No quality home theater or music system is complete without the ability to effortlessly reproduce the last one-and-
a-half octaves of sound—the deep bass. A powered subwoofer provides the deep bass that adds drama to the action
scenes in a movie and makes music come alive. Clean, powerful deep bass is what separates a great sound system
from a merely good one.
Atlantic subwoofers use the same design approach in all our subs—from low-priced to high—to produce consistently
realistic, convincing bass effects. Our subs vary in how loud they’ll play and what size room they’re most suited
to. But our quality doesn’t vary. Big room or small, from loud to soft, the sound quality of an Atlantic Technology
subwoofer is always top-notch.
Our subwoofers include powerful low-distortion amplifiers and low-resonance, long-throw drivers, housed in a heavily-
braced, non-resonant sealed box enclosure. We have chosen this “acoustic suspension” approach because it ensures
smooth, uniform bass all the way down to the lowest audible frequencies with no unwanted peaks or dips. It does not
hype any frequency and it never falls into the trap of substituting loud, muddy “one note” bass in place of accurate,
extended, natural response.
But Atlantic doesn’t stop there. We have developed an exclusive design feature called Clear Filter Technology™ that
assures clean, articulate, musical bass reproduction at all times, regardless of how loud you play our subs. Lots of
companies have “limiters,” “feedback loops” or other distortion-reducing circuits to prevent audible degradation of the
sound at high volumes. These work fine as far as they go, but they don’t go far enough. In addition to conventional
distortion-reduction methods, Atlantic has incorporated special circuitry into the subwoofer amplifier that actually
eliminates the deleterious effects that the enclosure itself has on the sound. That’s why other subwoofers, regardless
of their power ratings or their limiters, can’t match the sound of an Atlantic subwoofer for detail and musical
accuracy. CFT™ was initially developed for our award-winning $20,000 System 8200, but this
benefit can now be found in all Atlantic subwoofers, regardless of price.
