Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers
2. System Design/Applications
ATON LCR Theater Speakers are designed primarily to be installed in drywall ceilings and/or
walls, but it is possible to install them in other materials. Prior to installation, it is essential to
determine the type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers. There are
two typical applications that ATON LCR Theater Speakers will be used for:
Home Theater and
Stereo/ Critical Listening .
Home Theater
ATON LCR Theater Speakers provide unobtrusive, high-quality home theater sound when
installed in the correct locations. It is critical to identify the primary listening position before
installation! See
Figure 2.1 for a system design utilizing all A83C ceiling speakers, Figure 2.2
for a system design using
all
A53W in-wall speakers and
Figure 2.3
for a system design utilizing
ceiling
and
in-wall speakers.
Note: Digital Surround Sound (5.1, 6.1, DTS, etc.) requires the use of a subwoofer for
Low-Frequency Effects (LFE). ATON Recommends the use of the A82SW Passive In-Wall
Subwoofer (requires separate amplifi cation) for any home theater application utilizing
Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers.
