The three front channel speakers (Compact Theater One LRs and C) are magnetically shielded so they will not interfere with your television picture. The left front and right front speakers should be far enough apart that you get a good stereo image, but not so far apart that the sound seems to come directly from the speakers, distracting you from the picture. You may chose to “toe” the LR speakers in, aiming them at the prime listening position. This can be particularly useful if the front LR speakers are fairly far apart. The Compact One C should be placed directly above or below your television. It is important that the speaker is centered on the screen, not off to the side. Right surround speaker Note: Some surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of “Normal” / Small or “Wide-band / Large” modes for the center channel.The Compact One C is designed to be used in the “Normal / Small” mode. Additionally, some discrete digital home theater systems allow you to select between “Small” and “Large” speakers throughout the system. Since the Compact Theater One system has been designed to work only with an active subwoofer, please set all the speaker positions to “Small.” Surround Effects The Compact One SR’s size and shape allows greater flexibility in placement than most conventional surround loudspeakers. Due to their monopole design it’s preferable to locate the SR Surround speakers behind the prime listening position, at least 2 feet above ear level when seated. The goal is to aim the front of the speakers in such a way that their output is not directed right at the listeners and therefore not easily localizable. For example, placing them on the sides of the room, behind the listening position and aimed across at each other, is a good starting point. Note: The surround speakers are intended to re-create the ambient sounds taking place in the movie scene.Throughout most of a movie or TV program you may not be directly aware of the surround speakers presence. It’s OK if you don’t seem to be 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 99% subtle sounds that should make you believe you’re in the action up on the screen. 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 d...
