The new Atmos system is a complete, system independent surround miking system including two mic array options: the ASM5 indoor microphone with Brauner VM1 capsules or the new SPL Pentarray with mic capsules from Microtech Gefell for indoor and outdoor applications.

Ten years of experience in surround miking technology result in a reference system for surround sound in highest definition. The new Atmos Controller incorporates the five channel, remotely controllable preamplifier section, a LFE channel composer with level control and a headphone monitor. In contrast to the fully featured predecessor, the controller is now focused on basic features. This reduces costs dramatically for a pure, high definition preamp/microphone setup.

The preamplifier section ensures a homogeneous preamplification over all channels for a coherent imaging of rooms and source widths. The high precision preamplifiers are based upon SPL‘s Triple Gain Stage to capture the superb sound of the mic arrays in the most transparent, noiseless and uncoloured way. Lundahl transformers provide galvanic isolation and a passive 1:5 preamplification.

The ASM5 is based upon five selected and matched VM1 large diaphragm capsules. The positions of the all microphone heads are variable +/-90 degrees.
The new SPL Pentarray is produced by Microtech Gefell and comes with five M930 mics with variable postions as well.
Individual microphone solutions can be connected to the Atmos controller as well. The Atmos provides balanced XLR and DB25 outputs (parallel).
