Video: AtlasIED Atmosphere audio systems for commercial spaces

A flexible system that's easy to expand and easy to use

by Crutchfield's Video Team

When we decided to overhaul the audio system in our main warehouse, we turned to our commercial design team. They are a group within Crutchfield that helps business design and implement audio systems for their commercial spaces, like a coffee chop, a bar, a church...or a warehouse.

Our team decided on the AtlasIED Atmosphere system, since it has the flexibility and scalability our warehouse needed. The system is not only for music, but also for announcements and bells, all in multiple zones with their own volume needs. The Atmosphere system has it all, and it has transformed the work environment in our distribution center.

So the right commercial audio system can elevate any business, and for the Crutchfield Warehouse, Atlas Atmosphere was a no-brainer. My name is Dolly, and I'm a commercial design specialist here at Crutchfield. I design and sell audio and video systems for businesses. Recently we updated the entire audio system in our main Distribution Center. We needed multiple zones and sources, but most of all we needed ease of use and control, and that's where the Atlas Atmosphere is such a perfect fit. It's an incredibly robust family of products that allows you to sculpt an audio system that's tailored specifically to your environment. While the audio system in our warehouse is much larger than what most businesses would need, the Atmosphere can actually scale and work in a small restaurant, boutique gyms, even a car wash. We also use it for larger applications like athletic facilities, grocery stores, and large retail environments. It truly acts as the brain for your audio system and it gives you the tools you need to control the sound in your space. We needed a system that could do multi-zone paging, play background music, and allow for scheduling of bells to alert our employees of breaks and lunch, and when to go home. Atlas atmosphere is incredibly easy to control. There is an interface you can use on your desktop, tablet, or even your phone. We installed over a hundred speakers to keep the atmosphere upbeat, and let people totally rock out while they worked. It's really important here at Crutchfield. This Atlas Atmosphere system was the perfect solution for us. It was easy to integrate and extremely versatile. To find out if Atlas would be right for you, get in touch with us. Every business has unique needs, and our commercial design team is dedicated to finding a solution for you. Contact us for a free consultation and design.

How it works

SpeakerCompare^™ simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you're using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that's why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield's SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We've carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It's available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.

Sound profile:

Warm

Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.

Neutral

A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.

Bright

Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
