If you work in security, you already live in the low-voltage world—access control, intrusion, cameras, networks. Yet many integrators hesitate when they hear “70-volt” or “100-volt” loudspeakers, assuming they’re dealing with something closer to an electrician’s scope. In reality, 70V/100V speaker systems are generally considered low-voltage, power-limited audio circuits, designed for the same types of commercial buildings where you already run cable every day.

When you’re designing a commercial audio system, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is how to structure the core electronics. Should you use a powered DSP (a DSP with built-in amplification)? Or do you build around a separate DSP and amplifier architecture? That choice affects how quickly the system installs, how easy it is to expand later, and how reliably it performs over time. Pick the wrong approach and you can end up with bottlenecks, workarounds, or expensive redesigns.

Have you ever struggled to understand a PA announcement or live presenter, even with a sound system? Clear communication is critical—whether it’s a gate change in an airport, a hospital emergency page, or a sermon in a house of worship. Yet we often strain to hear because challenging acoustical spaces make speech difficult to understand, despite amplification. Why? The answer lies in the hidden complexity of challenging acoustical spaces.

The benefits of cloud connectivity for hardware and device manufacturers and their customers can be substantial. Yet hardware manufacturers remain understandably hesitant to connect their devices to the cloud – primarily owing to security concerns. What are the key capabilities manufacturers need to effectively secure devices and enjoy the full potential of revenue, functionality and user experience that device connectivity offers?

For over 90 years, AtlasIED has been a recognized leader in commercial audio innovation, delivering high-quality audio and communication technology solutions to diverse commercial environments. Our in-ceiling loudspeakers embody our commitment to innovation, featuring patented designs that make installation easier, safer, and more efficient, while delivering exceptional audio quality. One such patent is our “dogleg” toolless mounting mechanism for some of our most popular in-ceiling.

AtlasIED’s AS Series loudspeakers are expertly "voiced" for a consistent, balanced sound across all models. Voicing ensures each speaker shares the same sonic signature, creating seamless, high-quality audio in multi-speaker setups. This prevents tonal mismatches and listener fatigue, delivering a harmonious experience in any space.

Audiovisual systems integrators are embracing the transformative power of remote monitoring tools. Integrators can streamline operations, deliver unmatched value to their clients, reclaim bandwidth, and seize new growth opportunities with solutions like Atmosphere Cloud.

In this blog, we’ll explore how universities can adopt proactive measures to improve their threat detection and overall campus security, focusing on technology's transformative role in creating a safer learning environment for all.

Retaining and attracting top talent is crucial for organizations because it directly impacts their competitive edge, innovation, and overall performance. Talented employees bring unique skills, creativity, and expertise that drive productivity and growth. Retention of these individuals ensures continuity, reduces turnover costs, and maintains historical company knowledge.

In an era where safety and security are paramount concerns, the significance of effective mass notification systems cannot be overstated. These systems play a vital role in detecting, notifying, and managing potential threats, providing a robust framework for public safety. Let’s address the key role that mass notification systems play and their focus in detecting weapons, notifying relevant authorities, and managing emergency situations seamlessly.
