Features
ATI A/V Processors ATI Power Amplifiers
Convection Cooling with Massive Heat Sinks
Many high power amplifiers use cooling fans that are not only loud, but also are dust
collectors. ATI instead uses more costly specially extruded large heat sinks so you can
place them anywhere in a room without having to worry about noise.
Huge Toroidal Transformers
The huge transformers used in ATI amplifiers employ MOH cores with bi-filar windings,
which we manufacture in our own factory.
Remote Triggers
All ATI amplifiers feature a 12V trigger that allows them to interface with control systems
so they can be turned on and off automatically, or from a remote control.
Optical Protection Circuit
This safety feature instantaneously disengages the amplifier’s output in an overload or
speaker short-circuit situation. If activated, this circuit will sample the condition every
10 seconds and restore output when the problem is cleared.
Ultra-Soft Turn-On
High power amplifiers draw a momentary-but tremendous- inrush of electrical current
when you turn them on. This will not happen because of ATI’s Ultra Soft Turn-On
circuitry that gradually powers up the amp to ease the load on household circuits.
Low Distortion/Low Noise
The exact “nature” of sound is a matter of individual choice and environmental conditions,
however distortion and noise are absolutely measurable in any situation. All ATI amps
are at the “cutting edge” of the lowest distortion and noise possible.
Class-A-B Operation
While there are numerous classes of amplifier design, Class A-B consistently is the choice
of audiophiles as well as the casual listener. This design offers the best transient response,
lowest distortion and noise and cool operation–thus prolonging the life of the amp.
Upgradeability
The AT 3000 Series, AT 2000 Series and AT 1800 Series are available in configurations
from 2 to 7 channels and are upgradeable at a modest cost, preventing costly obsolescence.
7-Year Warranty
All ATI amplifiers are backed by a 7-year parts and labor warranty when purchased in
accordance with our Warranty Policy.
