Atlantic Technology Wins 5 Major Industry Awards

This Massachusetts-based manufacturer wins five major industry awards for its home theater and architectural speaker systems for 2008.

NORWOOD, MA (9/12/08) -- Atlantic Technology, one of the most respected manufacturers of home theater and architectural loudspeaker systems, has received a record high five industry awards so far in 2008 from some of the most influential and respected magazines in the home theater and custom installation industry. All but one of them were announced at the 2008 CEDIA Expo held in Denver this past week.

"The only thing better than a little recognition," commented Atlantic Technology President and founder Peter Tribeman, "is a lot of recognition -- which is what Atlantic has seen this year from all the major industry press and publications. This has been a busy year for us, with a complete redesign of our flagship THX in-wall speaker line, our collaborative work with Epson on the Ensemble home theater system, and a strong push forward of our sales and marketing programs. It's nice to know that hard work is being noticed by the press as well as our dealers and customers."

Atlantic Technology In-Wall LCR Combines THX Level Performance with Simple Horizontal Installation in Standard Wall Cavities

Atlantic Technology previewed its forthcoming IWTS-155 LCR in-wall loudspeaker to custom installation professionals at the 2008 CEDIA Expo here today. Designed to deliver THX level performance, but still mount either vertically or horizontally in a standard 2x4 wall cavity, the speaker is ideal for use as a high quality L/R speaker, or as the center channel speaker in a complete In-Wall THX system.

"The IWTS-155 LCR will be THX Certified when used with its optional back box," comments Atlantic Technology Marketing Director Steve Feinstein. "This will give installers THX performance in a speaker that is compact enough to be installed horizontally between standard 16 inch-on-center stud construction - something many THX certified speakers are too large to do. The 155 LCR can be used for all three front speakers, delivering perfectly-balanced sound and THX-level performance. Additionally, the 155 will be ideally suited as a center channel match with Atlantic’s THX-certified IWCB-727 and IWTS-30 LCR in-wall speakers when a horizontal center channel speaker is desired."

 

Atlantic Technology Debuts New In-wall Subwoofer

Atlantic Technology, one of the most respected manufacturers of home theater and architectural loudspeaker systems, has introduced a new passive in-wall subwoofer designed to deliver superior performance for custom installations. The IWTS-28 SUB uses dual 8-inch woofers, features a flexible set of connection and integration features, and is ideal for retro-fit installation in standard 2x4 wall cavities. An optional outboard monoblock amplifier, the 180 Watt SA-180, will also be introduced to power the new subwoofer.

"Retro-fit In-wall installations are notoriously challenging when it comes to deep-bass performance," said Atlantic Technology Marketing Director Steve Feinstein. "While there are extremely capable in-wall subwoofers available, such as our highly regarded SUB 8 system, they're usually designed for new construction projects, where you have complete access to the wall framing. The new IWTS-28 SUB  is designed specifically for retro-fit installs, yet still delivers a level of performance comparable to our acclaimed freestanding subwoofer models."

Atlantic Technology to Develop IP-Ready Loudspeakers for NetStreams’ StreamNet Whole House Protocol

NORWOOD, MA (8/27/08) -- Atlantic Technology, a leading manufacturer of home theater and architectural loudspeaker systems, has announced plans to introduce IP-Ready loudspeakers that are compatible with the NetStreams® StreamNet™ whole-house Internet-Protocol (IP) A/V distribution technology. Atlantic’s StreamNet-Ready speakers deliver unsurpassed audio performance because the NetStreams system produces a synchronized digital signal from the source that provides a pristine signal to speaker’s voicecoil. NetStreams will be showing these Atlantic Technology speakers at their CEDIA booth (930), as will AVAD in their “Connectivity Pavilion” (701).

Atlantic has modified three of its most popular in-wall systems—the IWTS-4 LCR, the IWTS-7 LCR and the IWTS-14 LCR to have a special “A-B” connector switch that allows the speaker to either be connected conventionally via the regular speaker terminals, or, when the switch is thrown into the “NetStreams” position, the speaker connects via the NetStreams Euro-style barrier connector. When connected to the NetStreams system, the speakers are bi-amplified using either NetStreams 2-channel or 4-channel SpeakerLinX™ room amplifiers, taking advantage of the cutting-edge digital equalization that is built into the NetStreams system architecture.  The net result is dramatically improved dynamic range and sound pressure level from the speaker.

Atlantic Technology Ships Industry's First THX Select2 Loudspeaker - the In-Wall, Sealed Enclosure IWCB-727

Atlantic Technology has begun shipping its THX Select2 Certified IWCB-727 in-wall loudspeaker system. This is the first loudspeaker of any format to earn the new THX Select2 certification, which uses more stringent measurement standards than the earlier THX Select standard, and is the top-of-the-line model in the company's acclaimed IWCB series of sealed-enclosure in-wall speaker designs.

