Antelope Atlas i8 – Active 3-way studio monitor

Discover the first-ever studio monitor from Antelope, a renowned manufacturer known for its advanced audio interfaces, converters, and digital clocking technology. The cutting-edge Atlas i8 is designed to incorporate digital features that push the boundaries of studio monitoring, catering to the evolving needs of today’s producers and engineers. Dive into the unique features and groundbreaking design of the Antelope Atlas i8 studio monitor.

The Atlas i8 presents a bold 3-way design, utilizing dual 8-inch woofers positioned directly behind one another in an innovative isobar configuration. This allows for a relatively compact monitor casing while still delivering the desired frequency response and performance. Say goodbye to bulky monitors that take up valuable space in your studio, without compromising on audio quality.

The mids and highs of the Atlas i8 are projected via a coaxial driver, specifically chosen to minimize filter combing effects. This versatile monitor offers both vertical and horizontal configurations, adapting to your studio setup and workflow. The powerful, custom-designed low-distortion Class D amplifier distributes 200 watts to the 8-inch woofers and 100 watts to the mids and tweeters, resulting in an impressive maximum SPL of 117 dB.

The rear panel of the Antelope Atlas i8 is a dream come true for speaker enthusiasts. Manual acoustic adjustments are made simple with a color display, providing access to a 4-band EQ for precise control over your sound. Additional functions such as dim, mute, volume control, and delay offset ensure optimal stereo imaging integrity. These features can also be managed via software, with USB connectivity on the rear panel for seamless integration with your studio system.

Another innovative aspect of the Atlas i8 is its digital AES/EBU connectivity, featuring Antelope’s renowned conversion stage. This monitor delivers a 25 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and supports up to 192 kHz sample rates, providing outstanding audio quality for professional applications.

Even though the Antelope Atlas i8 is in the same price range as ATC/PMC monitors, it represents a bold new direction for Antelope, showcasing their commitment to developing cutting-edge studio monitoring solutions. With the Atlas i8, Antelope has set a new standard in the industry, and we eagerly await their future offerings.
