PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Because they are self-powered, your Atrium Loudspeakers allow you to bring sound into any room in your house. You can use them with electronics that feature both “Multi- Room” (“A” and “B” speaker settings) and “Multi-Zone” (separate control) features [figure 4]. Use them to add audiophile sound to your television, computer or portable music device [figures 5 & 6].

One speaker in this pair is the Powered speaker. It has a built-in stereo power amplifier and must be plugged into a stan- dard household AC power source in order to operate. Use the cord on the External AC Power Pack to judge convenient distance. The other speaker is the Passive (non-powered) speaker, and can be placed as near or far from the Powered Speaker as is convenient.

Self-Powered Atrium Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a televi- sion set or computer monitor. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speakers away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US & Can), 410-764-5266, 9am-6pm EST, Monday through Friday, or email: polkcs@polkaudio.com.
