ATLAS: TRUE REFERENCE AUDIO INTERFACE WITH MDIO EXPANSION

Prism Sound’s Atlas is a world-class multi-track interface offering flexible expansion and unsurpassable sonic clarity. Using the latest generation of Prism Sound’s trusted conversion, the Atlas is ideal for music and sound recording, multi-tracking, overdubbing, stem-based mastering, analog summing, and critical listening applications.

RENOWNED AD/DA CONVERSION
Atlas’ design does not cut corners and boasts the same trusted Prism Sound converters used on countless hit records. The detail is extremely transparent and ensures that even the smallest details are clearly defined in your mix.

PRISTINE PRE-AMPLIFICATION
Featuring eight class-A microphone preamps, Atlas guarantees superbly clean, detailed recordings that capture a performance the way it was intended.

SOFT-CLIP LIMITING (OVERKILLER)
Prism Sound Atlas’ analog input channels include a switchable Prism Sound ‘Overkiller’ circuit. This soft-clip limiter gently absorbs transients and allows signal levels to be pushed to their limits without risk.

UNSURPASSED CLOCKING AND JITTER REJECTION
Prism Sound’s history in developing test and measurement equipment for the audio industry has allowed our 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.

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
In an ever-changing world of I/O connectivity, the MDIO expansion slot allows your Prism Sound Atlas interface to remain relevant, increasing its lifespan and bringing a much better return on your investment.
Both the Pro Tools|HDX and Dante MDIO options allow you to stack multiple Atlas providing sample-accurate phase-locked audio between multiple units.

INTERFACE SOFTWARE
Atlas’ front panel gives a 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.
The upper area of the applet shows a panel of ‘Global’ settings for the entire group of connected interfaces, and a panel of ‘Unit’ settings which is assignable to each connected unit in turn, using the enclosed drop-list. These settings are concerned with general parameters such as sync source and sample rate selection, metering, and buffering modes. An ‘Identify’ button causes all the LEDs on the selected box to light, to assist with identification in multi-unit systems. To the right, there are large buttons for loading and saving setups, and for online help.

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. Developed to meet the needs of our audio archiving clients where even the most minute, inaudible errors are completely unacceptable. Verifile can quickly identify and detect any such imperfection, making it the ideal choice for mastering & mixing engineers.
