Mounting

The Compact Theater One LR and SR speakers can be mounted
in a variety of ways:

On speaker stands

 Atlantic Technology speaker stands

provide an ideal height (29" above the floor) for most rooms.
They are available in black or white. Speaker stands from other
manufacturers may be used, but should be of approximately the
same height (29" to the base of the speaker). Threaded inserts on
the backs of the speakers allow for secure mounting on stands
designed for these types of connections.

On the wall

 To mount your speakers on a wall, we have installed

metal key-hole brackets on the back of the LR and  SR speakers. Be
sure to use a strong screw whose head and shaft will fit within the
keyhole opening and slot. Also be sure to drive the screw well into
a stud or use a mounting device (such as a molly-bolt) that is
capable of holding the weight of the speaker. Never simply drive a
nail or screw into a sheet rock or other wall materials. Always
follow the above guidelines for safe speaker mounting.

The threaded 1/4" x 20 insert located on the back of the SR and
LR enclosures can also be used to mount the speakers to a wall
using any commonly available “ball joint” style mount that
includes 1/4" x 20 mounting hardware. Be sure to use a mount
that will hold the weight of the speaker and follow all the
manufacturer’s directions concerning appropriate hardware and
mounting methods.

IMPORTANT! – Listening Levels
and Power Handling

The power recommendation for these speakers assumes that you
will not operate your amplifier/receiver in a way that produces
high levels of distortion. A moderately powered amplifier driven
beyond its intended capacity can and will damage even rugged
speakers like the Compact Theater One system. This type of
damage is easily identifiable through examination of the damaged
speaker’s voice coil and 

is not covered by the warranty

.

The Compact Theater One System will play very loudly when
provided with enough 

clean 

power to do so. Again, consult your

dealer or Atlantic Technology for additional information.

Care and Feeding of Your Speakers

Clean your speaker cabinets using a soft cloth moistened with a
mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner being careful not to wet the edges
of the cabinet. Also, be careful not to get any cleaning fluids on the
driver cones or domes. It may be best to dampen the cloth with the
cleaner and then wipe the speakers. Brush the non-removable
grilles with a clean soft brush or a lint free cloth to clean them. Do
not use a vacuum, as the combination of hard vacuum attachments
and suction are likely to cause damage to the drivers.

Avoid placing your speakers in direct sunlight or near a source of
heat that may, over time, damage the finish.

Important:

 Save Your Boxes! If you can do so, save the cartons,

packing pieces, and plastic bags that came with your speakers. They
will be useful in case you move or have to ship your loudspeakers for
any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain
that the systems have suffered no damage in shipment. If you find
such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immediately
for the proper return procedure.
