On a sidemount or twinset rig the reversible spindle lets the hose leave on whichever side the routing needs. On a boat the yellow hose makes it obvious to a buddy which regulator to reach for. The venturi lever prevents an accidental free flow at the surface. It fits any XTX or DS4 first stage.

On a cold water quarry dive the dry chamber keeps water off the main spring.

The ATX is fully balanced on both stages, so the breathe stays the same from the first minute to the last.
