Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers

2. System Design/Applications

ATON LCR Theater Speakers are designed primarily to be installed in drywall ceilings and/or walls, but it is possible to install them in other materials. Prior to installation, it is essential to determine the type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers. There are two typical applications that ATON LCR Theater Speakers will be used for: Home Theater and Stereo/ Critical Listening.

Home Theater

ATON LCR Theater Speakers provide unobtrusive, high-quality home theater sound when installed in the correct locations. It is critical to identify the primary listening position before installation! See Figure 2.1 for a system design utilizing all A83C ceiling speakers, Figure 2.2 for a system design using all A53W in-wall speakers and Figure 2.3 for a system design utilizing ceiling and in-wall speakers.

Note: Digital Surround Sound (5.1, 6.1, DTS, etc.) requires the use of a subwoofer for Low-Frequency Effects (LFE). ATON Recommends the use of the A82SW Passive In-Wall Subwoofer (requires separate amplification) for any home theater application utilizing Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers.
