Atlantic Launches New AT-2 H-PAS Bookshelf Speakers

The 16" speakers boast frequency response as low as 41Hz.

The folks over at Atlantic have put their H-PAS technology into a pair of bookshelf speakers that are able to produce distortion free bass at frequencies down to 41Hz. That's a good chunk lower than most other speakers of the same size and specs.

Atlantic's AT-2 utilizes a 5-1/4" long-excursion woofer and a 1-1/8" tweeter to reproduce the highs and lows. The tweeter is the same one you'll find in the AT-1 and has a crossover frequency of 2,200Hz.

Atlantic Technology president, Peter Tribeman says that the H-PAS algorithm has worked remarkably well in adaptation to the smaller AT-2. He adds, "These new bookshelf speakers are going to have lots of people looking futilely for a hidden subwoofer."

The AT-2 is available now at $1,800 a pair.

Atlantic Technology's WA-50 Gives You 300 Feet of Wireless Audio

The new wireless solution eliminates the need to run audio cable to subs and rear speakers.

There's a lot to love about a great home theater, but there's plenty to lament as well. Running cables for example. It can be a pain, especially if you end up with spaghetti hiding behind your television. Cords can be an eyesore too, ruining the look of an otherwise classy room.

The WA-50 is designed to eliminate those problems. Using a transmitter and receiver, you can send wireless stereo audio up to 300 feet with line-of-sight, or 150 feet through walls. You can hook up powered subs and rear speakers, or pump sound to another room.

You'll need powered speakers for the WA-50 to work, and you'll need a receiver for each of the speakers you want to send sound to. The WA-50 can be had for $199, with each extra receiver coming in at $89.
