NetStreams, the pioneer in
digital media networks based on Internet Protocol technology,
recently acquired by ClearOne, the leading global
provider of audio conferencing solutions today announced the latest
release from Atlantic Technology, the new ICTS-6.1-IP in-ceiling
speakers. The NetStreams system enables the speaker’s crossover and
equalization functions to be performed digitally upstream, in the
NetStreams amplifier. The NetStreams amplifier is connected to each
Atlantic speaker with an easy Phoenix connector. The combination of
these new leading speakers with a NetStreams SpeakerLinX
amplifier such as the NS-SL254 and the pre-loaded Atlantic
crossover/equalization files can be custom dialed to the exact crossover
and equalization desired.
"We have built some really good ceiling speakers over the
years," said Steve Feinstein, Atlantic Technology’s Director of
Marketing and Product Development, "but never one that sounds this good
for such a modest price-and it has full IP capabilities. Whether it’s
used for music in the kitchen or home theater in the bedroom, installers
are going to love this speaker. It’s easy to install, it sounds great
and it’s priced right for today’s marketplace."
"The Atlantic/NetStreams system sounds great–you get every
bit of performance that the speakers are capable of," said Michael
Braithwaite, Senior Vice President of Technology for ClearOne.
"Atlantic speaker innovation, coupled with NetStreams digital precision
— it’s an unbeatable combination. Also, since we’re completely avoiding
the passive crossover, the speakers won’t suffer any insertion loss. As
a matter of fact, the system will play as much as 5dB louder which
means that the NetStreams’ 50-watt amplifiers behave like conventional
160-watt amplifiers."
Braithwaite continued, "This is the best of all worlds: a
super-clean digital signal with the exact crossover and equalization
data encoded for these Atlantic speakers, everything remains in the
digital domain, all the way from the recording studio until it reaches
the speakers."
AVAD is now taking orders for the ICTS-6.1-IP. MSRP is $125
per unit.
