System 220

High Performance Loudspeaker System

Welcome to Atlantic Technology’s world of excellence in sound reproduction. Your new speaker system is precision crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service. This manual covers the Atlantic Technology System 220 series of speakers for home theater. It will show you how to incorporate the following System 220 compo- nents into your present system, as well as how to set up a complete system. (Except the Model 222 PBM. It is covered in a separate manual.)

The Model 221 LR Front Channel Speakers are two-way systems for use with a quality subwoofer, such as the Atlantic Technology Powered Bass Modules. Each speaker contains a 4" polypropylene, long-throw woofer, and a 1/2" ferrofluid cooled tweeter in an acoustically inert MDF cabinet.

The Model 223 C Center Channel Speaker with Variable Cinema EQ contains two high power 3-1/2" polypropylene woofers and a 1/2" ferrofluid cooled tweeter. It is designed for use in home theater systems that use a Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

The Model 224 SR On-Wall/In-Wall Surround Speaker is intended for use in audio/video sound systems with a Dolby Pro Logic receiver (or a Dolby Pro Logic decoder and a surround amplifier). Each speaker has two 3-1/2" polypropylene drivers that are angled and phased to produce ambience without localization for movie surround sound tracks.

Although the speakers in the Atlantic Technology System 220 are acoustically and cosmetically matched to each other, they may also be used with a wide variety of other speaker systems.

Note: The 224 SR is not intended for use as a regular right and left front channel stereo speaker or satellite. Its spatial performance characteristics are not designed for this purpose. In the Atlantic Technology 220 Series of components, the Model 221 LR fills this role.

Connection

We recommend that you connect your new System 220 speaker components using high quality stranded wire of 18 gauge or larger for lengths up to 25 feet. Use 16 gauge or larger for longer runs of wire. Contact your local audio/video specialist for more specific information.

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.

Atlantic Technology has made a name for itself in the audio industry by delivering high-performance speakers that excel in both home theater and music applications. Among the standout products are the 221 LR, 223 C, and 224 SR models, which together create a powerful and immersive sound experience.

The Atlantic Technology 221 LR is a pair of compact left and right speakers designed for optimal versatility in smaller spaces. One of its main features is the high-quality 6.5-inch woofer that allows for deep bass reproduction while ensuring clarity in the mid and high frequencies. The 221 LR also includes a 1-inch silicon dome tweeter, providing smooth and refined high-frequency response. The speakers are engineered to deliver a frequency response range that is both well-balanced and extended, making them suitable for various genres of music as well as movie soundtracks.

In the center of this formidable trio is the 223 C, a dedicated center channel speaker that enhances dialogue clarity for home theater setups. The 223 C shares a similar design aesthetic with the 221 LR and incorporates dual 5.25-inch woofers to handle the critical mid-range frequencies where vocals are primarily situated. This model also features a 1-inch tweeter, ensuring that dialogue remains articulate and engaging even in the most demanding scenes. Its design helps integrate seamlessly with other speakers in the lineup, creating a cohesive sound stage.

Completing the setup is the 224 SR, an advanced surround speaker that is engineered for both dipole and bipole configurations, allowing for versatile placement in various types of rooms. The 224 SR features a pair of 5.25-inch woofers and a dual tweeter array, resulting in an expansive sound field that enhances the immersive experience of movies and games. The surround speaker's unique design ensures a wide dispersion of sound, making it ideal for capturing the ambient effects required in a surround sound environment.

All three models utilize Atlantic Technology's proprietary technologies to maximize audio performance and enhance listener enjoyment. Their construction ensures durability and longevity, while the elegant finishes allow for easy integration into any décor. Together, the 221 LR, 223 C, and 224 SR form a complete audio solution that is both high in quality and low on compromise, making them an excellent choice for discerning audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.
