SETTING VOLUME WITH SECONDARY VOLUME CONTROL

The Secondary Volume Control for the Atrium 45p Speakers

is located on the front of the Powered Speaker below the grille [figure 12]. It is factory set at the halfway point position. You can use this secondary volume control to set the volume level of the speakers.

Set the volume of your electronics and then adjust it remotely using the volume control on the speaker.

Multi-room application using speaker wire hookup [figure 8]— we recommend setting the Atrium volume control to its maximum setting (fully clockwise).

Multi-zone application using line level hookup [figure 7]— we recommend setting the Atrium volume control to the “noon” position.

AJUSTER LE VOLUME À L’AIDE DU CONTRÔLE DE VOLUME SECONDAIRE

Le contrôle de volume secondaire des enceintes Atrium 45p est situé à l’avant de l’enceinte active sous la grille [figure 12]. Il est préréglé à l’usine à la position médiane. Vous pouvez utiliser ce contrôle pour ajuster le niveau de volume des enceintes.

Ajustez d’abord le volume de vos composants électroniques. Ajustez ensuite le volume des enceintes à l’aide du contrôle

de volume de l’enceinte active.

Application «multi-pièce» avec connexion fil de h.p. [figure 8]—il est recommandé de régler le contrôle de volume des enceintes au maximum.

Application «multi-zone» avec connexion niveau de ligne [figure 7]—il est recommandé de régler le contrôle de volume à la position médiane (12h)

MOUNTING

The Atrium’s swiveling wall bracket permits your speakers to be mounted either horizontally or vertically and aimed to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of situations. Follow the steps below to safely secure the brackets and speakers.

When choosing a location for mounting your Atrium speakers, remember that one speaker in the pair is the Powered speaker.

It has a built-in power amplifier and must be plugged into a stan- dard household AC power source in order to operate. The other speaker is the Passive (non-powered) speaker, and can be placed as near or far from the Powered Speaker as is convenient.

Self-Powered Atrium Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a television set or computer monitor. If you notice video distortion or discol- oration, immediately move the speakers away from the TV

and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US & Can),

410-764-5266, 9am-6pm EST, Monday through Friday, or email: polkcs@polkaudio.com.

Installation of Atrium Series Loudspeakers requires basic skills in using tools such as a drill and screwdriver. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a professional installer.

Make certain that the location you plan to mount the Powered speaker is near a standard household AC power source. Use the cord on the external power supply to judge convenient distance. It’s a good idea to leave the speaker unplugged until the installation is finished (see hookup instructions

on the previous page).

Check for obstacles that could hinder a cable run from your remote installation location to your receiver or processor.

Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers:

Atrium 45 powered = [8lbs/3.6kg] Atrium 45 passive = [6lbs/2.7kg].

Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.

INSTALLATION

Les supports pivotants des Atrium vous permettent d’installer les enceintes verticalement ou horizontalement et de les orienter pour obtenir la propagation sonore optimale. Suivez les étapes ci-dessous pour installer les supports et les enceintes de

façon sécuritaire.

Lorsque vous déterminez le lieu d'installation des enceintes, n’oubliez pas qu'une d'entre elles est active et doit être branchée dans une prise de courant CA pour fonctionner. L’autre enceinte est passive et peut être installée à n’importe quelle distance de l’enceinte active.

Les enceintes Atrium 45p ne sont pas blindées et ne devraient pas être installées à moins de 30 cm (1 pi) d’un téléviseur ou d’un écran vidéo. Si vous constatez de la distorsion ou de la décol- oration vidéo, éloignez immédiatement les enceintes de l’écran et contactez le Service à la Clientèle de Polk Audio au 800-377-7655 (É.U. et Can.), 410-358-3600 (hors É.U. et Can.), du lundi au ven- dredi de 9h-18h HE, ou par courriel: polkcs@polkaudio.com.

L’installation des enceintes de la Série Atrium requiert une com- pétence technique rudimentaire et des outils ordinaires (tournevis et perceuse). Si vous ne croyez pas être assez habile ou ne pos- sédez pas les outils nécessaires, consultez votre revendeur Polk ou un installateur professionnel.

Assurez-vous que l’endroit d’installation choisi pour l’enceinte active est à proximité d’une prise de courant CA. Utilisez le cordon électrique du bloc d’alimentation CA externe pour juger sa distance de la prise. Il est recommandé de ne pas brancher l’enceinte active avant d'avoir terminé l’installation.

Assurez-vous qu’il n’y a pas d’obstacle qui pourrait nuire au passage des câbles raccordant l’enceinte active à votre récepteur/amplificateur/processeur.

Assurez-vous que le matériau sur lequel vous comptez installer vos enceintes (plâtre, placoplâtre, lambris, pierre, etc.) peut supporter leur poids:

Atrium 45 active = [8 lb /3,6 kg] Atrium 45 passive = [6 lb /2,7 kg]

Assurez-vous que l’endroit choisi ne dissimule pas de fils électriques ou de plomberie.
