Atlantic Technology AZ820 - AZURE Series In-Ceiling Speaker

Atlantic Technology - 8" Tri-Mode In-Ceiling Speaker (EACH).
Description

Coming Soon!

The AZURE™ AZ820 two-way speakers deliver the famous Atlantic Sound for your music and home-theater special effects anywhere you wish. The AZ820 are the perfect option for higher quality Home Theater LCR's or Surround Multi-Purpose In-Ceiling Architectural Speakers.

These versatile multi-purpose speakers feature the latest premium material and component advancements from Atlantic Technology to deliver outstanding sonic performance. The woofer cone is made of our advanced formed Fiberglass material used in our latest award-winning flagship 8600 series in-room home theater speakers. And the coated silk-dome 30° pivoting wide dispersion LRT™ tweeter is coupled with an audiophile grade computer optimized cross-over composed of precision components.

In addition to aiming the tweeter, front mounted tweeter level controls further optimize the speaker to its surroundings. Their discreet profile with a new ultra-thin bezel design using magnetically attached paintable grilles and a host of optional accessories make installations fast and easy for a professional result. Their rugged design, outstanding sound quality voiced to match Atlantic home theater systems and simple flexible installation make them a perfect complement to Atlantic Technology box or in-wall speakers.

Following on from Atlantic's outstanding history with well regarded in-ceiling home theater speakers, the AZ820's are also a 'Tri-Mode' speaker - leading them to be a highly adaptive option for any serious installation professional or enthusiast.

What is a Tri-Mode In-Ceiling Speaker?
  • Mono/Stereo Jumpers - The back of the speaker has two sets of gold-plated push to connect spring loaded speaker cable terminals and a set of jumpers which modify the speaker configuration for mono or stereo operation.
  • Conventional (Mono) – With the jumper set to mono, the dual voice coil woofers and dual silk dome tweeters produce superlative sound for standard stereo music reproduction when speakers are used in pairs.
  • Single-Point Stereo – With the jumper set to stereo, these speakers can be wired to deliver full 2-channel stereo sound from a single loudspeaker, giving you great sound quality with only one unobtrusive thin-bezel grille showing. This is ideal for small spaces like a dressing area/master closet or a small hallway where installing two separate speakers is impractical.
  • Dipole/Bipole Switch - Each AZURE™ 20 series speaker has a convenient front mounted Dipole/Bipole switch which optimizes the speaker for different placement, operation and surroundings.
  • Dipole Mode - The speaker delivers ambient diffuse sound with minimal localization ideal for surround movie or video soundtracks creating a convincing, immersive three-dimensional surround sound. This TriVector™ mode is a preferred setting for side channel or rear channel speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 surround system. The tweeters can be pivoted away from the listening positions to further reduce localization and create a more diffuse surround effect.
  • Bipole Mode - This produces a more localizable sound that’s generally preferred for music recordings.
