Atlantic Technology Compact Theater HomeTheater Loudspeaker System Owner'S Manual Download Page 4

The C T SR is available with either a black oak laminate or matte
white exterior. An optional kit is available to mount the C T SR
recessed in a standard wall. The speaker will only protrude a small
amount and will therefore be easier to integrate into your
surroundings. Please contact your dealer for further information.

Note: 

Most of the time surround speakers are re-creating the

ambient sounds taking place in the movie scene. 

Throughout almost

all of a movie or TV program you should not be directly aware of
the surround speakers presence. 

So don’t be concerned if, most of

the time, you aren’t hearing the surround speakers directly. Try to avoid
the trap of turning the surrounds up so that you hear them all the
time. The result will be a much less believable surround sound
experience. Remember that the signal they receive is overwhelmingly
those subtle sounds intended to make you believe you’re in the action
taking place on the screen.

Mounting

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

On speaker stands 

Atlantic Technology’s optional 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

supplied metal keyhole brackets for 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 an appropriate 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 sheet rock or
other wall materials. Always follow the above guidelines for safe
speaker mounting.

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 Two system. This type of
damage is easily identifiable through examination of the speaker’s
voice coil and 

is not covered by the warranty.

The Compact Theater Two 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 drivers, cones, or domes. It may be best to dampen
the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe the speakers. Brush the
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 materials, 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.
