Hardware Overview

AZM4 and AZM8 Front Panel

1. WiFi Enable

Out of the box, the AZM is conﬁgured to connect to an existing network via the back panel ethernet port. However, there are two additional

methods for connecting to the AZM for conﬁguration, WiFi or Access Point mode, enabled from the front panel menu. If no existing network

is available, it is recommended that the onboard WiFi (Access Point mode) be used for initial conﬁguration.

2. Display

The Display is a multi-functional status interrogator and visual activity monitor. It is designed to provide “quick look” veriﬁcation of selections

when in front of the unit and when the UI is not handy. It also allows conﬁguration of network (ethernet, WiFi, and access point) settings.

When ﬁrst powering the AZM, the Display will show the IP address and the Outputs activity. At the bottom is the Menu > Navigation.

Pressing the Navigation control knob will step thru the menu tree in the following order:

• Zone Control – Change sources, volumes, and mute state in any zone. The user can also recall scenes. This has to be conﬁgured

within the UI before access is given.

• Network – See network status and settings; change mode between access point, WiFi, ethernet; change connection to available

networks by signal strength, enter SSID.

• I/O Signals – Select Inputs or Outputs individually and see signal activity.

• Accessories – See Accessories connected to Ports A, B, (AZM4) and A, B, C, or D (AZM8) select and read speciﬁc menu of Accessory

and ﬁnd location.

• Faults – Displays “Live” fault events only (“Live” faults also ﬂash light bar red). To clear a Live fault, you must resolve the issue.

Example: If two audio accessories (A-XLR, A-RCA, or A-BT) are plugged into the same bus-port, the fault doesn’t go away until

unplugging one of them.

• Sensor Data – Read temperature sensor data from I/O; CPU; PSU (power supply unit).

• System Clock – Read Time/Date; refresh NTP.

• Firmware Info – Read current ﬁrmware version and last updated Date/Time.

• Lock – Lock/Unlock menu display.

3. Navigation Control & Factory Reset

To cycle through display menus, press knob. To select an option, turn to move cursor & press.

To Factory Reset unit from the front panel, remove power and re-power, then press and hold front panel Navigation Control within 60 seconds.

Note: To save Settings prior to Factory Reset, go to Settings, Conﬁgurations and Save ﬁle to computer for upload after reset. When left

4. Light Bar System “State” Indicator

This indicator monitors the current state of the AZM.

• Blue = Unit powered ON and operating properly

• Flash RED = Live Fault is detected

If a Fault is indicated, use the Menu Display to navigate to “Faults”, and evaluate the source of the problem, or go to the UI Dashboard

and see Faults for speciﬁc cause. Fault is only cleared after resolving the issue. Typical issues that will trigger a Live Fault condition are:

• “Port Wall Plate Overload” – Too many controllers on the port.

• “Port Audio Wall Plate Overload” – Too many Audio Wall Plates on a port.

• “Product Wall Plate Overload” – too many Wall Plates plugged into the AZM.

• “Backwards Audio Error” – Audio Wall Plate connected backwards.

• “Critical Temp Error” – Temperature exceeds maximum acceptable value.

AZM8 Back Panel

AZM4 Back Panel

1. Balanced Mic/Line Inputs

Inputs 1-4 (AZM4) and 1-6 (AZM8) accept balanced input signals via the removable 3.5mm Phoenix type connector. For wiring, follow the labeling

on the rear of the AZM. For unbalanced signals, connect the (–) and (GND) pins together. Note: DSP conﬁguration and zone assigning are done in

the UI. Any Source Input can be assigned to any Zone Output.

Scenes page includes 4 types of voltage trigger settings that can be conﬁgured: Logic H, Logic L, Toggle, and Pulse along with Pulse

Time in 50ms increments, a common “C” terminal for output ports 1 & 2 for external equipment interfacing.

