General Description
With a majority of America’s workplaces having adopted an open office 
plan, favoring a labyrinth of cubicles over traditional closed offices, con-
versational privacy has become an increasingly sensitive issue. A prop-
erly designed sound masking system can significantly increase speech 
privacy and improve the overall work environment.
The new Atlas Sound M1000 masking speaker assembly is designed to 
accurately reproduce the needed spectrum of masking sound into the 
plenum space. The innovative 734 in
3
square enclosure ensures ample
low frequency response. A specially designed 8" dual cone loudspeaker 
is included in the package. A high efficiency 70.7V internal transformer 
is coupled to an external selector switch for easy system tuning. For 
more precise adjustments, an off switch and a wide selection of watt-
age taps ranging from .25 watts to 4 watts are provided. Along with the 
various wattage tap selections, the M1000-W comes with an 8 Ω bypass 
setting. 
The exclusive Atlas Sound EZ hang brackets simplify installation. This 
innovative suspension system utilizes two collapsible galvanized hang-
ers configured to allow quick upward, downward, or horizontal firing 
installation. The hangers are factory-installed on the unit and fold flat 
for shipping. To meet most local code requirement, the M1000 includes 
an innovative cover containing both knockouts and a strain relief. This 
system will allow the use of rigid or flexible conduit (if required) and 
easily accommodates “through” connections on the removable plate. 
To fit continually shrinking construction budgets, the M1000 is very 
aggressively priced. Contact your regional Atlas Sound representative for 
details.
