Atlantic Technology is the next company to take on smart speakers with the Gatecrasher 1, a wifi-based tabletop system the company describes as the first in a series of "smart multiroom wireless speakers."
The Gatecrasher1 is a 2.1 system with an array of high-performance drivers, including a pair of 0.75-inch aluminium dome tweeters and 2-inch cone bass-mid speakers. Meanwhile the internal subwoofer consists of a 4-inch driver coupled with a down-firing 5-inch passive radiator. Powering all is a 60W Class D digital amplifier housed in a high density MDF cabinet with either a Makassar ebony or piano black lacquer finish over real-wood veneer.
Wireless connectivity comes through Bluetooth and wifi, with wifi capability including dual-band 802.11ac wifh Wifi Alliance and DLNA certification. Bluetooth 4.0 with AptX technology allows compatibility with high-res audio codecs, and customers can stream from a Bluetooth-connected device to multiple Gatecrasher units. The system is compatible with a wide range of sources, including Windows and Mac PCs, Android and iOS mobile devices, and game consoles such as the Xbox One and PS4.
