Model 10 CSB 

Corner Subwoofer

Congratulations on your purchase of an Atlantic Technology 10 CSB Cor-
ner subwoofer. The special design of this product allows it to be placed 
unobtrusively in the corner of your room, minimizing its visual impact. 
The unique shape of the subwoofer’s cabinet combined with corner place-
ment also provides the maximum amount of bass reinforcement, so your 
subwoofer will deliver optimum performance.
This subwoofer uses an extremely high-performance driver with an over-
sized voice coil for low distortion, vented voice coil and vented basket for 
extremely high power handling and high-excursion, and a low-resonance 
cone for exceptionally deep response.
The built-in low-noise amplifier has a linear power supply and preamp, 
coupled to a Class-D PWM output stage. This compact high-efficiency 
amplifier provides great sound with minimal heat and easy hookup in 
any system.

CAUTION:

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the 

cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified per-
sonnel.

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose 

this appliance to rain or moisture. This device generates a small amount 
of heat. Make sure nothing blocks the ventilation of the amplifier.
The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is 

intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electrical shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is 
intended to alert the user to the presence of important 
operating maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 

literature accompanying the appliance.
