Placement

The design of the System 220 provides you with maximum flexibility when creating a large, seamless, acoustically accurate soundfield for your home theater or music system. The best placement of the various components will vary from system to system. Use the following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting point. Feel free to experiment.

Figure 3: Typical arrange- ment for speakers in a home theater. For best results, place the surround speakers within the shaded areas.

Home Theater

For a home theater system, place your Model 221 LR speakers on either side of the television. All of the System 220 speakers (except the Model 222 PBM Powered Bass Module) are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with your television picture. The left front and right front speakers should be far enough apart that you get a good stereo image, but not so far apart that the sound seems to come directly from the speakers, distracting you from the picture. If you are using a center channel speaker, a wider separation of the left and right front speakers is usually possible.

The Model 223 C should be placed directly on or under your television. Place the speaker base so that the foot cutouts are facing forward. Then, set the speaker on its base and tilt the speaker so that it points directly at the listener.

The 224 SR’s size and shape allows greater flexibility in placement than most conven- tional surround loudspeakers. Due to their spatial characteristics, it is possible to place the speakers virtually anywhere, but usually the best location is nearly straight out to the sides of the primary listening area, either at ear level or 1-2 feet above.

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.
