Thank you for purchasing Atlantic Technology speaker products. These high quality 2-way speakers solve a myriad of surround sound and distributed audio installation problems. We work very hard to ensure that all of our speakers consistently deliver exceptional performance and value.
We hope you enjoy them to their fullest. Please take a moment to read these instructions so you can get the most from your speakers.
Mounting Specifications
These speakers are intended for mounting in a ceiling, in material ranging from ½ inches to 1 inch thick. They require at least 4 7⁄8 inches as measured from the front surface of the ceiling .The mounting open- ing for the ICTS-6 LCR is 9 5⁄8 inches in diameter (4 13⁄16 radius). These speakers will work equally as well in a wall as in a ceiling, however note that they require more mounting depth than is normally available in a 2x4 studded wall.
Locations
Generally, it’s best to keep the speaker at least 24 inches away from any nearby wall boundaries (wall/corner),since placing any speaker in close proximity to other boundary surfaces will always“color”the sound that the speaker produces.
The ICTS-6 LCR’s woofer is angled 15 degrees so that it may be aimed more directly at the listening area. The 1-inch dome tweeter is mounted in a pivoting housing, so it to can be directed precisely for best sound.
Unlike many ceiling speakers,the ICTS-6 LCR employs a special tweeter design called LRT™ (Low Resonance Tweeter),which allows the tweeter to handle more of the sound spectrum than ordinary tweeters. Since small tweeters disperse the sound over a much wider angle than large woofers,having the tweeter handle more of the crucial midrange frequen- cies means that the ICTS-6 LCR will cover the listening area with sound much more uniformly and accurately than conventional ceiling speakers. This design feature greatly improves the ICTS-6 LCR’s performance, without having to resort to complicated, expensive mechanical twisting designs or needing to use multiple expensive drivers.
Since the ICTS-6 LCR’s tweeter handles most of the directional informa- tion, it’s not crucial that you point the woofer directly at the listeners. As long as it’s pointed in the general direction of the listening area, the tweeter will do the rest.
That's the advantage of Atlantic Technology's innovative engineering.
