Thank you for choosing Atlantic Technology home theater products. Your new speaker system is precision crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service. This manual covers the Atlantic Technology T70 series of speakers for home theater. The T70 PBM Subwoofer is covered in detail in a separate manual. Every T70 component has been optimized for use with all surround sound formats including Dolby Surround®, Dolby Pro-Logic®, Dolby Digital 5.1®, Surround EX 6.1®, and DTS®.

T70 LR Front Channel Speaker

The T70 LR Front Channel Speakers are two-way systems intended for use only with a quality subwoofer. Each speaker contains a 4" TCMG (Titanium Coated Molded Graphite) woofer, and a 1" Ferrofluid® cooled, Soft Dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet, in an acoustically inert MDF cabinet. The T70 LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed next to a TV set without concern.

T70 C Center Channel Speaker

The T70 C uses dual 4" TCMG woofers and the same 1" tweeter as the T70 LR speaker. The T70 C is designed for use only as a dedicated center channel speaker.

The T70 C center speaker should be placed in a horizontal position, directly above or below the TV screen. It too is magnetically shielded and will have no adverse effects on the TV.

T70 SR Surround Speaker

The T70 SR TriVectorSurround Speaker is intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems only as a dedicated surround speaker. Each enclosure has a 4" CCMG (Coated Composite Molded Graphite) woofer on the front and two wide dispersion 3/4" Modified Dome tweeters, one on each side. The dual tweeters and single woofer are electronically phased to produce diffuse ambience with limited localization. The T70 SR’s unique TriVector design makes it well suited for all analog and digital surround applications.

Connecting Your System

We recommend that you connect your T70 system with high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 18 gauge or larger, for runs up to 15 feet. (Remember, the lower the gauge, the larger the wire). Use 16 gauge or larger for runs up to 30 feet and 14 gauge for runs up to 50 feet. Contact your Atlantic Technology dealer for specific cable recommendations and further information for special circumstances.

Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker.