"Everyone who has heard our current In-Wall Closed Box series has been knocked out by them," said the company's president, Peter Tribeman, "They have defined a new level of in-wall speaker performance with their solid, sealed MDF enclosures, their ease of installation, and their incredible placement flexibility. Now, we’ve taken the IWCB's to a new level with the THX Select2 Certified IWCB-727. The 727 is like a world-class athlete with all the right moves: fast, powerful, and adaptable to virtually any situation."

Atlantic Technology Introduces Two In-Wall Surround Speakers, With and Without THX Ultra Certification

Atlantic Technology has introduced a two dipole/bipole switchable surround speakers in its IWTS line (In Wall Theater System) of architectural speakers for home theater. Both the IWTS-30 SR and the IWTS-14 SR feature dual two-way driver arrays facing front and rear to fill the listening area with ambient sound for a remarkably convincing, lifelike theater soundfield. The IWTS-30 SR has earned THX Ultra certification, a testimony to its remarkable performance and high output capabilities. The IWTS 14 SR (which is not THX Certified) shares the capabilities and feature set of its sibling, but with slightly less extended bass output.

  Atlantic Technology Launches Flagship THX Ultra2 In-Wall Speaker

Norwood, MA (4/15/08) – After eight years as one of the industry's most successful THX-Certified in-wall loudspeakers, Atlantic Technology has replaced its flagship IWTS-20 LCR with a brand new model, the IWTS-30 LCR THX Ultra2 Certified in-wall loudspeaker.

The Atlantic Technology IWTS-30 LCR speakers are designed for use as the left, right, and center front channels in a state-of-the-art home theater system, and they deliver all the sonic accuracy and performance the world had come to expect from products earning the prestigious THX Ultra2 Certification. A rotating and pivoting midrange-tweeter assembly ensures optimal performance regardless of whether the enclosure is mounted horizontally or vertically, and it uses the company's exclusive Low Resonance Tweeter (LRT™) for exceptional off-axis listening. The speakers are designed for easy and aesthetically pleasing installation, and an optional sealed rear enclosure provides added acoustic isolation.

New Atlantic Technology In-Wall Speaker Delivers LRT™ Technology at Lower Price Point

NORWOOD, MA (3/13/08) -- Atlantic Technology has introduced the IWTS-4LCR, an in-wall loudspeaker that inherits much of the technology and installation simplicity of the company's high-end in-wall designs, but at a significantly lower cost. The speaker represents the lowest price point yet to incorporate the company's highly regarded Low Resonance Tweeter (LRT™). LRT technology delivers much wider midrange dispersion than conventional in-wall speakers for greater placement flexibility, but without the acoustic and mechanical drawbacks of more conventional "pivoting tweeter" designs.

"Our LRT is the most elegant and effective solution we've yet seen to the placement problems facing installers every day," comments Atlantic Technology Director of Marketing Steve Feinstein. "The problem with most in-walls is that even if there is a pivoting or directional tweeter assembly, most of the directionally-critical  midrange frequencies are still handled by the woofer - which isn't pivoting, and has much more limited dispersion than the tweeter anyway. Our LRT crosses over a full octave or more below most designs, allowing the IWTS-4 to cover the entire listening area beautifully in both the midrange and treble, even when it’s mounted high up on the wall."

NORWOOD, MA (3/3/08) -- Atlantic Technology has announced immediate shipment of the IWTS-8eSUB (In-Wall Theater System), a THX Ultra certified in-wall subwoofer system that is designed to deliver the highest level of in-wall bass reproduction the company has ever offered. The IWTS-8e subwoofer system replaces the company's previous in-wall Sub 8, which broke new ground in 2001 as the first system designed for standard 2x4 studded wall cavities to meet THX's stringent Ultra certification standards. The new system benefits from improved cabinet and baffle design, as well as a new outboard amplifier that is smaller, simpler to set-up, and more powerful than its predecessor.

"The IWTS-7 and -14 are the result of us rethinking in-wall speakers from the ground up" comments Atlantic Technology president Peter Tribeman. "We started by tossing out the idea that in-walls were a compromise, and committed ourselves to holding our in-walls to the same acoustic standards we have for freestanding standing speakers. In the end, these in-walls deliver outstanding home theater and music reproduction, blend transparently into any décor, and have features that make them easier to install, set-up, and adjust to fit the room they're in."

"However, we did see an opportunity to update its appearance, and make it a better fit for most people's homes. Of course, while we were at it, our engineers did find a way to make sound even better, and we've managed to cut the prices at the same time."
