System 220

High Performance Loudspeaker System

Welcome to Atlantic Technology’s world of excellence in sound reproduction. Your new
speaker system is precision crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service.
This manual covers the 

Atlantic Technology System 220

 series of speakers for

home theater. It will show you how to incorporate the following System 220 compo-
nents into your present system, as well as how to set up a complete system. (Except the
Model 222 PBM. It is covered in a separate manual.)

The 

Model 221 LR Front Channel Speakers

 are two-way systems for use with a

quality subwoofer, such as the Atlantic Technology Powered Bass Modules. Each speaker
contains a 4" polypropylene, long-throw woofer, and a 1/2" ferrofluid cooled tweeter in
an acoustically inert MDF cabinet.

The 

Model 223 C Center Channel Speaker with Variable Cinema EQ

 contains

two high power 3-1/2" polypropylene woofers and a 1/2" ferrofluid cooled tweeter. It is
designed for use in home theater systems that use a Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

The 

Model 224 SR On-Wall/In-Wall Surround Speaker

 is intended for use in

audio/video sound systems with a Dolby Pro Logic receiver (or a Dolby Pro Logic
decoder and a surround amplifier). Each speaker has two 3-1/2" polypropylene drivers
that are angled and phased to produce ambience without localization for movie
surround sound tracks.

Although the speakers in the Atlantic Technology System 220 are acoustically and
cosmetically matched to each other, they may also be used with a wide variety of other
speaker systems.

Note:

 The 224 SR is not intended for use as a regular right and left front channel stereo

speaker or satellite. Its spatial performance characteristics are not designed for this purpose.
In the Atlantic Technology 220 Series of components, the Model 221 LR fills this role.

Connection

We recommend that you connect your new System 220 speaker components using high
quality stranded wire of 18 gauge or larger for lengths up to 25 feet. Use 16 gauge or
larger for longer runs of wire. Contact your local audio/video specialist for more specific
information.

Warning: 

To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always switch off

the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker.
