency driver and tweeter as a single point source enhances phase coherence and allows flexible positioning, be it horizontally or vertically, without compromising audio quality.

Workflow Enhancements: The onboard digital signal processing system introduces several studio-enhancing features. It offers analog XLR/TRS inputs, AES digital in/out for daisy-chaining two Atlas i8 speakers, and a user-friendly color display for effortless access to settings, including EQ adjustments, multiple speaker modes, delay offset, and preset management. Additionally, a software control panel ensures easy access to settings, optimizing your listening experience.

Meticulous Cabinet Design: Hand-assembled with an 18mm-thick, vibration-free cabinet featuring strategically placed extra ribs to reduce resonance frequencies. The bass reflex port, expertly positioned on the front, eliminates proximity issues with walls and corners. An optional mounting plate facilitates wall/ceiling installation for versatile placement.

Stylish Aesthetics: The Atlas i8 boasts a minimalist visual design in sophisticated black and vintage green colors.
