• Your Atrium Powered Speaker can be either
the left or right speaker of a stereo pair,
depending on convenient placement near a
standard household AC power source. Use
the “balance” control of your electronics to
send the signal alternately to the left and
then to the right. If you find stereo imaging
is “backwards” after you’ve hooked up the
Speaker Wire inputs, simply switch the Left
& Right inputs to flip-flop the Left & Right
images. Be sure to maintain terminal color
consistency (polarity).
• Use speaker wire of the correct length to
attach the Powered Speaker to its Passive
partner via Binding Post connections
[figures 9 & 10].
• Only after you have made your speaker
connections, attach the External AC Power
Pack to the Powered Speaker [figure 11].
Plug the Power Pack into a standard house-
hold AC power source, and then turn on
your electronics.
SELECTING AN ELECTRONIC SOURCE
If you turn on your system and do not
hear any sound, check the settings on
your electronics.
• Make sure the “Mute” option is
not selected.
• If your receiver has “Multi-Zone” controls,
make sure the correct options have
been selected.
• If your receiver has an “A” & “B” speaker
selector for “Multi-Room” use, make sure
the correct option is selected.
• If only one speaker is working, check the
balance control setting on your receiver
or amplifier.

Use the “balance” control of your electron-
ics to send the signal alternately to the left
and then to the right. If you find stereo
imaging is “backwards” after you’ve hooked
up the Line Level inputs, simply switch the
1 & 2 inputs to flip-flop the Left & Right
stereo images.

Hookup Hookup #2—Speaker Wire [figure
8]. Use this hookup method with speaker
wire to remote locations, for “Multi-Room”
(selectable “A” or “B” speaker-set on your
electronics) applications.
• Turn your source electronics off.
• Attach Speaker Wire from your receiver
or amplifier to the Left and Right Speaker
Wire Input Posts on the back panel of the
Self-Powered Atrium Powered Speaker.
• Strip 2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from
each of the two conductors of the wire to
expose the bare metal and twist each of the
conductors into a single unfrayed strand
(so you have two unfrayed strands). Note
that one of the terminals on the rear of the
speaker is red (+) and the other is black
(-). Make certain that you connect the wire
from the red terminal of your amplifier or
receiver to the red terminal on your
speaker and the wire from the black
terminal of your amplifier or receiver to
the black terminal on your speaker [figure
11]. Most wire has some indicator (such
as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on
one of the two conductors to help you
maintain consistency.
