Introduction

Dear customer,

thanks for using the Atmos 5.1 system. We wish you have as much fun working with 
it as we had during the development of this extraordinary recording equipment.

The complete Atmos 5.1 system includes Atmos 5.1 controller, the Adjustable 
Surround Microphone 5 (ASM 5), a separate power supply unit and a multicore cable 
(length ca. 25 meters/27.5 yards).

The Atmos 5.1 system allows to record the original event and all of its authentic 
spatial content with highest precision. It demonstrates the signifi cant difference  
between discrete surround recordings and artifi cial surround mixes with breath-
taking results. To reliably achieve these amazing results, the Atmos 5.1 provides 
everything you need to record virtually any audio event. 

Due to its analog structure, the audio signals are compatible with any common 
surround format—DVD-A, DVD-V, SACD, AC3, DTS, MLP... you name it, Atmos 5.1 can 
deliver it.

With its ingenious ASM 5 „star frame“ array based on Brauner VM1 mic elements 
and custom-designed, hand-built Atmos 5.1 controller, this unique system offers an 
unparalleled combination of uncompromising audio quality and ultimate fl exibility.

Most  importantly, the Atmos 5.1 system is a breeze to use and can be set up in 
minutes, arming you for the most convincing 5.1 recordings you‘ve ever experi-
enced.
