Model 1400 LR and 2400 LR

Front Channel Speakers

The Model 2400 LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are high-perfor- mance 2-way systems intended for use with a quality subwoofer,such as the Atlantic Technology Model 224 SB, 334 SB or 444 SB box-type subwoofer. Each speaker contains two GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4 ½” (115mm) woofers and an advanced 1” (25mm) Low Resonanace Tweeter (LRT™) with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The drivers are configured in an M-T-M array (midrange-tweeter-midrange alignment) This vertical arrangement of drivers provides wide left to right coverage of sound while limiting the floor and ceiling reflections that may color the sound.These components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF enclo- sure.The LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close to a TV set without concern.

Model 1400 LR speakers are very similar to the 2400 LR speakers, except they employ one 4 ½" GLH woofer instead of two.

Model 1400 C and 2400 C Center Channel Speaker

For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front- channel speakers must have the same sonic signature.Therefore,the 1400 C and 2400 C Center Channel speaker utilize the same driver elements as the respective matching LR speakers (see Figure 2). These speakers are designed to be placed horizontally.They are also magnetically shielded and can be placed directly adjacent to your TV set with no adverse effects on the television’s picture.Both can be tilted on their dedicated base to provide optimum sonic coverage of the listening area.

Acoustic Controls

System 1400 C and 2400 C includes unique acoustic controls to help maxi- mize its performance in your room.These controls are explained in greater detail on page 8.

Model 1400 SR-z and 2400 SR Surround Speakers

The Model 2400 SR Dipole/Bipole Surround Speakers (Figure 3) are intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems as dedicated side or back surround channel speakers. The 2400 SR enclosure has two 4 ½” (115mm) GLH woofers and two of the same high performance soft dome tweeters found in the 2400 front speakers. The surround speakers can be switched between Dipole and Bipole operation. These settings are explained on page 8,“Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers.”

Because of their small size, the model 1400 LR makes an excellent sur- round speaker. When using it as a surround speaker, the best results will be obtained if the speakers do not aim directly at the listening area.Mount the LR's on the side walls, above and slightly behind the listening position (See page 5).

NOTE: Although the speakers in the Atlantic Technology Systems 1400 and 2400 are acoustically and cosmetically matched to each other for ideal results, they may also be used with other Atlantic Technology components and a wide variety of speakers from other manufacturers with excellent results.
