A truly state-of-the-art home theater system places extreme demands on a surround-sound

preamp/processor. With new surround-sound technologies emerging almost monthly,

a processor must offer all of the various flavors of Dolby and DTS, and be able to upgrade

as new technologies emerge. It must provide every type of audio and video connection in

common use, and be able to accommodate more as they are introduced. It must produce

the sound quality of audiophile-grade digital components, and the convenience features

demanded by custom installers.

In short, it must match the prodigious capabilities found

in ATI’s top-of-the-line preamp/processor, the ATP8500.1.

While the ATP8500.1 offers all of the surround-sound technologies that high-end home

theaters demand—Dolby Digital EX

and Pro Logic II

, and DTS ES-Discrete

—it can also be

upgraded as new technologies are developed, either from a computer via the ATP8500.1’s

RS232 interface, or through interchangeable EPROM memory chips. (A more basic model,

the ATP8500, is also available; it features Dolby Digital, Pro Logic, and DTS, and omits

Dolby Digital EX, Pro Logic II, and DTS-ES-Discrete. However, it can be upgraded with these

technologies at any time.)

Any existing audio/video source—an HDTV satellite receiver, a progressive-scan DVD

player, a DVD-Audio and/or SACD player—connects easily to the ATP8500.1. It even has

an AES/EBU digital connection for use with high-end CD and DVD transports. Balanced

XLR-type outputs for every channel make it ideal for use with ATI’s AT3000 and AT2000

Series Pure Balance

amplifiers. And no matter what new video or audio devices emerge,

the ATP8500.1 can be upgraded to accommodate them. We left ample space inside the chassis

and included a removable panel on the rear, so that new circuit boards and jacks can be

added in the future. No matter what video or audio equipment you own (or dream of owning),

the ATP8500.1 can accommodate it.

Custom installers will love

the ATP8500.1’s control

features. These include an

RS-232 jack that allows

easy interfacing with

control systems such as

Crestron

and AMX

touchscreen remotes, and

a second-zone output that

lets you listen to or watch

any audio or video source

in another room. Three

remote trigger outputs

can be programmed to

function only when

specific inputs are selected,

so you can trigger, say, a

motorized screen to drop

automatically when the

DVD input is selected.

The programmable, backlit

remote controls not only

the ATP8500.1, but every

other device in your

audio/video system, too.
