ATLAS COMPACT MK III

Characteristics and sound properties

For those who feel that the ATLAS DSM MK III is just too high and too wide, the ATLAS COMPACT MK III could be just the thing. The aim here was to slim down the size of the cabinets without compromising the excellent sound characteristics of the ATLAS DSM MK III. If you want to cut down the volume of a speaker cabinet without losing too much of the lower bass range, you have to use a bass driver with a smaller diaphragm area. As far as the lower frequency extremes are concerned, the ratio of diaphragm surface area to cabinet volume is of the utmost importance. In this context, the TIW 360 8 Ohm is the ideal bass speaker and the AL 170 8 Ohm optimal as a low- to midrange unit. Of course, a 40 cm subwoofer will generate more bass power than a 30 cm driver simply because it has a larger diaphragm surface area. But the tremendous power generated by the TIW 360 8 Ohm with optimal bass reflex tuning, should easily provide sufficient bass volume for most applications. The use of the same medium and high-range cones as in the ATLAS DSM MK III ensures a close relationship in terms of sound quality with the larger model.
