Antelope Audio’s first ever studio monitor is designed to provide a cutting-edge modern solution for every studio. Atlas i8 delivers extended low-end frequencies and soaring sound pressure levels thanks to its secret weapon – two 8-inch woofers configured in an isobaric design. Atlas i8 brings sonic accuracy, pinpoint imaging and a fatigue-free listening experience as a result of meticulous acoustical engineering along with decades of research and development in the field of digital signal processing.

• Delay offset to compensate for distance from the sweet spot
• AES digital I/O allowing daisy chain
• Optional mounting plate for wall/ceiling mount
Two 8-inch 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.
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.
The tweeter and mid-range driver are arranged co-axially 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.
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.
A color display alongside a rotary knob to 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.
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 A/D conversion; or daisy chain two monitors with ease.
Optional mounting plate adapter (VESA 100x200mm) standard is available, making wall or ceiling placement for multi-speaker Surround and Atmos™ setups simple and elegant.
Room matching can be further enhanced using the color display and rotary knob via a user-friendly 4-band EQ. Reduce low frequency band boosts in some room monitoring situations or tailor high frequencies to avoid desktop reflections.
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.

I really want to love this for my daughter. She loves playing with my Synthstrom Deluge and my Push 2 when it's plugged in and she sits in my lap.
On paper this is perfect. A tiny-hand friendly 'groovebox' that my 2yo (and myself) can fiddle with and watch the pretty lights change and hear the parameters sculpt the synth tone.
The problem is all the synth patches are decidedly in the acid and squelch realm. For the life of me I can't get a decent, lush patch. I understand the point is to let my child explore and just find and discover sounds but it all sounds so abrasive. If I zero out all the depth and LFO dials and listen to what I assume is an unmodulated, relatively clean patch it's still really atonal. There's none of the sweet subtractive sound I was expecting. Perhaps that's on me and my expectations.
There are no parameter clamps so your LFOs range from what sounds like .01hz to way up to 240hz. When these values are applied to modulation it's either unnoticeable or so full on that it mangles the sound. Yep, you need to keep the dial in the sweet spot, but clamping would solve this and keep the parameters in a much more musical range.
Speaking of modulation, by ear I often can't tell what the two mod dials are doing. That's partially on me, I need to do some manual diving, but I'm pretty experienced with synths and can usually tell the modulation in effect. And even then adjusting the depth usually doesn't do anything except make the sound even more abrasive. Sometimes it feels like it's delayed and only applies your modulation changes at the next sequence start, other times it's clearly real time.
So yeah. I love the idea of this and I'll keep it and see if I can't get any palatable sound out of it via MIDI, but as it stands I really don't think my daughter - who again, loves playing with other synths/devices when there's a decent sounding patch loaded - will be getting much use our of it.

There is one “small” problem with the Artiphon Orba travel case: the Artiphon Orba does not fit in it if you have dressed your Orba in the Artiphon Orba silicone skin. Otherwise it’s fine
