Model 920,1200 and 2200 LR  

Front Channel Speakers

The Model 2200 LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are high-perfor-
mance 2-way systems intended for use with a quality subwoofer, such as the 
Atlantic Technology Model 920 SB, 212 SB or 422 SB box-type subwoofer. 
Each speaker contains two GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4 ½” 
(115mm) woofers and an advanced 1” (25mm) ferrofluid-cooled, damped 
soft dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The 
drivers are configured in an M-T-M array (midrange-tweeter-midrange 
alignment) This vertical arrangement of drivers provides wide left to right 
coverage of sound while limiting the floor and ceiling reflections that may 
color the sound. These components are mounted in an acoustically inert 
MDF enclosure. The LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be 
placed close to a TV set without concern.
Model 1200 LR speakers are very similar to the 2200 LR speakers, except 
they employ one 4 ½" GLH woofer instead of two. 
The Model 920 LR speakers are a scaled down verion of the 1200 LR speak-
ers and employ a single 4" driver but the same tweeter as both the 1200 
and 2200 LR's.

Model 1200 C and 2200 C Center Channel Speaker

For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack,  the three front-
channel speakers must have the same sonic signature. Therefore, the 1200 C 
and 2200 C Center Channel speaker utilize the same driver elements as 
the respective matching LR speakers (see Figure 2). These speakers are 
designed to be placed horizontally. They are also magnetically shielded and 
can be placed directly adjacent to your TV set with no adverse effects on 
the television’s picture. Both can be tilted on their dedicated base to provide 
optimum sonic coverage of the listening area.

Acoustic Controls

System 1200 C and 2200 C includes unique acoustic controls to help maxi-
mize its performance in your room. These controls are explained in greater 
detail on page 8.

Model 2200 SR Surround Speakers

The Model 2200 SR Dipole/Bipole Surround Speakers (Figure 3) are 
intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems as dedicated 
side or back surround channel speakers. The 2200 SR enclosure has two 
4 ½” (115mm) GLH woofers and two of the same high performance soft 
dome tweeters found in the 2200 front speakers. The surround speakers 
can be switched between Dipole and Bipole operation. These settings are 
explained on page 8, “Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers.”
Because of their small size,  both the model 920 LR and 1200 LR make an 
excellent surround speaker. When using either LR as a surround speaker, 
the best results will be obtained if the speakers do not aim directly at the 
listening area. Mount the LR's on the side walls, above and slightly behind 
the listening position (See page 5).

NOTE: 

Although the speakers in the Atlantic Technology Systems 920, 

1200 and 2200 are acoustically and cosmetically matched to each 
other for ideal results, they may also be used with other Atlantic Tech-
nology components and a wide variety of speakers from other manu-
facturers with excellent results.
