MONO/STEREO SETTING

Use this switch [figure 11] to improve imaging, especially in remote room and long distance installations.

•For the best acoustic performance, position your speakers 4 - 8 feet (240cm) apart on the same wall. Choose the “Stereo” setting to achieve successful stereo imaging.

•If your speakers are far apart, or positioned in separate rooms, choose the “Mono” setting to send the same information to both speakers.

SETTING VOLUME WITH SECONDARY VOLUME CONTROL

The Secondary Volume Control for the Self- powered Atrium Speakers is located on the front of the Powered Speaker below the grille [figure 12]. It is factory set at the halfway point position. You can use this secondary volume control to set the level of the speak- ers according to the sensitivity of your source input. Once you set it you can forget it.

•Set the volume of your electronics and then adjust it remotely using the volume control on the speaker, or visa versa.

MOUNTING

The Atrium’s swiveling wall bracket allows it to be mounted either horizontally or vertically and aimed to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of situations. Follow the steps below to safely secure the brackets and speakers.

When choosing a location for mounting your Atrium speakers, remember that one speaker in the pair is the Powered speaker. It has a built-in power amplifier and must be plugged into a standard household AC power source in order to operate. 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.

Installation of Atrium Series Loudspeakers requires basic skills in using tools such as a drill and screwdriver. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a profes- sional installer.

•Make certain that the location you plan to mount the Powered speaker is near a stan- dard household AC power source. Use the cord on the external power supply to judge convenient distance. It’s a good idea to leave the speaker unplugged until the installation is finished (see hookup instruc- tions on the previous page).

•Check for obstacles that could hinder a cable run from your remote installation location to your receiver or processor.

•Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (Atrium 45P=[8lbs/3.63kg powered] [6lbs/2.72kg passive]).

•Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.
