Front Panel Controls

The IWTS-155 has two controls that help optimize the speak- er’s performance regardless of mounting location or room acoustics.

HF (High Frequency) Level Control

This control adjusts the relative level of high frequency out- put to compensate for varying room acoustics or placement behind a screen.

“+” is for absorptive, acoustically “dead” rooms (or when the speaker is behind a movie screen). Use this position to increase the HF level and restore the proper sparkle and liveliness to

the sound.

“0” is for rooms of average absorptive characteristics.

“-“ should be used in rooms that are highly reflective, with hard floors and exposed windows.

The setting of the HF control is mostly a matter of personal taste, so try it in all three positions and see which one is preferred.

Boundary Compensation Control

If it’s necessary to mount the speaker closer than 12 inches to the ceiling or corner,you may find that by switching the Boundary Compensation control “on,” the speaker sounds better.We recommend that you try the control in both positions and see if it helps in your particular installation.

IR Knockout

There’s an IR “knockout” plug in the upper right corner of the front baffle. If you are using a multi-room con- trol system, you can install a standard IR receiver in the knockout hole.

Should you have any questions or problems please feel free to contact us at 781-762-6300 or through our web site, www.atlantictechnology.com.

Large room boundaries, such as floors, walls, and ceilings, reinforce sound by acting essentially as acoustic “mirrors.” When the speaker is mounted too close to the corner or a wall/ceiling intersection, this sonic “reinforcement” often results in an unnatural heaviness or coloration of the sound.