5. Accessory Ports

RJ45 (not-Ethernet) bus-ports A & B (AZM4) or A, B, C & D (AZM8) are used for connecting

Atmosphere Plug and Play accessories. All accessories are recognized by the UI automatically

when plugged in and can be assigned to any zone. Multiple bus-ports are provided to allow

more accessories to be used and to make it easier for installers to create cable homeruns.

To guarantee good performance of all connected accessories, follow these rules:

1. Use CAT5e or CAT6 (non-shield) cable to connect accessories to the host

processor bus-port.

2. Up to 8 Accessories can be daisy chained from a single port.

3. Up to 16 Accessories can be connected to a single AZM, (AZM4 or AZM8).

4. The maximum cable length from the AZM to the last accessory on the

chain is 1000’(305m).

5. One Audio Wall Plate (A-XLR, A-RCA, A-BT) can be used per bus-port. Note: See “Plug and Play Accessories Connection Rules” for more details. Note: A maximum of 8 X-ANS accessories can be used per AZM.

Cabling

Balanced Inputs & Outputs - Use of 2 conductor w/shield for low level signals of 20-22 gauge is best. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, – to – and shield to ground. Note: When using an unbalanced source on the 3.5mm Euro Connector, connect the GND to – with a jumper wire. (see unbalanced

image in connections guide).

For the RCA inputs, pre-made RCA cables can be purchased from AtlasIED to simplify interconnection to external devices.

https://www.atlasied.com/volume-controls-cables-audio-cables-unbalanced-audio

For RJ45 connections, use CAT5e or CAT6 (non-shield) network cable with T-568B or A wiring. Pre-made network cables must be pin-to-pin.

Do not use cross-over network cables. Always use best practices while terminating RJ45s to cables, keeping pairs twisted up to the connector. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the wire path. Note: Pre-made cables may be more difﬁcult to ﬁt in back boxes when used with accessory wall

plates. See line drawings with dimensions in the back of this manual for depth consideration.

Gate

1. Gates, sometimes referred to as Noise-Gates, are typically used to reduce noise from an open microphone when placed in a noisy environment by

turning off or reducing the gain until the intended signal is present. The signal must reach the threshold setting to open the Gate and allow the mic

to be heard. When the signal goes below the threshold, the Gate closes again. A common use for this feature is when making announcements in

noisy rooms. The Gate can be adjusted to keep the mic muted until someone walks up and speaks directly into it, thereby reducing the PA system

from amplifying the crowd chatter.

2. Enable the Gate and Active indicator.

3. The dynamic settings can be adjusted with left or right arrows or by entering the desired number. The dynamic settings are deﬁned as follows:

• Threshold: the signal level required to engage the Gate.

• Attack Time: amount of time to fully engage (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) after signal level increases beyond

the threshold.

• Hold Time: amount of time (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) is held after the signal level decreases below the threshold.

• Release Time: amount of time to fully disengage (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) after hold time has expired.

• Range: amount of gain reduction where -100 is totally off.

4. Graphic display of settings, the “T” is the Threshold that can be dynamically adjusted with a mouse.

5. The Gain Reduction (Range setting) shows Red when the Gate is engaging. In this example, the Gate is effectively shut because the signal is

below the Threshold setting required to open it.

De-Esser

1. De-Essers are used when a high frequency (around 5000Hz) sibilance (S-sounds) are too pronounced in speech. The objective is to

reduce the sibilance at the frequency where it is too loud.

2. Enable the De-Esser and Active indicator.

3. Settings: Frequency (Hz), Sensitivity, Amount (dB), Hold Time (ms), Release Time (ms)

• Frequency: the target frequency where the sibilance (S-sounds) is most pronounced.

• Sensitivity: how much level at the target frequency is required to engage De-Esser.

• Amount: amount of gain reduction applied after De-Esser engages.

• Hold Time: amount of time the De-Esser is held after the signal level decreases below the sensitivity setting.

• Release Time: amount of time to fully disengage after hold time has expired.

