The innovative design of the F6-MF allows the amplifier to be configured to suit the individual amplification and sound system requirements of a variety of applications. This functionality makes the F6-MF the most flexible, energy efficient amplifier on the market today.
is designed to route any and all available energy to the channels that require it. This innovative feature known as Power Rail Direct Coupling™, or PRDC, technology enables channels that demand more energy to benefit from the pooled resources so it can deliver more power, more efficiently”
The F6-MF chassis can be fitted with up to six uniquely engineered amplifier modules. The straight­path design of the F6-MF is the essence of simplicity; yielding clean, accurate, and dynamic sound. The FM250-4 (4Ω/8Ω) and FM250-70 (70.7V) power modules can be loaded into any of the six F6-MF amplifier card slots and are designed to deliver up to 250 Watts per channel.
The Ultra Fast recovery switch mode power supply is routed to each output module through quad-ganged connector contacts, to minimize the impedance path allowing for maximum current delivery. Each amplifier module includes its own power supplied, high-current, low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitors which provide immediate local, on demand current. This allows each channel to produce clean, instantaneous, high­impact audio power. The direct coupled power supply
FM250-70 and FM250-4
The F6-MF Chassis can be purchased with up to six FM250-4 modules, up to six FM250-70 modules, or in any combination. Additional modules can also be ordered as needed to satisfy future system or purchasing requirements. The input design of the F6-MF is based on an open architecture concept, permitting application and installation flexibility. Six balanced inputs via Phoenix termination feed a variety of optional accessory interface cards, coming soon.
The F6-MF offers an Energy Save Mode called “Standby”. The amplifier can be turned on remotely via a Contact Closure (CC) or a DC Voltage of 5V – 24V. A LED located on both the Front & Rear panels of the F6­MF indicates the operation mode of the amplifier.
The FM250 power modules are loaded with useful features including front and rear channel status indicators, selectable gain, signal limiters, 100Hz Hi-Pass filter, bridge mode operation, and tamper­proof level controls. The FM250 Series Power Modules are designed to be 90% efficient, allowing the amplifier to run cooler and consume less energy than conventional commercial amplifiers

Professional grade audio power amplifiers specifically designed for demanding contractor applications feature esoteric grade toroidal power supply and output transformers. These transformers were chosen for their outstanding reliability as well as extended frequency response (-3 dB @ 30 Hz - 70.7V output through transformer).
Now you can have the peace of mind that systems will have true transformer output isolation, a feature that previously may have not been affordable due to the cost of quality external transformers. Independent channels are driven by separate power supplies to ensure maximum channel separation and ultra low distortion figures while providing years or faithful service. Whether your application is a large distributed constant voltage sound system or a high SPL s ound reinforc ement system, the Atlas Sound CP Series is the perfect answer.

The PA702 pole-mount amplifier system from Atlas Sound provides an innovative solution for display systems that require local sound reinforcement.
Since the first projector was pole mounted in a ceiling, there has been a real quandary about how to best provide local amplification. The PA702 pole mount amplifier is a very elegant solution to solve this issue.
The PA702 includes a unique (patent pending) mounting pole installation process via a sealed hole incorporated into the chassis design. Simply install the projector mounting pole, align the amplifier chassis hole with the 1.5" mounting tube, and clamp the unit at the desired height above the projector mount with the innovative pole clamp system included with the PA702. Afterwards, install the projector as normal. As an additional benefit, the chassis “hole” mounting system provides the necessary security to help deter theft.
Output is a strong 70 watts x 2 from the efficient rail tracking Class AB and switch mode power supply technology.
The PA702 includes a host of other innovative features such as an accessory outlet with AC current sense that allows the amplifier to respond instantly from stand-by mode when the projector is powered on remotely. Also featured are separate audio sense turn-on, balanced phoenix style and unbalanced RCA input connections, front panel status LEDs, and recessed screwdriver adjustable tone and level controls.
The slim profile chassis is also designed to work in a rack mount configuration. An optional rack mount kit, PA702-RMK allows single or dual mounting of the PA702 in a 1 RU high configuration.

The Atlas Sound PA1001G amplifier can be used for a number of applications. This amplifier features an ultra compact design requiring only 1RU in height and ½ rack wide in space. The 100W into a 70V or 100V distributed system gives the power to meet most amplifier demands. The patent pending through hole chassis design makes it convenient to use with ceiling mounted video projectors.
One or two units can be rack mounted also allowing it to be used in more traditional applications. Remote turn on is easily accomplished by either audio or AC trigger sensors. If focused power is required, an optional Hi­pass filter is incorporated. Master remote level control is easily done via an external 10k potentiometer and a line out makes it easy to daisy chain amplifiers. The PA1001G can be used in many ways ranging from boardroom, restaurant, commercial paging and back ground music applications.
The PA1001G has incorporated a mixer function that allows you connect two different sources to the amp. The summed RCA unbalanced inputs and the balanced input are electrically summed together and are electrically isolated from each other. RCA inputs level controls are “Pre” the front panel master controls. This allows you to feed a balanced signal from one source and apply a second source signal to the unbalanced RCA input and mix the levels via the RCA level on the bottom of the amp.
Then you can adjust the overall system level via the Front panel Master level. A common application would be to feed a wireless microphone’s output signal to the balanced input and feed a CD or computer audio output to the RCA unbalanced input. Adjust the RCA input level to the microphone level until you achieve the balance you need and then adjust the master level to the room.
