Product Description
Atlas Sound AZM8 Atmosphere 8-Zone Audio Processor
Overview
The AZM8 is the heart of the Atmosphere™ audio control system and offers custom solutions for a wide variety of spaces with its powerful DSP and innovative algorithms. Features like a built-in message player, virtual wall controllers, auto-gain, learning ambient noise sensing, Tilter Filter™, GPIO, scheduler, and many more make the AZM8 a processing powerhouse.
There are six Atmosphere™ accessories for control, ambient noise sensing, and remote audio input, and the AZM8 can connect up to 16 of these plug-and-play units with its four accessory ports, each designed to work reliably up to 1000 feet.
Programming is done through a modern on-board web interface, optimized around common use cases. In addition to ethernet connectivity, built-in Wi-Fi allows tablets and other controlling devices to connect directly to the AZM8.
Features
- Onboard Wi-Fi to use as an access point or connect to existing Wi-Fi network
