The AtlasIED M1000R is an 8-inch, 70.7V sound masking loudspeaker designed for commercial offices and other open-ceiling environments where speech privacy and acoustic comfort are important. Its low-profile, round enclosure and non-reflective black finish make it well suited for exposed ceiling installations where speakers, ductwork, lighting, and other building systems remain visible.
Designed specifically for distributed sound masking applications, the M1000R reproduces the masking signal supplied by an external sound masking generator and amplifier. When properly designed and calibrated, a sound masking system helps reduce the intelligibility of nearby conversations, making distracting speech less noticeable in shared workspaces.
The M1000R combines an 8-inch dual-cone loudspeaker, an integrated 70.7V transformer, and a factory-assembled round enclosure to simplify installation in commercial sound masking systems.
Designed for Speech Privacy in Open Offices
Open-plan offices often present acoustic challenges because conversations travel across workstations, meeting areas, and shared spaces.
The AtlasIED M1000R is designed to distribute an electronically generated masking signal throughout these environments.
When integrated into a properly configured sound masking system, the M1000R can help:
-
Reduce the intelligibility of distracting conversations.
-
Improve perceived speech privacy between work areas.
-
Create a more consistent acoustic environment.
-
Reduce interruptions caused by nearby conversations.
-
Support sound masking coverage in open-ceiling architectural designs.
The M1000R is suitable for corporate offices, administrative spaces, healthcare facilities, and other commercial environments requiring speech privacy.
8-Inch Dual-Cone Driver and Round Enclosure
The M1000R features a high-efficiency 8-inch paper-cone loudspeaker housed in a factory-assembled round enclosure.
Its 382 cubic-inch (6.26-liter) enclosure supports reproduction of the low-frequency content needed for a properly tuned sound masking spectrum.
Unlike conventional background music speakers, the M1000R is specifically intended for sound masking applications.
The round enclosure features a non-reflective black finish that helps the loudspeaker blend into exposed ceiling structures.
Adjustable 70.7V Transformer for System Tuning
The M1000R includes an integrated 70.7V line-matching transformer with an externally accessible tap selector.
Available settings include:
-
0.25 watts
-
0.5 watts
-
1 watt
-
2 watts
-
4 watts
-
OFF
These settings allow installers to adjust individual loudspeaker output as part of the overall sound masking system calibration.
The external selector simplifies adjustments without requiring the enclosure to be opened.
Easy Installation in Open-Ceiling Spaces
The M1000R is supplied with a 78-inch (2-meter) suspension chain for overhead installation.
Its balanced enclosure design helps maintain a level orientation when suspended.
An integrated strain relief at the top of the enclosure provides secure speaker cable termination.
The loudspeaker is tested and approved to UL 2043 for use in air-handling plenum spaces and is safety listed to UL 1480 and UL 2043.

System Requirements and Compatibility
Important: The AtlasIED M1000R is a passive sound masking loudspeaker. It does not generate masking noise or contain a built-in amplifier.
A complete installation requires:
-
A compatible sound masking generator
-
A suitable 70.7V amplifier
-
Appropriate speaker wiring
-
Proper system design and calibration
The masking generator produces the masking signal, while the amplifier distributes it to the connected loudspeakers.
Proper system calibration is essential for achieving consistent coverage and appropriate masking levels.
