Introduction

The Model AT-1 is a 2-way system of extraordinarily high performance intended for use in a top-quality music or home theater system. Its patent- pending H-PAS™ bass technology enables the AT-1 to deliver powerful low bass performance (-3 dB @ 29 Hz) not previously achievable with compa- rably-sized drivers in similar-sized enclosures.

Each speaker contains two GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 5 ¼" (135mm) woofers and an advanced 118" (28mm) ferrofluid-cooled, Low Resonance silk dome tweeter with an integral back chamber/heatsink.The drivers are configured in an M-T-M array (midrange-tweeter-midrange alignment).This vertical arrangement of drivers provides wide left-to-right coverage of sound while limiting the floor and ceiling reflections that can color the sound. These components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF enclosure, with special proprietary internal bracing, called CDFF™ (Cross Design Free Flow). This bracing makes the enclosure extremely rigid, while perfectly maintaining the internal airflow that is critical to its performance.

The Atlantic Technology AT-1 is a meticulously designed loudspeaker that embodies a blend of innovative technology and refined acoustics, making it an exceptional choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. This two-way bookshelf speaker is known for its impressive soundstage, detailed reproduction, and versatility across various listening environments.

One of the main features that set the AT-1 apart is its advanced driver configuration. The speaker is equipped with a 5.25-inch polygraphite driver, which provides a robust midrange and deep bass response. This driver is accompanied by a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter designed to deliver exceptionally clear highs. The tweeter’s design minimizes distortion and enhances transient response, allowing for intricate details in music and audio to be reproduced with precision.

Another notable characteristic of the AT-1 is its rear-firing bass port, which contributes to improved low-frequency performance. The port design not only helps optimize airflow for deeper bass but also allows for flexible placement in various setups. This feature is particularly beneficial in smaller rooms where placement options may be limited.

The AT-1 incorporates Atlantic Technology’s proprietary sound dispersion technologies, which promote a wide and even soundstage. This technology allows listeners to experience immersive audio, whether they are seated directly in front of the speaker or off to the side. The speaker’s construction includes a solid MDF cabinet, which minimizes resonance and unwanted vibrations, further enhancing the clarity and accuracy of sound reproduction.

In terms of aesthetics, the Atlantic Technology AT-1 presents a modern yet timeless design. Available in multiple finishes, it can seamlessly blend into various interior decors, making it a visually appealing addition to any audio setup. The speaker’s compact size also makes it easy to integrate into smaller spaces without sacrificing audio quality.

The Atlantic Technology AT-1 is engineered for versatility, capable of functioning as part of a home theater system or as standalone stereo speakers. Whether you're watching movies or listening to music, the AT-1 delivers an audio experience that excels in both clarity and richness, ensuring that every note and sound effect is enjoyed to the fullest.

In conclusion, the Atlantic Technology AT-1 represents a combination of cutting-edge design, advanced technology, and aesthetic appeal. It is a speaker that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of discerning listeners, making it a staple in any high-quality audio environment.
