Antelope Atlas i8 3-Way Isobaric Active Studio Monitor (Single)

Professional Studio Monitoring with Precision and Power
The Antelope Audio Atlas i8 is a 3-way active studio monitor engineered for audio professionals who demand superior accuracy, tight low-end response, and detailed imaging. Featuring dual 8" woofers in an isobaric chamber, coaxial mid-high drivers, and advanced digital processing, the Atlas i8 delivers a linear frequency response from 35 Hz to 20 kHz with a maximum SPL of 117 dB. Its onboard DSP, 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking, and premium AD/DA conversion ensure uncompromised sound quality, whether in a recording, mixing, or mastering environment.

Isobaric Design for Deep, Controlled Bass in a Compact Footprint
At the heart of the Atlas i8 is an innovative isobaric chamber housing two 8" woofers in a push-pull configuration. This design produces powerful, accurate low-frequency performance while minimizing cabinet size and internal air volume. The result is a tight, punchy bass response that maintains clarity and depth, even at high SPLs, making the Atlas i8 an excellent choice for studios with limited space.

Coaxial Mid-High Drivers for Accurate Phase Coherence and Wide Sweet Spot
The coaxial arrangement of the midrange and high-frequency drivers ensures that sound emanates from a single point source, improving phase alignment and imaging accuracy. This design minimizes comb filtering and ensures consistent frequency response across both horizontal and vertical orientations, providing a broad sweet spot that is ideal for critical listening environments and immersive setups like Dolby Atmos.

Digital Calibration with FIR and IIR Filters for Linear Response
Utilizing Antelope’s proprietary FPGA processing, the Atlas i8 is digitally calibrated with FIR and IIR filters to achieve a flat, time-aligned frequency response. This processing ensures precise transient reproduction, deep stereo imaging, and a fatigue-free listening experience, even during long studio sessions. Every unit is meticulously calibrated at the factory to maintain the highest performance standards.

64-Bit Acoustically Focused Clocking and High-Grade AD/DA Conversion
Incorporating technology from Antelope’s renowned master clocks and audio interfaces, the Atlas i8 uses 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking to reduce jitter and enhance conversion quality. Its internal AD/DA converters operate at 192 kHz / 24-bit, preserving audio integrity and delivering crystal-clear sound across the entire frequency range.

Class-D Amplification for High SPL with Low Distortion
Three custom-designed Class-D amplifiers power the Atlas i8, delivering 200W to the woofers, 100W to the midrange driver, and 100W to the tweeter. These amplifiers are engineered for ultra-low harmonic distortion and a low noise floor, ensuring clean, high-output performance. The robust amplification system allows the Atlas i8 to reach 117 dB SPL without compromising clarity or detail.

Comprehensive Connectivity and Workflow Enhancements
The Atlas i8 offers both analog (XLR and TRS) and digital AES/EBU inputs, providing flexible connectivity options. Onboard DSP offers advanced tools such as a 4-band parametric EQ, delay offset for stereo alignment, and preset management. Control is accessible via a rear-mounted color display and rotary knob, as well as a remote software panel over USB. An optional VESA mount plate allows for wall or ceiling installation, making it perfect for surround and Atmos setups.
