Kvant Atom 42

The Atom series lasers always represented the bridge between lower output Clubmax systems and our flagship Spectrum projectors.

Atom units are structurally designed the same way as the new line of world-class Spectrums, using the same innovative foam aluminium material for the chassis, but with a few differences that allow for a more economical price tag.

The latest Atom is a fine-crafted semiconductor FAC-diode based full-colour laser display system that provides its user with powerful output, unified beams, crisp colors, and advanced control features and connections.

Our Atoms emit beams with unrivalled divergence while maintaining guaranteed power output across the entire scanning range. This is something pretty unique (important and unknown) that not many other manufacturers can offer. The Atoms are just better.

Our Atoms already showed their potential in power demanding applications while we manage to keep their sales price at a reasonable level. They are offered in two versions, 42 and 58 Watts.

The 2022 Atom is 30% lighter, significantly smaller and more robust than its predecessor and most conventional projectors in its class.

These new diodes offer identical size beams across all colours and uniformity of their profiles, resulting in well defined and clean projections.

The beam and build quality and amount of optical power output of new Atoms designate them for large-scale outdoor events and touring.

Reliable semiconductor workhorse

Robust and powerful enough, elementary yet sophisticated. The Atoms are well balanced from about every aspect, including their cost-efficiency.

*note
Due to Advanced Optical Correction technology used in Kvant systems, the real power output of each laser module installed within the system may slightly differ from its specification. This doesn't affect the total guaranteed power output of the system.
**note The beam divergence total is calculated as an average arithmetic value of all individual colours. The divergence of each colour is calculated as:
1. FWHM of the beam cross-section for round beams, or
2. The arithmetic average of the beam's horizontal and vertical divergence for all rectangular beams.
