Speaker Placement and Home Theater

Remember that the primary goal of a good home theater is not to make you believe that you are in a movie theater.It’s to make you believe you’re in the movie. For a home theater system, place the speaker either above or below your flat screen display, centered horizontally. See Figure 2.

The speaker comes with your choice of two wall-mount brackets,a Straight Bracket that points the speaker straight ahead, and an Angle Bracket that either points the speaker down at the listeners (if it’s mounted above the display) or up at the listeners (if it’s mounted below the display). See Figure 6.

In addition, the speaker can also be used as a set-top or shelf-mounted speaker. Should you choose to use it that way, we’ve included Atlantic’s exclusive Rocker Base.This base attaches easily to the bottom of the speaker so that it may be tilted up or down towards the listening area as needed. Alternately, the speaker can be placed directly on a shelf or on the televi- sion without the rocker base, if desired. Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included to prevent vibration and protect the mounting surface.

See Figure 9 on Page 5 to attach the Rocker Base

You may also simply mount the speaker to the wall using the built-in key- hole brackets.

Because of the high quality components used,the speaker is very heavy for its size and care must be used when hanging it.Be sure to use a strong screw to drive into the wall, one whose head and shaft will fit properly within the keyhole opening and slot. Also be sure to drive the screw directly into a stud or to use a mounting device (such a molly-bolt) that is capable of safely holding the speaker’s weight. Never simply drive a nail or screw into sheet rock or other wall materials, as this mounting method may not be sufficient to safely support the weight of the speaker. Plastic wall anchors are not recommended

NOTE: Always consult a knowledgeable installer regarding the proper mounting hardware to use with your speakers.

See Figures 3-9 for mounting instructions

FS-5000, FS-4000 specifications

Atlantic Technology is renowned for producing high-quality audio products that cater to both home theater enthusiasts and audiophiles. Among their diverse lineup, the FS-4000 and FS-5000 models stand out as remarkable floor-standing speaker systems designed to deliver an immersive listening experience.

The FS-4000 features a three-way design, incorporating dual 5.25-inch polygraphite woofers, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter. This configuration ensures a rich, balanced sound profile, capable of handling a wide range of audio frequencies. With a frequency response that extends down to 34 Hz, the FS-4000 provides deep bass that complements any cinematic experience without sacrificing clarity in the mid and high ranges.

In terms of technology, the FS-4000 employs advanced driver materials that are not only durable but also engineered to minimize distortion. The woofer cones are designed to provide excellent transient response, allowing for quick and accurate reproduction of low-frequency sounds. The tweeter excels in delivering crisp highs, making dialogue sharp and music dynamic. The speaker's cabinet is crafted with resonance-dampening materials to minimize unintended vibrations, ensuring that sound quality remains pristine.

On the other hand, the FS-5000 builds upon these principles with enhancements suited for larger spaces. This model features a more robust three-way design, combining dual 6.5-inch woofers, a larger 5-inch midrange driver, and a similar 1-inch silk dome tweeter. The increased size of the drivers allows the FS-5000 to handle even lower frequencies, achieving a frequency response that dives down to an impressive 30 Hz. It provides a more powerful and impactful soundstage, making it ideal for larger room configurations.

Both models utilize Atlantic Technology's innovative baffle and port design, which helps in producing clearer sound with less interference. Moreover, the FS-5000 includes a bi-wire/bi-amp option, enabling audiophiles to connect their systems with increased versatility and enhanced signal integrity.

In summary, the Atlantic Technology FS-4000 and FS-5000 speakers are meticulously engineered for audio performance. With their high-quality drivers, advanced technologies, and well-crafted cabinets, both models deliver an impressive audio experience suitable for any home theater setup or music listening environment. Whether you are watching movies or enjoying music, these speakers aim to elevate the overall auditory experience with depth, clarity, and precision.
