Prism Sound - ATLAS

Description

Atlas and Titan are world class multi-track interfaces offering flexible expansion and unsurpassable sonic clarity. Using the latest generation of Prism Sound's trusted conversion, Atlas provides more preamps than Titan making it suitable for a wider range of recording scenarios.

UNSURPASSED CLOCKING AND JITTER REJECTION
Prism Sound's history in developing test and measurement equipment for the audio industry has allowed their engineers to get a much deeper understanding of digital clocking and its associated issues.

DIGITAL MIXER WITH FLEXIBLE MONITORING
Atlas has a powerful built-in digital mixer that can be configured to provide a multitude of ultra low latency feeds, Including foldback to performers, stereo and surround outputs.

MIC PREAMPS
The Atlas boasts 8 ultra-clean, low-noise microphone preamps that perfectly compliment its transparent A/D conversion (with software controllable phantom power, -20dB pad and Overkiller limiter switches on each channel.)

FUTURE PROOF CONNECTIVITY
With a standard USB connection Atlas can connect to the widest range of computers today and for the foreseeable future. Add to this the option of ProTools HDX and Dante modules for the most flexible and professional solution.

MDIO MULTI-CHANNEL I/O EXPANSION
Atlas & Titan support Prism Sound's MDIO expansion cards (sold separately), which provide alternative "host" connections. The "host" is usually a computer and the Atlas or Titan interface provides a means of connection between the host and the external analogue and digital audio I/O ports.

The MDIO expansion slot provides an alternative host connection. It does not necessarily disable the USB port, but in the case of the Pro Tools interface MDIO-PTHDX, the USB port is switched off when the Pro Tools interface is to be used.

SOFTWARE
Atlas' front panel gives continuous visual indication of the unit's main settings and levels, but in-depth control is managed from the Atlas Controller applet. This runs on the DAW computer, and can be popped up whenever adjustments are needed.

VERIFILE
Verifile is a radical new proprietary technology exclusive to Prism Sound which allows computer audio streams and recorded files to be quickly checked for a wide range of clicks, errors and dropouts, without any compromise in the audio content or any additional metadata. The Verifile process is entirely invisible and inaudible to the user, so using it is simplicity itself.
