Components
Thank you for choosing Atlantic Technology products. Your new speaker
components are precision-crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble-free
service. This manual covers the Atlantic Technology System 4400 speaker
components. It will show you how to incorporate these components into
your present setup, as well as how to assemble a complete system from them.
The Model 642e SB box-type enclosure subwoofer is covered in detail in a
separate manual. This system can be used with all current and past sound
formats including Stereo, Dolby Surround®, Pro Logic IIx®, Dolby Digital
5.1®, Dolby Digital 7.1, DTS®, DTS ES®.
Unpacking the Speakers
Use care when unpacking the speakers. Since the grilles are packed off the
speakers, be particularly careful of the driver elements as you unpack and
move the speakers. Remember to keep the original boxes and packing mate-
rial, in the unlikely event the speakers need servicing, or if you move.
Attaching the Grilles
The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with pow-
erful neodymium magnets. There are depressions on the back of the grille
that the magnets fit into. Once the speakers are in their final position, remove
the grille from its protective plastic bag and carefully position it over the
magnets on the baffle. Move them together slowly and when you get close
enough, the magnets will draw the grille in and hold it tight. Be careful not
to get your fingers caught between the grille and the cabinet.
NOTE:
You will notice a threaded insert in the bottom of the LR sat-
ellites. This is for bolting the satellites to speaker stands that utilize a
through hole in the middle of the stand’s top plate. Use a 1/4” x 20
bolt to secure the LR to the stand.
