Achieve new heights in studio monitoring with the Antelope Atlas i8, a high-end studio monitor that synergizes Antelope's state-of-the-art clock and interface technologies with meticulous acoustical engineering to deliver unparalleled sound accuracy in any studio environment. The Atlas i8 features Class-D amplification that delivers 200W to the dual 8" woofers and 100W respectively to 5.5" midrange and 1.5" high-frequency drivers. The two 8" woofers are encased in an isobaric chamber, which creates a deep, punchy bass that is typically only possible in larger enclosures.

Additionally, the mid-high drivers are arranged into a coaxial design that allows both drivers to behave as a single point source with improved phase coherency and a wide sweet spot. A custom digital processing system with FPGA chips enhances the performance, achieving a neutral frequency response and linear phase for accurate sound and a fatigue-free listening experience. The Atlas i8 includes a USB cable and power cord.

Less Space, More Bass
Two 8" woofers, one behind another, sealed in an isobaric configuration, deliver unrivaled power and detailed low-frequency response. The isobaric design drastically reduces both cabinet size and air volume without sacrificing performance even when Atlas i8 is pushed to the absolute limit.
Fidelity First
To achieve flat and time-aligned frequency response a proprietary digital processing system has been developed to run inside FPGA chips with FIR and IIR filters, thus providing a deep and focused stereo image, precise transients and fatigue-free studio sessions. The Atlas i8 is calibrated during the manufacturing process and tested thoroughly to deliver optimal performance.
Coaxial for the Mids and Highs
The tweeter and midrange driver are arranged coaxially to ensure a single-point source for improved phase coherence. This allows Atlas i8 to be positioned horizontally or vertically without any risk of comb filtering or dips across the upper-frequency spectrum.
Digital Precision
The same 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking from Antelope's high-end master clocks and interfaces is integrated into Atlas i8. The proprietary clocking contributes to the quality of the AD/DA conversion inside, guaranteeing the same professional standard found in some of the world's most acclaimed studios.
Top-Notch Amplification
Three custom-designed Class-D amplifiers with incredibly low harmonic distortions and noise floor, tailored exclusively for the Atlas i8, feed 200W to the 8-inch woofers, 100W to the mid, and 100W to the high-frequency drivers to ensure a clean yet substantially high SPL.
Advanced Work Flow
  • Software Control Panel: The software control panel unleashes the full potential of the Atlas i8. Onboard processing allows various workflow enhancement options such as EQ, dim, mute, volume control, delay offset, and preset management.
  • Color Display with Advanced Settings: A color display alongside a rotary knob on the rear of Atlas i8 provides access to main settings like volume, routing, EQ, bass modes, and preset recall with just a couple of steps.
  • AES I/O and Analog Connectivity: Alongside the standard analog connections in both XLR and TRS configurations, an AES/EBU digital input and output provide wider connectivity options: Bypass your interface’s D/A conversion; or daisy chain two monitors with ease.
  • Mountable: Optional mounting plate adapter (VESA 100x200mm) standard is available, making wall or ceiling placement for multispeaker Surround and Atmos setups simple and elegant.
  • 4-Band Equalizer: Room matching can be further enhanced using the color display and rotary knob via user-friendly 4-band EQ. Reduce low-frequency band boosts in some room monitoring situations or tailor high frequencies to avoid desktop reflections.
  • Delay Offset for Distance: Atlas i8’s Delay Offset feature allows the distance between the sweet spot of two monitors to be compensated if there is a difference in order to achieve an optimal stereo image.
