Designed for Effective Sound Masking
As open office layouts continue to replace traditional private offices, maintaining conversational privacy has become increasingly important. The AtlasIED M1000-USA is specifically designed to reproduce the frequency spectrum required for sound masking systems, helping reduce speech intelligibility between workspaces while improving occupant comfort and productivity.
By distributing controlled masking sound throughout a facility, the M1000-USA helps create a more comfortable and confidential working environment in offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and government buildings.
Optimized Acoustic Performance
The M1000-USA incorporates a specially engineered 8-inch dual cone loudspeaker housed within a large 734 cubic inch enclosure to deliver the low-frequency response necessary for effective sound masking applications.
The enclosure design ensures smooth and consistent sound distribution, helping maintain proper masking levels throughout the covered space while minimizing unwanted acoustic variations.
Flexible 70V Transformer Taps
An integrated high-efficiency 70.7V transformer allows the speaker to be easily incorporated into distributed audio and sound masking systems. A conveniently accessible selector switch enables quick system tuning and provides multiple wattage options for adjusting output levels to meet project requirements.
- 0.25 Watt
- 0.5 Watt
- 1 Watt
- 2 Watts
- 4 Watts
- Off position for system adjustment and troubleshooting
Multiple Sound Dispersion Options
The M1000-USA offers versatile installation configurations to accommodate a wide variety of ceiling types and project requirements. The speaker may be installed for upward firing, downward firing, or horizontal sound dispersion, allowing designers and installers to optimize acoustic coverage based on room layout and ceiling construction.
Fast and Efficient Installation
AtlasIED's exclusive EZ Hang mounting system simplifies installation and reduces labor costs. The unit includes two factory-installed collapsible galvanized hanging brackets designed to support rapid mounting in multiple orientations.
The brackets fold flat during shipping and quickly deploy during installation, making the speaker ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Conduit-Ready Input Connections
To meet local electrical and building codes, the M1000-USA includes an innovative input cover that combines conduit knockouts and an integrated strain relief system. This design allows installers to use flexible or rigid conduit while easily accommodating through-connections when required.
An integrated wire strain relief located on the top of the enclosure provides secure cable management and helps ensure long-term reliability.
Plenum Rated Construction
Designed for installation above suspended ceilings and within air-handling spaces, the M1000-USA meets important safety and code requirements for commercial building applications.
- Approved for use in plenum air-handling spaces
- Suitable for suspended ceiling installations
- Compatible with open ceiling environments
- UL 1480 listed
- UL 2043 compliant
Made in the USA and BAA Compliant
The AtlasIED M1000-USA is proudly assembled in the company's Ennis, Texas manufacturing facility and complies with Buy American Act (BAA) requirements. This makes it an excellent choice for government projects, education facilities, military installations, and other applications where domestic sourcing requirements apply.
Optional Suspension Accessories
For even greater installation flexibility, the optional MCHAIN72 suspension chain kit provides approximately 78 inches (2 meters) of adjustable suspension length. This allows installers to quickly position the speaker at the desired height while simplifying alignment and system deployment.