Example method of setting a De-Esser:

First ﬁnd the Frequency where the sibilance is worse case; start around 5KHz and move up/down with the “Amount” set high, +20dB or more to

emphasize issue. When the problem area is found, adjust the sensitivity so the De-Esser is only active when sibilance is present. Turn it up until

it is making the vocalist “Ss” and “Ts” hard to hear, then dial back a bit. Set the “Amount” (gain reduction) lower until it sounds more natural.

“Hold” should be longer than the sibilance & “Release Time” should typically be between 8 and 18ms, so it can’t be easily noticed.

4. The display can be used dynamically to move the curve while listening.

5. This meter shows the activity of the Gain Reduction in real time to help adjust as necessary.

Compressor

Atmosphere

User Manual

1. A compressor is a dynamic setting that can automatically reduce peaks in volume and smooth out a radically changing signal. It is used differently

depending on what instrument or signal is being tamed. Compressing reduces the peak levels by squashing the sound into more even levels,

reducing channel clipping, while remaining loud. A good setting sounds natural and rich. The art of setting up a compressor correctly takes some

practice. While learning, subtle changes are a good routine.

2. Enable the Compressor and Active indicator.

3. Settings: Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack Time, Hold Time, Release Time, Makeup Gain.

• Threshold: The signal level required to engage the Compressor.

• Ratio: The amount of reduction compared to signal when compressing.

• Knee: The smoothing curve at the Threshold.

• Attack Time: The amount of time to fully engage the Compressor after signal level increases beyond the threshold.

• Hold Time: The amount of time Compression is held after the signal level decreases below the threshold.

• Release Time: The amount of time to fully disengage the Compressor after hold time has expired.

• Makeup Gain: This is a way to level up gain that is reduced by the Compression.

4. Display of compression curve with dynamic Threshold, Knee, and Gain Reduction that can be adjusted by mouse, or touch and see-hear

to this channel

When stepping to a microphone, everyone speaks with a different level of voice projection; some almost whisper and some sound like they are

shouting. Background music levels can be inconsistent between tracks. These are just a couple examples of issues the Auto-Gain Control (AGC) can

help solve. Auto-Gain attempts to maintain a consistent output level regardless of variations in input level. This allows an integrator to set target input

source levels for a room, letting the Auto-Gain maintain levels “in-target range” so adjusting controls is not necessary.

1. The input channel remains accessible for adjustment while using setup pages.

2. Enable-ON/OFF (bypass)

3. Dynamic settings: Threshold, Target Level, Target Window, Max Boost/ Cut, Speed.

• Threshold: Auto-Gain will only be active when the input signal’s RMS levels exceed the threshold setting.

• Target Level: This is the RMS level which Auto-Gain attempts to maintain.

• Target Window: When AGC output level is within the Target Window, AGC does not modify the gains. This is a sort of hysteresis

control which helps AGC avoid being over-active once the general target gain has been reached. 15 dB is a good general setting for

speech or music. Reduce the window to keep output levels closer to the target. Increase the window if AGC is causing noticeable

“pumping” gain movements during normal operation.

• Max Boost/ Cut: These dictate how much gain the algorithm can boost/ cut as it attempts to maintain the required output level.

• Speed: How fast Auto-Gain adjusts gains to maintain the requested output level. Note: A higher “Speed” is likely to produce the best results for voice while a slower “Speed” setting is best for background

music applications.

Ambient Noise Compensation - ANC

Ambient Noise Compensation works in conjunction with the X-ANS (Ambient Noise Sensor Accessory; see X-ANS install placement rules). The X-ANS

is installed in the zone where the noise levels vary depending on activity and where the audio level needs to be managed so it can always be heard. For

example, this can be used for keeping an announcement clear and intelligible above the changing ambient noise in the zone. This function allows ambi-

ent noise to control zone output level settings based on the ambient noise sensor’s SPL when placed in the zone to be controlled. The sensor’s dedicat-

ed ﬁlter helps it determine the noise to react to, and what to ignore, essentially “compensating” for the difference between the ambient noise and the

audio levels; for example, an arcade area when full of people playing games vs when no one is playing games. The ambient noise sensor provides only

data back to the AZM and ANC feature so it cannot be “listened” to, and doesn’t carry any privacy concerns. The settings page shows SPL readings to

help establish range and levels. It also has an Auto mode where the system learns the ideal compensation gain settings from user adjustments to the

zone’s output levels. The Auto mode is very powerful and improves the all-around audio in a changing room.

