Monitor and adjust to ambient noise levels

The AtlasIED Atmosphere™ X-ANS is an ambient noise sensor that provides data for the Ambient Noise Compensation function in an Atmosphere AZM processor. That allows for automatic volume adjustment within a given zone based on how loud the environment is. To protect privacy, the sensor returns only data to the processor, not live audio.

The back of the unit features dual RJ-45 ports for connecting to an AZM processor or daisy-chaining up to four X-ANS sensors per zone.

Product highlights:

Product Research

Features

Overview: The AtlasIED X-ANS is a wall-mounted ambient noise sensor designed specifically for use with the Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC) and Loud Noise Detection (LND) functionality in an AtlasIED Atmosphere Zone Master Signal Processors, like the AZM4 or AZM8 (both sold separately). The X-ANS can be installed in zones where ambient noise levels can vary based on activity. This allows the ANC function to adjust audio levels so it can always be heard over the ambient noise level, either for voice announcements or background music. The X-ANS can also be used for Loud Noise Detection that can trigger alerts and actions based on a predetermined noise threshold.

Note: The Atlas X-ANS ambient noise sensor only sends data back to the host processor, not audio.

Sensor Range: The X-ANS has an audio pickup range of 30dB to 110dB SPL.

Connections: The X-ANS connects to the host processor via a CAT 5e/6 cable (sold separately). The rear panel features two RJ-45 sockets, allowing it to be "daisy-chained" together with additional Atlas Accessories, with a maximum cable distance of up to 1000'. Up to four X-ANS sensors can be used per zone on AZM processors, and up to 8 Accessory devices can be connected to a single AZM processor port. All Atmosphere accessories are designed to be "plug-and-play", with AZM audio processors automatically detecting and assigning appropriate audio settings for that device when connected.

Indicator: A front-panel LED will illuminate Blue when the X-ANS is active.

Installation: The AtlasIED X-ANS Ambient Noise Sensor can be mounted in a standard electrical box (sold separately) using the supplied mounting plate and screws. A decorative cover plate is included.

Audition speakers before you buy

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.

Our 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.
