2Direct Access Remote Control port

Use for hard-wired direct access of remote control functions. A contact closure between "com" and any function will activate that function

3Remote Control jacks

The IR IN jack accepts an IR signal from a separately powered sys- tem or an IR signal generated by a “whole-house” controller. Use the THRU jack to“daisy-chain” to other devices. (page 9)

4EXT IR Receiver Connector

Use the EXT IR RCVR input powered port to connect to a 3-wire 12 volt IR receiver module (xantech,ect.) when the preamplifier is not in line-of-sight with the remote control. Use the OUT TO SLAVE jack to pass on the received signal to other equipment.

5Low Level jacks

Use the input jack to connect to the "subwoofer" or "LFE line out" from your processor/receiver. Use the output jack to connect to your subwoofer's input. Use the XLR-type balanced connectors, if possible, to obtain lowest noise and hum.

7AC Input

Use the included AC adapter to connect your preamplifier to a wall outlet. (page 9)

SP-8000 specifications

The Atlantic Technology SP-8000 is a standout example of modern audio engineering, designed to meet the needs of both audiophiles and casual listeners alike. This speaker is crafted to deliver an immersive sound experience, making it suitable for both home theater systems and everyday music enjoyment.

One of the primary features of the SP-8000 is its advanced driver technology. The speaker employs a 8-inch polypropylene cone woofer that provides a deep, rich bass response, ensuring that low-frequency sounds are well-represented without distortion. Complementing the woofer is a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, which allows for clear and detailed high-frequency reproduction, enhancing vocal clarity and the overall tonality of the audio. This combination of drivers allows the SP-8000 to seamlessly handle a wide range of frequencies, catering to various listening preferences.

A notable characteristic of the SP-8000 is its versatile enclosure design. The cabinet is constructed using high-quality MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which helps to reduce resonance and unwanted vibrations. This results in a more accurate sound that is true to the original recording. The stylish and sleek design of the speaker also allows it to blend well with various home décor styles, making it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any room.

Connectivity is another strength of the SP-8000, as it features binding posts that accommodate a variety of cable types, ensuring compatibility with different audio setups. The speaker's impedance is rated at 8 ohms, making it suitable for use with a wide range of amplifiers and receivers, providing flexibility in system design.

In terms of performance, Atlantic Technology has incorporated advanced acoustic engineering techniques into the SP-8000. This includes a carefully designed crossover network that ensures a smooth transition between the woofer and tweeter, allowing for a cohesive and balanced sound stage. Whether watching movies, playing video games, or listening to music, the SP-8000 delivers an engaging audio experience that immerses listeners in the content.

Overall, the Atlantic Technology SP-8000 stands out as a premium speaker option, combining high-quality components, thoughtful design, and remarkable performance characteristics that cater to a diverse range of listening needs. Its ability to reproduce sound accurately makes it a compelling choice for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience.
