Definitive Audio Atlantis PA-8
Overview
The Atlantis PA-8 by Definitive Audio is a portable connected speaker that combines power, versatility, and autonomy. Designed to meet the needs of musicians, DJs, and demanding users, this all-in-one speaker offers a complete solution for mobile sound systems.
Impressive Sound Power in a Compact Format
The Atlantis PA-8 is equipped with an 8-inch main speaker for bass and midrange, complemented by three 2.75-inch full-range speakers. This configuration ensures balanced and powerful sound reproduction. With an RMS power of 120W + 3x40W and a maximum power of 240W + 3x80W, this speaker delivers clear and dynamic sound, capable of filling large spaces.
The frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz guarantees faithful reproduction across the entire audio spectrum. The maximum SPL level of 120 dB provides significant sound volume without distortion, making it ideal for outdoor events or medium-sized venues.
Comprehensive Connectivity for All Uses
The Atlantis PA-8 offers great flexibility with its numerous connection options. The built-in Bluetooth receiver allows wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, or computers. For wired sources, the speaker features two combo XLR/6.35 mm jack inputs, an RCA input, and a 3.5 mm mini-jack input.
Musicians will appreciate the reverb effect on one of the microphone inputs, as well as the Talk Over function with a switch for announcements. An unamplified XLR output also allows connection to an additional speaker to extend sound coverage.
Exceptional Battery Life for Nomadic Use
One of the major strengths of the Atlantis PA-8 is its built-in battery, offering extended autonomy. With a capacity of 5200 mAh, it provides up to 7 hours of use at full power or 12 hours at 50% power. This feature makes it an ideal solution for outdoor events, mobile activities, or street performances.
The speaker can also operate on mains power thanks to its universal 100-240V 50/60 Hz power supply, offering total flexibility. Charge and power status indicators make it easy to monitor the remaining battery life.
Optimized Sound for Every Situation
The Atlantis PA-8 includes several features to adapt the sound to different usage contexts. A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) offers 3 equalization modes depending on the speaker’s position: on the ground, on a stand, or tilted. This automatic optimization ensures optimal sound quality in any configuration.
A 3-band equalizer allows users to manually fine-tune the tonal balance according to their preferences or the acoustic characteristics of the venue. An integrated limiter protects the speaker from overloads, ensuring its longevity.
Robust and Ergonomic Design
Despite its high performance, the Atlantis PA-8 remains compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 425 x 535 x 377 mm and a weight of 9.4 kg. Its integrated carrying handle makes it easy to transport, while the 35 mm base allows it to be mounted on a standard speaker stand.
The Class D bi-amplification ensures high efficiency and limits overheating, contributing to the system’s reliability. The speaker’s robust construction allows it to withstand the rigors of transport and intensive use.
A Versatile Solution for Multiple Applications
Thanks to its technical features and versatility, the Atlantis PA-8 adapts to a wide range of uses. It is perfectly suited for:
- Musicians and DJs performing on the go
- Corporate conferences and presentations
- Commercial and event animations
- Outdoor fitness classes and sports activities
- Small-scale ceremonies and celebrations
- Sound systems for bar and restaurant terraces
Its ease of use and autonomy also make it a smart choice for associations and local communities needing a mobile and occasional sound solution.
