ATEN Advance, the leading AV/IT connectivity and management solutions provider, has launched three new products in their all-new Audio range of products the latest ceiling speakers AS104, AS106 and power amplifier AP106 to power them. Both speakers are ideal for residence and enterprise-grade audio applications, such as auditoriums, houses of worship and small or mid-sized commercial spaces that require a clear and intelligible sound solution. AP106 is perfect for upgrading commercial or residential Pro AV systems where maintaining ultra-low distortion while exhibiting exceptional sound quality is required.
The AS104 comes in a pair of 4” coaxial 2-way and AS106 comes in a pair of 6.5” coaxial 2-way ceiling loudspeakers. Phase issues are minimized as a result of the adoption of the coaxial neodymium magnetic driver, making sound waves with various frequency bands easier to be added together instead of cancelling each other out. Both are switchable for use as either an 8 Ω low-impedance speaker or as part of a 70V / 100V distributed loudspeaker system. They have UL94-V0 compliance for life safety applications. The speakers have a paintable magnetic grille for blending into any room décor. They are ease of installation guaranteed with the magnetic grille, dog leg mounting system and cutout template.
AS104 comes with unique specifications:
1. Coaxial design with premium components:
- 4” high output driver with rubber surround and heavy-duty voice coil
- 20 mm dome tweeter
2. 100 – 20 kHz bandwidth with wide coverage for consistent, full-range coverage of the space while reducing the number of speakers needed
AS106 comes with unique specifications:
1. Coaxial design with premium components:
- 6.5” high output driver with rubber surround and heavy-duty voice coil
2. 80 – 20 kHz bandwidth with wide coverage for consistent, full-range coverage of the space while reducing the number of speakers needed
The AP106 is a 60W power amplifier with Hi-Z outputs capable of driving 70 V / 100 V audio systems. The support for balanced/unbalanced line-level inputs enables superior sound quality and installation flexibility. With Class D efficiency, the amplifier comes in a smaller, lighter enclosure, yet runs cooler compared with other classes of amplifiers with the same amount of power. Built to be energy-efficient, the amplifier enters Power Saving Mode when no audio input is detectable in 30 minutes and turns back on when a source is detected.
AP106 comes with unique specifications:
1. Delivers extra headroom to accommodate transient audio peaks and prevent distortion
2. Fanless design eliminates operation shutdown caused by fan malfunction and ensures the amplifier not to be vulnerable to outside elements
3. Compact, sealed casing approves of hidden placement even in the dusty environments
4. Provides a wide range of professional audio equipment with easy, secure connectivity:
- Supports balanced and unbalanced line inputs on a Euroblock connector and a TRS jack (unbalanced input only)
- Output for high-Z via a Euroblock connector
- AC power on IEC receptacle for overseas operation
5. Bi-directional RS-232 serial port allows for firmware upgrades and easy integration with ATEN’s Control System
6. Perfect for upgrading commercial or residential Pro AV systems where maintaining ultra-low distortion while exhibiting exceptional sound quality is required
