Music Only System (Model 221 LR only)
If you are setting up a music only system, begin with these general guidelines:
●
The distance between your speakers should be about one-half their distance from
your favorite listening position.
●
The front of the speakers should point straight at you.
●
The distance from each speaker to its three closest room surfaces should be
different.
●
In most rooms, you should not place your speakers in the corners.
Next, be creative! Try placing your speakers along the long wall instead of the short one.
Toe the speakers in or point them straight ahead. Pull them away from the wall or push
them close. Don’t be timid. You will find that moving your speakers, even a few inches,
can greatly change their sound.
Finally, remember that the best place for your speakers is the one that satisfies you both
visually and sonically.
Cinema EQ Adjustments (Model 223 C only)
The home theater experience is best enjoyed when sounds remain consistent in tonal
balance when panned across the soundstage. For that reason, the Atlantic Technology
System 220 was designed with acoustically matching drivers.
To help achieve this goal when using front speakers from another manufacturer, we
have provided a control on the rear of the 223 C enabling you to adjust its tonal
characteristics to emulate those of your front left and right speakers.
Begin the adjustment procedure by turning the control knob to the 1 o’clock position.
This approximates the Atlantic Technology 221 LR speakers. Next, use your Dolby Pro
Logic receiver/decoder’s “test” mode to generate “hiss” from each speaker and adjust
the 223’s control for the closest match.
Although a perfect match is not usually possible, fine tuning the EQ control while
watching high quality movies will generally yield excellent results. If most of your
listening is Dolby Stereo movies, you may wish to adjust the Cinema EQ control to
compensate for the natural brightness of many movie soundtracks.
Note: Some Dolby Pro Logic decoders and receivers offer a choice of “normal” or
“wide-band” modes for the center channel. The Model 223 C was designed to be used in
the “normal” mode.
