•Your Atrium Powered Speaker can be either the left or right speaker of a stereo pair, depending on convenient placement near a standard household AC power source. Use the “balance” control of your electron- ics to send the signal alternately to the left and then to the right. If you find stereo imaging is “backwards” after you’ve hooked up the Line Level inputs, simply switch the 1 & 2 inputs to flip-flop the Left & Right stereo images.

•Use speaker wire of the correct length to attach the Powered Speaker to its Passive partner via Binding Post connections [fig- ures 9 & 10].

•Only after you have made your speaker connections, attach the External AC Power Pack to the Powered Speaker [figure 16]. Plug the Power Pack into a standard household AC power source, and then turn on your electronics.

Hookup Hookup #2—Speaker Wire [figure 8]. Use this hookup method with speaker wire to remote locations, for “Multi-Room” (selectable “A” or “B” speaker-set on your electronics) applications.

•Turn your source electronics off.

•Attach Speaker Wire from your receiver or amplifier to the Left and Right Speaker Wire Input Posts on the back panel of the Self-Powered Atrium Powered Speaker.

•Strip 2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand (so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals on the rear of the speaker is red (+) and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal on your speaker [figure 11]. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on

one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency.

Use the “balance” control of your electronics to send the signal alternately to the left and then to the right. If you find stereo imaging is “backwards” after you’ve hooked up the Speaker Wire inputs, simply switch the Left & Right inputs to flip-flop the Left & Right images. Be sure to maintain terminal color consistency (polarity).

•Only after you have made your speaker connections, attach the External AC Power Pack to the Powered Speaker [figure 11]. Plug the Power Pack into a standard house- hold AC power source, and then turn on your electronics.

SELECTING AN ELECTRONIC SOURCE

If you turn on your system and do not hear any sound, check the settings on your electronics.

•Make sure the “Mute” option is not selected.

•If your receiver has “Multi-Zone” controls, make sure the correct options have been selected.

•If your receiver has an “A” & “B” speaker selector for “Multi-Room” use, make sure the correct option is selected.

•If only one speaker is working, check the balance control setting on your receiver or amplifier.
