LAS VEGAS, 1/7/2010 -- Atlantic Technology, one of the industry’s most respected loudspeaker manufacturers, today introduced model AT-1, the first production speaker to utilize the revolutionary H-PAS™ bass technology developed jointly by the company with Clements/Solus Loudspeakers. H-PAS is a breakthrough acoustic technology that allows speaker designers to achieve targeted bass performance with 50 percent smaller cabinets, smaller drivers, and lower costs. The technology was first publicly demonstrated in prototype form at the CEDIA Expo in September. "We are particularly pleased with the final design of the Atlantic Technology AT-1 and how well it conforms to the calculated performance of the H-PAS matrix," said company president, Peter Tribeman. "It retains the compact size and attractive appearance of the prototype we showed last fall, but has more acoustic weight and a more commanding, and authoritative sound. The AT-1 is uniquely well-suited to both music and home theater roles, and is equally at home in virtually any sized room." The patent-pending H-PAS system (Hybrid Pressure Acceleration System), combines elements of several speaker technologies: bass reflex, inverse horn, and transmission line. Using a unique cabinet design ... |

Atlantic Technology introduced the world's first seven-channel sound bar home theater speaker system at the CEDIA Expo held in Atlanta, September 9-13. The Atlantic Technology FS-7.0 Surround Bar is the first loudspeaker capable of reproducing all seven channels of a home theater soundtrack in a single 40-inch wide wall-mountable enclosure. The company has also introduced the SB-800, a powerful 8-inch subwoofer that is designed for optimal integration with the FS-7.0. "Single-enclosure surround sound systems have become an important part of the home theater marketplace," comments Steve Feinstein, Atlantic Technology Director of Marketing and Product Development. "But we've never been happy with the digital processing approach that has dominated the category. So we pored over the psycho-acoustic research, went back to the speaker design drawing board, and fleshed out an all-speaker solution that retains every iota of the original sound information, but re-distributes it among a sophisticated driver array to deliver cleaner, fuller, and more convincing surround sound than we've heard from any other system"

Atlantic Technology Ships New Retro-Fit In-Wall Subwoofer NORWOOD, MA (6/25/09) -- Atlantic Technology, one of the most respected manufacturers of home theater and architectural loudspeaker systems, has begun shipping 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, is also now available 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 8e 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, the premier manufacturer of loudspeakers and subwoofers designed expressly for home theater, has introduced three new compact speaker systems, and a new line of box subwoofers. The new lineup marks the most substantial redesign of the company's freestanding speaker offerings in over five years. "Over the last few years, we've focused our research and development programs primarily on our in-wall and in-ceiling products," comments Atlantic Technology president Peter Tribeman. "Much of that research, which has paid off so handsomely in our architectural speaker offerings, has substantial application for freestanding speakers as well - and we decided that it was time to upgrade those series as well." The new compact speaker introductions consist of three separate multichannel speaker systems, designated the Atlantic Technology System 1400, System 2400, and the THX Select certified System 4400; these series replace the company's acclaimed System 1200, 2200, and 4200e. Each of these series consists of three models, a two-way LR front channel speaker, two-way horizontal MTM center channel, and a dipole/bipole selectable surround channel speaker. Each series is intended for use with any of the company's subwoofer offerings, allowing dealers and consumers to specify speaker packages to accommodate a wide range of theater rooms and listening preferences. New features across the Atlantic Technology home theater speaker offerings include the addition of the company's LRT (Low Resonance Tweeter) in the System 1400 and 2400, new on-wall mounting capabilities for the System 4400, and updated aesthetics to match the company's larger floorstanding speaker lines. Also, an entirely new speaker, the dipole/bipole selectable System 1400 SR-Z, is expected to find widespread application as the height channel speaker in home theater systems equipped with the new Dolby ProLogic IIz audio technology. The 1400 SR-Z is also well suited for conventional applications as the left/right or rear surround channels in 5.1 and 7.1-channel theater systems. |

Atlantic Technology Surround Speaker Ideal for New Height Channel Applications Atlantic Technology has introduced a new dipole/bipole selectable surround speaker designed specifically with height-speaker channel applications in mind. The new Atlantic Technology 1400 SR-z's compact size and shallow profile allow it to be mounted high on the wall above the system's front speakers, making it ideal for use in home theater systems employing the new Dolby ProLogic IIz sound format, which calls for a pair of 'surround' channels to provide sound effects and ambience over the listener's head. Dolby Pro Logic IIz adds a new dimension of sonic information to movies, games, and music through the addition of a pair of 'height channel' speakers mounted above the front LR speakers. These new channels process the non-directional sonic information already present in audio content, generating a more spacious and enveloping surround soundfield than was previously possible from any stereo or multichannel source material. |
NORWOOD, MA (11/21/08) -- Atlantic Technology joined with Onkyo to win the Best Audio Demo Experience award at the Electronic House Expo (EHX) in Long Beach in early November. Onkyo and Atlantic Technology have now shared this award for two years in a row. "We were all very proud to be invited to join with Onkyo in this competition, and are even more thrilled to have won," said Atlantic Technology President, Peter Tribeman. "When you combine the best speakers with the best electronics, and put some of the industry's smartest minds into the room set up, it is hard to go wrong. With the expert help of Onkyo's product manager, Brian Sandifer and our own Jason Marcure, both companies spent many hours setting up the room to get it just right. With DVD Audio disc pressings of the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby along with a clip from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Blu-ray in Dolby True HD mode, the results were simply amazing."

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 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. |

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 LCR (In-Wall Theater Systems) and IWTS-14 LCR speakers include several unusual design and convenience features, including low-resonance MDF front baffles, a unique set of acoustic adjustments for optimal integration in any room, and grille/frame assemblies that are sold separately to simplify installation and preparation in large installations and new construction. "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." |
