(pages 5 and 6) 11 Front Mounted Variable Level Control and Status LED Shown in greater detail on page 9 Features Instruction Manual 5 Features Your Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer has been engineered using the latest technology and finest components available. It features: Two low level inputs, two low level outputs A long-throw composite cone driver with a vented motor structure and 2" high temperature, 4-layer voice coil The outputs allow daisy chaining of multiple subwoofers, or as a return path back to the processor. A Phase Invert switch (Normal/Invert) This powerful driver has a very stiff cone that acts like a piston throughout its operating range. Its massive magnetic motor assembly and high temperature component parts deliver exceptional performance and reliability. Sealed enclosure design for low distortion and deep bass output Sealed enclosure woofer designs are inherently low in distortion, and deliver deep smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable roll-off below resonance. As with all Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid close attention to providing accurate musical bass reproduction along with terrific special effects. High-current amplifiers This switch allows precise acoustic matching with satellite speaker systems whose output may be phase reversed. This switch also allows you to compensate for unusual room acoustics that occur when the woofer is physically separated from the main speakers. Be sure to try the Phase switch in both positions when you set up your subwoofer. Even if you've simply changed the built-in crossover settings it's a good idea to try the Phase switch in both positions, since the crossover control and the Phase switch acoustically interact with each other. Pay particular attention to the transition of bass from the woofer to the satellites, listening for smooth and well defined bass throughout the range. The output stage of these amplifiers are capable of very high current delivery for exceptional driver control and cool operation. They have been precision matched and equalized to our rugged drivers. Together they deliver powerful, controlled bass with great articulation and authority. A convenient front panel mounted Level Control (422 SB) Automatic standby operation, LED indicator A useful in room working frequency range of 25Hz to 150Hz Automatic standby features signal sensing turn-on with 7-10 minute turn-off delay. There's a multi-color LED status indicator that lets you know when the unit is on or in standby. Automatic Standby can be defeated by placing the rear mounted switch in the ON position. Many subwoofers offer specifications that look great on paper, but in real world use deliver less than promised. Atlantic Technology subwoofers are over-designed to ensure that they will deliver their rated performance in your room, when properly placed and adjusted. An AC cord power input socket Your subwoofer comes supplied with a heavy-duty detachable power cord. An adjustable (40Hz to 140Hz) @ 18dB per octave LowPass crossover Designed and built to meet all current UL/CSA and European safety requirements The steep upper end roll-off slope of 18dB per octave allows for much better bass integration with the satellite speakers while making the woofer less localizable. NOTE: If you are using a surround Processor/Receiver that includes its own filtered subwoofer output (or a THX Certified Processor/ Receiver), we strongly recommend that you set the crossover control to the Bypass position. R 6 Connecting Your Subwoofer L/MONO Model 102, 212 and 422 SB Powered Subwoofer Figure 2 AC Connection Connecting Your Subwoofer Use the low-level (RCA jack) subwoofer line out of your surround sound receiver/processor. Simply connect your subwoofer with a high quality shielded cable as shown in the diagram on page 7. Please consult your processor/receiver manual for further information. WARNING: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always unplug all component AC cords before proceeding with speaker and component connections! The last step in wiring your system should be plugging in the AC cords! Subwoofer Line Out to Low Level In Run an RCA cable from your receiver's Sub Out jack to the L/Mono input jack on the back of the subwoofer (Figure 3). If your receiver/processor has stereo subwoofer outputs, connect these to both the L/Mono and R AC INPUT 50-60Hz 300W MAX jacks on the back of the subwoofer (Figure 4). Using the Low Level Output 110-120V 220-240V If desired, you can run a low level signal through the subwoofer and out to another unit. This way you can add an additional subwoofer with minimal additional wiring. The signal that comes out of the output jacks is identical to the input signal. ON OFF Power Connection Connect the power cord to an AC outlet only after making all other connections to the subwoofer. This will avoid any chance of accidentally activating the subwoofer while wiring. Atlantic Technology does not FOR 110-120VAC, USE 3A L 250V FUSE recommend plugging the subwoofer FOR 220-240VAC, USE 2A T 250V FUSE into the switched outlet of an amplifier, preamplifier, or receiver. The power demands of the subwoofer amplifier may exceed the power rating of the switch ...
