Mounting
The 4.5 LR and the 4.5 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).
On the wall:
To mount your speakers on a wall, we have installed metal key-hole brackets on the
back of the 4.5 LR and 4.5 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.
For greatest flexibility, use pivoting ball-and-socket wall brackets of suitable weight rating (e.g.,
Omnimount 25 Series, Vogel, etc.) usually available from your local audio/video retailer.
On a bookshelf:
Adhesive rubber feet are included.
In the wall:
An optional Atlantic Technology in-wall mounting kit is available. It includes all the
necessary hardware and trim to install a pair of 4.5 SR speakers recessed partially in a standard wall.
Please contact your local Atlantic Technology dealer for further information.
Listening Levels and Power Handling – IMPORTANT!
The power recommendation for these speaker components assumes that you will not operate your
amplifier/receiver in a way that produces distortion. Even rugged speakers like System 4.5 can be
damaged by a moderately powered system driven beyond its intended capacity. The harsh amplifier
clipping that occurs in this situation will cause damage to the speaker 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 System 4.5 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. Use a
soft cloth, but do not use any paper products, because no matter how soft they may feel, they will
scratch the finish. After carefully removing the grilles from the speakers, clean them with a quick pass
from a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. This should remove any dust accumulation. 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 possible, 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.
