The new Atmos system is a complete, system independent surround miking system including the ASM5 microphone with the superb Brauner VM1 capsules. Ten years of experience in surround miking technology from SPL and Brauner 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. The Controller is now focused on basic features and can be complemented with further modules to meet individual demands, such as a remote control for the ASM5 pattern characteristics, and to reduce costs dramatically for a pure, high definition preamp/microphone setup.
