Instruction Manual

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 power- ful 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.

Using the AT-2 on Speaker Stands

Many high-quality speaker stands—like the Sanus® Ultimate Foundations®--use a through-bolt that goes through the stand’s top plate and attaches to a ¼”-20 threaded insert in the bottom of the speaker.If you are using speaker stands with your AT-2’s, we suggest using this type of stand,since it provides the most rigid assembly for the best acoustic perfor- mance,and the most secure installation for maximum safety.(See figure 1)

The elegant exterior, finished with a high-quality vinyl veneer, complements any decor while ensuring durability. Additionally, the rear-firing port design enhances low-frequency response, optimizing placement against walls or in corners.

Finally, the AT-2 is engineered for efficiency. With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a sensitivity rating of 88 dB, these speakers can be effortlessly driven by a wide range of amplifiers and home theater receivers. This accessibility ensures that users do not need to invest in high-end equipment to achieve excellent sound.