1. Select to open the Ambient Noise Compensation settings page.

2. Enable On/bypass

3. ANC Parameters

• Slope – How much dB gain to apply per dB change in noise level

• Attack – Gain increase rate in dB/second

• Release – Gain decrease rate in dB/second

• Sensitivity – Default 0. Set high enough to detect changes in ambient noise, and low enough to avoid false detections of system

audio as ambient noise. If ANC cannot detect ambient noise while avoiding false noise detections, the ANS sensor should be moved

closer to the noise source and farther from the speakers.

4. ANC will actively modify gains when ambient noise lies within this range.

5. Panel for assigning and viewing X-ANS sensors. When Ambient Noise Sensors are connected, this panel displays the Estimated Noise SPL

of each assigned X-ANS sensor.

• Note: You may not see SPL information immediately after assigning an X-ANS sensor. The sensor takes 1-2 minutes to boot after

plugging in, and ANC takes 10-30 seconds after that to train its adaptive ﬁlter before delivering SPL estimates.

• Note: In a large Zone, multiple Ambient Noise Sensors can be assigned to a single zone. When multiple sensors are used, the

SPL results are averaged to avoid over-reaction to local noise hotspots.

6. Enables Auto Mode. Like a smart thermostat, the system will learn the ideal noise-compensating gains to apply as the end-user adjusts zone gains

while the ANS sensor is assigned to the zone. Because of this, Auto Mode should be used in a system where the end-user will have control over

zone gains via Main UI, Virtual Wall Controller, or C-V / C-ZSV accessories. After a few gain adjustments at the various ambient noise levels experi-

enced in the zone, the system will be custom calibrated to react to the noise in a manner consistent with the end-user’s speciﬁc preferences.

7. Reset Auto Mode Target – This control resets the Auto Mode system to allow a fresh start for re-training the algorithm. Note: It is recommended to use Auto-Gain on the source audio feeding the ANC algorithm. This facilitates a more consistent output signal level to

help ensure that customers can hear the source audio in the affected zone.

Ambient Noise Sensor Placement

Correct placement of the X-ANS Ambient Noise Sensor is a critical, aspect of a good system installation. The X-ANS provides real-time noise level

measurements to the Atmosphere’s system that, in turn, allows the system to continuously adjust the zone output level to maintain an intelligible

announcement above the current noise level in the zone. No system calibration is required, because the Ambient Noise Compensation system uses

advanced adaptive ﬁlters to differentiate between system audio and ambient noise.

The sensors must be placed in a location within each zone to allow for optimal detection of the ambient noise level while maintaining the ability to

distinguish between the noise and the PA system. This location is dependent on the speaker placement and the acoustical characteristics of the space

where the sensor is located. Due to this complexity, there is no single rule to deﬁne exact sensor placement. However, there are ﬁve basic rules that

should always be considered when placing the X-ANS Ambient Noise Sensor.

RULE 1: The distance between the sensor and the audience should be less than the distance between the sensor and the loudspeaker.

In most installations, the sensor will be placed in the ceiling located in the zone that it will control. The ANC system uses an adaptive ﬁlter to “learn”

what the audio system contributes to the overall zone ambient noise level and then ﬁlter that portion out of the calculation when adjusting the level.

When sensors are placed too close to the loudspeaker, the direct sound from the loudspeaker effectively masks the ambient noise from the sensor.

While the algorithm should prevent the system from turning the level up based on the speaker output, the level will not properly track in real time as

levels change since the sensor cannot properly detect the current level of ambient noise. Placing the sensor in a location that allows it to be closer to

the source of the noise than the adjacent speakers will prevent the masking effect from impairing the performance of the system.

