Why Prism Sound Atlas Audio Interface Is Better
While many interfaces offer a high channel count, the Prism Sound Atlas prioritizes sheer audio quality over quantity. Its converters and preamps are derived from the same designs used in world-class mastering studios, offering a level of clarity and accuracy that most competitors cannot match. The addition of the MDIO expansion slot provides a professional integration path with Pro Tools HDX and Dante systems, a feature typically found on far more expensive systems. This makes the Atlas not just a high-quality interface, but a long-term investment that can adapt to evolving professional workflows.

Tips & Best Practices
- Optimal Gain Staging: Utilize the clear, detailed metering in the Control app to set your input levels. Aim for peaks around -10dBFS to -6dBFS to leave ample headroom and capture the cleanest signal from the preamps.
- Use the Built-in Monitor Mixer: For zero-latency tracking, create custom headphone mixes for your artists directly from the Atlas Control panel. You can blend the live input signal with playback from your DAW, ensuring a comfortable and inspiring performance.
- Leverage the Overkiller Limiter: For unpredictable sources like vocals or drums, engage the Overkiller soft limiter on the input channels. It's a transparent way to prevent digital clipping on loud peaks without audibly squashing the signal.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Device not recognized by computer.
Solution: Ensure you have installed the latest drivers from the Prism Sound website. Try a different USB port and a high-quality USB cable. Avoid using USB hubs if possible. Restart your computer after installation.
Issue: Audio has clicks, pops, or dropouts.
Solution: Increase the buffer size in your DAW's audio settings. This gives your computer more time to process audio, reducing the likelihood of artifacts. Also, check for and disable any power-saving settings on your USB ports.
Issue: No sound from headphone outputs.
Solution: Open the Atlas Control app and check the routing matrix for the headphone outputs. Ensure that a source (like your DAW's main output or an input channel) is routed correctly and the headphone volume knob is turned up.
