After approximately 6,000 cumulative hours of research and development, mechanical and electronic prototyping, card debugging, programming with the development of exclusive processing, testing, and measuring (electrical, acoustic, mechanical, and thermal), we are pleased and proud to present our ATOHM RS700 power amplifier.
This highly innovative and resolutely "hi-fi" power amplifier is based on a "dual mono" structure controlled by a high-performance analog/digital card integrating a DSP. Its signal processing capabilities are used to drive the power stages (limiting, soft clipping, phase and amplitude correction, etc.) but also and above all to offer advanced coupling of this amplifier with speakers through exclusive processing based, among other things, on our knowledge of electroacoustics and, ultimately, on the exact specifications of our coupled driver units & enclosures.
The culmination of such a project requires a very significant amount of expertise in many fields. We have largely favored French partners for development as well as for the manufacturing of parts and cards. Thus, the design of the main cards (DSP) and ventilation is the result of a close technical partnership with SOLEDGE, specialized in the design of audio-digital circuits. The production of these "SMD" cards is then entrusted to a highly qualified French Alsatian company with exceptional machinery. The sheet metal work, just as technical, is also carried out in France. In the end, this unit is entirely assembled, wired, tested, and programmed in our workshops.
The device's topology, vast programming and digital chaining possibilities make the ATOHM RS700 base very versatile. We have thus developed a version totally dedicated to WATERFALL AUDIO. Other specific versions for dedicated applications will therefore be gradually introduced.
In this first ATOHM "RS700 GT EDITION" opus, we offer a power unit operating in 4 modes. The first mode allows driving any type of speaker with (high)power, dynamism, finesse, and precision. The U-GUARD processing limits the power stages just before they saturate and provides smooth clipping. Just like for the other 3 modes, this first setup allows, if necessary, filtering (digitally) the speakers in "high pass" in order to truly relieve them in the bass and to associate one or two subwoofers to relay them in the lower spectrum.
The other three modes are specific to each model of our GT SERIES speakers. Amplification and speakers then function in symbiosis. The exclusive X-GUARD™, T-GUARD™, U-GUARD™, and X-TEND™ processing come into play, allowing to increase the performance of our speakers in order to get the ultimate quintessence out of them. Consequently, they ensure unparalleled operation, even when reproducing musical tracks with sometimes explosive dynamics!
