AtlasIED has expanded its Atmosphere audio processing and control platform with the release of two combined signal processor and amplification products, the Atmosphere AZMP4 (4-zone) and AZMP8 (8-zone), and the Atmosphere X-ZPS, an advanced multi-zone paging station accessory. Additionally, AtlasIED is now offering Atmosphere 3.0, a major software update for the Atmosphere platform.
Atmosphere combines digital audio processors, amplifiers, graphical user interfaces, programming software, and controls to claim ‘a new operational and performance standard’ for digital audio systems. Designed to be simple to install and easy to operate, the platform offers the modularity, scalability, and quality performance required to support the audio needs of a wide range of commercial applications, including restaurants, bars, hotels, school campuses, houses of worship and retail
The new Atmosphere AZMP4 (4-zone) and AZMP8 (8-zone) add built-in premium amplification to help customers consolidate products in an audio rack and streamline system integration. The AZMP4 is powered by a single 600W 4-channel amplifier module while the AZMP8 provides 1.2kW of total power. Any AZMP4 or AZMP8 individual channel can be software configured to provide different wattages. For example, if a restaurant has several zones but one has more speakers, an installer can use the AZMP to divide the power to better suit a zone with more or less speakers.
Atmosphere X-ZPS is an advanced multi-zone paging station accessory natively compatible with AtliasIED AZM and AZMP processors. Like all Atmosphere accessories, the X-ZPS is plug-and-play using Cat5e cable and daisy-chainable with other accessories up to 1,000ft. With a 4.3-inch touchscreen display for easy Zone, Group, or All Call paging using the included gooseneck microphone, it can also be configured as a full Atmosphere system controller with access to features including zone volume, source select, message recall, scene select, and bell schedule.
Available for AtlasIED AZM audio processors and the new AZMP combination audio processors with built-in amplifiers, the Atmosphere 3.0 update builds upon the embedded intelligence for the system, now allowing for continuous monitoring and supervision of system health and performance.
A new Self-Test feature measures system performance over time and provides notifications of any degradation of loudspeaker load. Additionally, Atmosphere 3.0, introduces sound masking as another feature of this powerful platform. Used in corporate, healthcare/ clinical, and other settings, sound masking helps cover speech for enhanced speech privacy and reduce distracting office noise for increased focus and productivity.
‘The introduction of these new hardware products and the latest software represent another important milestone and highlights the continued innovation of the Atmosphere platform,’ says Director of Product Management, Tom Lureman. ‘The Atmosphere platform has transformed the way our customers integrate audio into a variety of environments, like hospitality. These latest products bring more capabilities and value to support clients’ needs.’
