ATP 8500 and 8500.1

The ATP8500 Audio Video Preamp Processor is a truly unique product. More than just a preamplifier, the ATP8500 is a complete control center. The ATP8500 allows the casual user or the most experienced custom installer the ability to customize even the most complex installations. ATI has successfully combined the purest sonic capabilities with the most advanced set of features/functions in the industry. ATI is the first to incorporate a 5-inch color monitor on the front panel to facilitate initial setup and future programming. This onboard monitor previews most video sources including menus from DSS systems. The ATP8500 also features balanced outputs and an AES/EBU Digital Input for devices such as DAT players.
