Remember to keep the original boxes and packing material, in the unlikely event the speakers need servicing, or if you move. Attaching the Grilles The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with powerful neodymium magnets. There are depressions on the back of the grille that the magnets fit into. Once the speakers are in their final position. Position the grille over the magnets on the baffle. (See Figure 1) Move them together slowly and when you get close enough, the magnets will draw the grille in and hold it tight. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the grille and the cabinet. NOTE: You will notice a threaded insert onthe back of the LR satellites and SR surrounds. This is for bolting the satellites to speaker stands that utilize a slotted L-bracket. Use a .” x 20 bolt to secure the speaker to the stand. Individual Component Descriptions Instruction Manual Individual Component Descriptions Model 1400 LR and 2400 LR Front Channel Speakers The Model 2400 LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are high-performance 2-way systems intended for use with a quality subwoofer, such as the Atlantic Technology Model 224 SB, 334 SB or 444 SB box-type subwoofer. Each speaker contains two GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4 .” (115mm) woofers and an advanced 1” (25mm) Low Resonanace Tweeter (LRT™) with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The drivers are configured in an M-T-M array (midrange-tweeter-midrange alignment) This vertical arrangement of drivers provides wide left to right coverage of sound while limiting the floor and ceiling reflections that may color the sound. These components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF enclosure. The LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close to a TV set without concern. Model 1400 LR speakers are very similar to the 2400 LR speakers, except they employ one 4 ." GLH woofer instead of two. Model 1400 C and 2400 C Center Channel Speaker For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front- channel speakers musthavethe same sonicsignature. Therefore, the 1400 C and 2400 C Center Channel speaker utilize the same driver elements as the respective matching LR speakers (see Figure 2). These speakers are designed to be placed horizontally. They are also magnetically shielded and can be placed directly adjacent to your TV set with no adverse effects on the television’s picture. Both can be tilted on their dedicated base to provide optimum sonic coverage of the listening area. Acoustic Controls System 1400 C and 2400 C includes unique acoustic controls to help maximize its performance in your room. These controls are explained in greater detail on page 8.

The 2400 SR enclosure has two 4 .” (115mm) GLH woofers and two of the same high performance soft dome tweeters found in the 2400 front speakers. The surround speakers can be switched between Dipole and Bipole operation. These settings are explained on page 8,“Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers.” Because of their small size, the model 1400 LR makes an excellent surround speaker. When using it as a surround speaker, the best results will be obtained if the speakers do not aim directly at the listening area.Mount the LR's on the side walls, above and slightly behind the listening position (See pa...
