272 PBM THX
High Performance THX Select Certified Powered Subwoofer
Congratulations on your purchase of an Atlantic Technology 272 PBM THX powered subwoofer. A well
designed subwoofer, properly integrated into your system will enhance your listening pleasure
dramatically by providing the bass foundation upon which most music and special effects are built.
The 272 PBM THX is capable of delivering very high output levels and wide dynamic range. When
properly placed it will provide smooth in-room bass response down to approximately 20Hz, with a
peak SPL of over 105dB (2000 cubic foot space).
The built-in proprietary high-current Class A/B amplifier is conservatively rated at 225 watts RMS. This
amplifier, coupled with the massive 12" long-throw woofer in a sealed enclosure, generates musically
accurate deep bass with a minimum of distortion.
Your Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer will smoothly integrate with virtually all other brands of
loudspeakers on the market. From the premium quality gold plated connectors to the clearly marked
controls, this is one of the most versatile high performance subwoofers you can buy.
What’s THX?
THX is a series of standards and technologies developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. (of Star Wars fame). These are
intended to ensure that what you hear and see on your home system, as closely as possible, matches
what the director heard and saw during the final production of the film. THX is intended to enhance
every type of viewing and listening experience including the latest discrete multi-
channel digital formats. Please note however that THX is not a separate surround format.
THX Select standards are based upon a room size of 2000 cubic feet (L x W x H). THX
Ultra standards are based upon a room size of 3000 cubic feet. This does not mean
these components must be used in rooms this exact size. The room sizes simply
provide a frame of reference, as they indicate that these systems must deliver a minimum level of
performance in these specified room sizes. Your 272 PBM is THX Select certified.
Features
Your Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer has been engineered using the latest technology and
finest components available. It features:
A long-throw 12" composite cone driver with a vented 9.5 pound motor structure and 2” high
temperature, 4 layer voice coil
This powerful driver has a very stiff cone that acts as an almost perfect piston throughout its
operating range. Its massive magnetic motor assembly and high temperature component parts
deliver exceptional performance and reliability. In fact, its basic motor assembly is identical to
that from our top-of-the-line 15" subwoofers!
Sealed enclosure design for low distortion and deep bass output
Sealed enclosure woofer designs are inherently low in distortion and naturally deliver deep,
smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable roll-off below resonance. As with all
Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid inordinate attention to giving you accurate
musical bass reproduction along with terrific special effects.
