The Atlantic Technology series of subwoofers allows operation with either 120 or 240 volts AC 50-60 Hz. Please make sure that the voltage selector switch shows the correct voltage for your area before plugging the unit in. The

voltage can be easily changed by moving the switch to

the correct voltage and installing the proper fuse and

power cord. To change the fuse, remove the power

cord, insert a screwdriver tip into the notch in the

side of the fuseholder, and pry it out. Replace with the correct value fuse and push back into place. The voltage settings and fuse values are marked adjacent to the voltage selector.

Placement

Moving the subwoofer towards the corner increases bass level, but may emphasize one frequency predominantly (Figure 5). Moving it away from the wall will reduce the bass output, but will yield flatter response. You can adjust the level control accordingly to compensate for room placement.

Home THX Subwoofer Applications: The 352 PBM THX

Two 352 PBM THX subwoofers are required for proper THX operation. A single, larger subwoofer could have been used effectively, but Atlantic Technology opted for dual subs from both a performance standpoint, (smoother bass, less room interactions) and aesthetic standpoint, with smaller cabinets being easier to place in the room.

Important Note: The variable input level control and the low pass crossover control have no effect when the THX input is used. The correct input level and crossover frequency

have been incorporated into all THX certified processors and receivers. The Atlantic Technology 352 PBM THX Powered Subwoofer meets or exceeds all THX performance specifications.

When two subwoofers are used, whether for Home THX operation, regular Dolby Pro Logic, or Dolby AC-3, they should be placed asymmetrically; that is, in slightly different positions on each side of the television (Figure 6). This will help to attenuate room resonances that are common to symmetrically positioned subwoofers.
