10 CSB Corner Subwoofer

Features

Your Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer has been engineered using the latest technology and finest components available. It features:

■A long-throw composite cone driver with a vented motor struc- ture and an oversized high temperature, 4-layer voice coil

This powerful driver has a very stiff cone that acts like a piston throughout its operating range. Its massive magnetic motor assem- bly and high temperature component parts deliver exceptional per- formance and reliability.

■Sealed enclosure design for low distortion and deep bass output

Sealed enclosure woofer designs are inherently low in distortion,and deliver deep smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable roll-off below resonance.As with all Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid close attention to providing accurate musical bass repro- duction along with terrific special effects.

■High-current amplifier

The output stage of this amplifier is a highly efficient PWM switching type capable of very high current delivery for exceptional driver con- trol and cool operation.It has been precision matched and equalized to our rugged drivers.Together they deliver powerful,controlled bass with great articulation and authority.

■A useful in room working frequency range of 25Hz to 150Hz

Many subwoofers offer specifications that look great on paper, but in real world use deliver less than promised. Atlantic Technol- ogy subwoofers are over-designed to ensure that they will deliver their rated performance in your room, when properly placed and adjusted.

■An adjustable (50Hz to 160Hz) @ 18dB per octave LowPass crossover

The steep upper end roll-off slope of 18dB per octave allows for much better bass integration with the satellite speakers while making the woofer less localizable.

NOTE: If you are using a surround Processor/Receiver that includes its own filtered subwoofer output (or a THX Certified Processor/ Receiver), we strongly recommend that you set the crossover con- trol to the Bypass position.

■Two low level inputs, two high level inputs with highpass out- puts

Either input may be used with either mono or stereo feed.This allows great flexibility of installation method and hookup. Highpass filter at high level output reduces bass overdriving of satellites, preserv- ing clarity.

■A Phase rotary control (0-180º)

This switch allows precise acoustic matching with satellite speaker systems whose output may be phase reversed.This control also allows you to compensate for unusual room acoustics that occur when the woofer is physically separated from the main speakers.Be sure to try the Phase control across its range when you set up your subwoofer. Even if you’ve simply changed the built-in crossover settings it’s a good idea to recheck the phase control since the crossover and phase controls acoustically interact with each other.Pay particular attention to the transition of bass from the woofer to the satellites,listening for smooth and well defined bass throughout the range.

■Automatic standby operation, LED indicator

Automatic standby features signal sensing turn-on with 10-15 minute turn-off delay.There’s a multi-color LED status indicator that lets you know when the unit is on or in standby. Automatic Standby can be defeated by placing the rear mounted switch in the ON position.

■An AC cord power input socket and fuse holder

Your subwoofer comes supplied with a heavy-duty detachable power cord.

■Voltage Selector

Easily accessible with a screwdriver tip.When changing voltage setting also change fuse accordingly.

■Designed and built to meet all current UL/CSA and European safety requirements

10 CSB specifications

The Atlantic Technology 10 CSB (Classic Series Bookshelf) speaker is designed to blend performance, aesthetics, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. This compact bookshelf speaker promises an impressive soundstage without compromising on design or practical application.

At the heart of the 10 CSB is its high-quality driver arrangement. Equipped with a 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer, the speaker efficiently reproduces low frequencies, delivering robust bass response while maintaining clarity. The woofer is paired with a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, which is engineered to produce smooth and detailed high frequencies. This combination allows the speaker to handle a wide frequency range, making it suitable for various music genres and home theater applications.

One of the standout features of the 10 CSB is its advanced crossover network. Atlantic Technology incorporates a sophisticated 2-way crossover design that ensures an even distribution of sound across both the woofer and tweeter. This results in a coherent and balanced audio experience, allowing users to enjoy clarity regardless of the volume level. The crossover also plays a crucial role in minimizing distortion, ensuring that every note and subtle nuance in the music is preserved and delivered accurately.

The enclosure design of the 10 CSB is both functional and visually appealing. Constructed with a rigid MDF cabinet, it reduces unwanted vibrations, contributing to an overall cleaner sound. The cabinet is available in multiple finishes, allowing it to fit seamlessly into various home décor styles. Additionally, the rear-firing bass port design enhances low-frequency performance, enabling the speaker to produce deeper bass even without a subwoofer.

Versatility is another key characteristic of the Atlantic Technology 10 CSB. Its compact size allows it to fit comfortably on bookshelves, stands, or even mounted on walls. This flexibility means that users can create a surround sound setup effortlessly or use it as part of a stereo configuration.

In summary, the Atlantic Technology 10 CSB stands out with its powerful drivers, advanced technology, and elegant design. Its ability to deliver a well-rounded audio experience makes it a fantastic addition to any home audio system, whether it be for music enjoyment or cinematic immersion. With its blend of performance and aesthetics, the 10 CSB is a speaker that pleases both the ear and the eye.
