Prism Sound Atlas

Prism Sound Atlas – high-end USB audio interface with 8 mic preamps, 2 instrument inputs, 2 headphone outputs, 10 digital I/Os, Overkiller limiters on each analog channel, and an onboard DSP mixer.

The Prism Sound Atlas is a multichannel professional-grade audio interface designed for recording, mixing, overdubbing, mastering, and summing applications. Suitable for both high-end studio use and personal production, it offers 8 ultra-transparent microphone preamps with -130 dBu EIN and individual 48V phantom and 20 dB pad switches. All analog inputs feature Prism Sound’s Overkiller limiters, ensuring signal protection without compromising fidelity.

With 8 analog inputs and up to 10 digital I/Os available simultaneously, the interface allows for up to 20 independent playback channels. The internal DSP mixer provides ultra-low latency monitoring, including level, pan, mute, and solo controls. A dedicated front panel offers two independent headphone outputs, each with individual volume control. The MDIO expansion slot enables compatibility with Pro Tools | HDX and AES3, and future interface formats, ensuring a future-proof system. Features like MS matrix for mic inputs, RIAA EQ on inputs 1–2, and Prism Sound’s 4-curve SNS digital noise shaping make Atlas a powerful hub for critical recording and postproduction work.