RULE 2: The sensor must be placed far enough away from the audience as not to pick up on individual conversations.

Placing the sensor too close to the source of ambient noise will cause the system to adjust primarily based on noise in one small location. In most

systems, the ambient noise that is being detected is due to crowds of people moving into and out of the zone. If a sensor is placed too close to the

crowd, it will pick up on individual conversations and the system will adjust based only on the isolated conversation. The sensor should be located

where it will pick up the cumulative level of all conversations in the space. Multiple X-ANS sensors can be assigned to a single zone to help prevent

over-reaction to a noise source in one speciﬁc part of the zone.

Note: The X-ANS sensor is not a microphone and does not pick up audio and transmit it back to the system. It converts levels to data and passes

this level information back to the system. Therefore, there are no concerns that the system can violate any privacy.

RULE 3: Do not place a sensor at the edge of a zone where it will pick up sound from adjacent zones.

Placing the sensor too close to the edge of a zone can result in the level of the zone being adjusted based on program audio generated in the adjacent zone.

Since the ANC algorithm only analyzes audio from the zone where the sensor resides, audio created by the PA system in an adjacent zone could cause the

level of the parent zone to change. Placing the sensor in a centralized location within the zone will minimize the impact of audio from adjacent zones.

RULE 4: The sensor should be placed towards the middle of the zone with nearly equal distance between the sensor and immediately adjacent loudspeakers.

The reason behind this rule is to prevent similar issues encountered when considering Rule 1. If a sensor is located too close to any one speaker, the

sound from that speaker could easily mask the ambient noise level from the sensor while an announcement is in progress. Since one sensor is usually

placed in a zone with many loudspeakers, it is best to place the sensor where it is nearly equidistant from the immediately adjacent loudspeakers.

RULE 5: In spaces with high ceilings, place the sensor along a side wall at a location 6 to 12 feet above the listener.

High ceiling spaces present a unique set of problems. In certain spaces, the ambient level near the top of the high ceiling does not vary signiﬁcantly

enough to match the noise changes near the ﬂoor. In this type of space, a sensor located in the high ceiling may lose its effectiveness. This problem

is compounded when multiple zones are included in the same high-ceiling area. The ambient level is a culmination of the noise from all zones in the

space. Therefore, it is usually best to place the sensors on a side wall or support column. This allows the sensor to be placed closer to the noise source

and allows adherence to the previously mentioned rules. With this mounting location, adherence to Rule 2 is now more difﬁcult. In order to provide

proper level detection, the sensor should be located between 6 and 12 feet above the head of the listener. This would place the sensor between

approximately 12 and 18 feet above the ﬂoor. This allows the sensor to be placed at a point that will reduce the effects of noise sources that are located

close to the sensor location. As in Rule 2, multiple sensors may also be used to help avoid overreaction to localized noise sources.

Limiter

Atmosphere

User Manual

1. The Output Limiter is used primarily for taming transient peaks to keep the output signal strength below a speciﬁed level. This can help prevent

damage to loudspeakers in the event of unintended loud signals like the drop of a microphone.

2. Enable On/bypass and Active indicator.

3. Protection for the output can be adjusted with the following parameters:

• Threshold – level where the limiter starts limiting

• Knee – controls the abruptness of the limiting as audio nears the threshold

• Attack Time – how fast the limiter engages

• Hold Time – how long it stays in limit mode after peaks drop below threshold

• Release Time – how fast the limiter stops after hold time.

4. This shows a signal output being limited to -26dB, and the input signal is being reduced (Gain Reduction) slightly. If the gain reduction is signiﬁcant,

reducing the source level will reduce the amount of Gain Reduction needed, without changing the output level at the zone. These settings can

help smooth out the limiter’s effect, so the audio sounds natural while still protecting the speakers in the system. Too much limiter will destroy the

dynamic range of music.
