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 amplifi cation) for any home theater application utilizing Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers.

Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers Stereo/Critical Listening In areas that have a defi ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected to their own channel of a stereo receiver or amplifi er. This application provides the best sound quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a defi ned listening position. Figure 2.4 shows an example of a stereo listening area utilizing A83C Ceiling Speakers.

Installation The Installation process is divided into three distinct processes: Wiring, Mounting and Setting Switches. After carefully considering the intended application (Defi ning a Listening Area, Stereo/Critcal Listening, Home Theater, etc.), specifi c mounting locations can be decided upon. Once the specifi c locations are determined, installation can commence. Wiring Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the house and plan your wire paths for maximum effi ciency. Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage (video, speaker wires, Cat- 5, telephone, etc.) wires wherever possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends.
