Mounting

The 221 LR and the 224 SR speakers can be mounted in a variety of ways:

On speaker stands. Atlantic Technology 156 ST speaker stands provide an ideal height (29" above the floor) and fit for most rooms. They are available in black or white.

On the wall. For greatest flexibility, use Atlantic Technology 157 WB wall brackets with their pivoting ball-and-socket joint.

To flush mount your speakers, we have provided metal key-hole brackets. Simply place the bracket over the oval recess on the rear of the speaker and fasten it using the enclosed #6 x 1" screws. Pilot holes are provided for both brackets.

For safety, please use suitably secured wall anchors (such as molly-bolts), or screws driven into wall studs.

Note: The 224 SR speakers hang upside-down, so you will need to remove and invert the grilles.

On a bookshelf. Adhesive rubber feet are included.

In the wall. The Atlantic Technology 254 INRF in-wall kit includes all the necessary hardware and trim. (224 SR only)

Listening Levels and Power Handling

The power recommendation for these speaker components assumes that you will not operate your amplifier/receiver in a way that produces distortion. Even rugged speakers like System 220 can be damaged by a moderately powered system if it is producing distortion.

If you hear a harsh or gritty noise coming from your speakers, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation with a distorted signal from your amplifier/receiver can cause damage to your speakers that is not covered by the warranty.

Care of your Speakers

Clean your speaker cabinets using a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner being careful not to wet the individual drivers or the edges of the cabinet. After carefully removing them from the speakers, clean the grilles with warm water and a mild dish detergent, and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid placing your speakers in direct sunlight that may, over time, fade the finish.
