Instruction Manual
Fitting the Speaker into the Cut-Out Opening
Before inserting the speaker into the opening in the wall/ceiling, attach the
speaker cable(s) to the speaker, taking care to ensure the correct polarity of
the speaker wires as this is critical to the correct operation of the speakers.
Insert the speaker housing into the opening and tighten the mounting
screws to engage the "dog-leg" fasteners. Be careful to not over-tighten.
The "dog-leg" fasteners will clamp the speaker frame and the mounting
surface together.
To attach the speaker grille, position the grille over the speaker frame.
Powerful magnets embedded in the frame will draw the grille towards
the frame. Be sure the grille is centered properly over the frame and that it
"snugs" down to the correct centered position.

Painting the Speakers and Grilles
Both the speaker frames and the grilles can be painted, if desired. We rec-
ommend doing this before installation. Always paint the grilles separately
from the speaker itself. First, remove the white scrim cloth from behind the
grille. The grilles should only be spray painted very lightly to avoid clogging
the fine mesh of the grille and restricting the sound. Once the grille is dry,
replace the scrim cloth by gently placing it behind the grille. No adhesive is
necessary—gravity will keep it in place.
Only install the speakers and grilles once the paint has dried thoroughly.

Dipole/Bipole Operation of IC-8.3 and IC-6.3
Speaker
In Dipole mode the .3's produce ambience with minimal localization (best
for most movies and video soundtracks). In Bipole mode they produce
more localizable sound (preferred for some music recordings).
Switching between Dipole and Bipole mode is eas-
rear of speaker
ily accomplished using a slide switch located on
BIPOLE
the rear of the speaker. Please note that the vast
majority of the time in movies and TV broadcasts
the surround speakers are called upon to reproduce
the environmental sounds that are used as cues to
help get you immersed in the scene on the screen.
DIPOLE
Once the surround speakers are properly positioned
in the listening area, we recommend that you begin with the dipole mode,
as this usually delivers the most involving and believable surround perfor-
mance in most situations.
Setting the Tone Control (IC-6 HT only)
The Atlantic Technology IC-6 HT loudspeaker features a baffle-mounted
the treble.
Setting the Boundary Control (IC-6 HT only)
The Atlantic Technology IC-6 HT loudspeaker has a baffle-mounted Bound-
sound. Engaging the Boundary control "-3" compensates for such posi-
tioning and returns the speaker's response to normal. Use the "+3" setting
when the speaker is mounted well away (and more than 5 feet) from all
nearby walls.
Adjusting the Directionality of Your Speakers
NOTE: Do not apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself. The pivoting
tweeter can be used to direct sound towards or away from a listen-
ing area. To pivot the tweeter, apply light pressure to the plastic ring
around the outside edge of the tweeter.
If your speakers are widely separated and the music fails to blend into a
central image when the system is operated in stereo mode, you should ori-
entate the tweeters toward the listening area.

level control for treble frequencies. The level
control will help you to fine-tune the perfor-
mance of the speaker to meet room acous-
tics issues or listener preferences.
The level control can be adjusted to pro-
vide 3dB of boost or 3dB of reduction of
ary control that adjusts the speaker's mid-
bass response to compensate for when it is
placed very close (within a foot or so) to a
nearby wall (a "Boundary"). Such placement
can exaggerate the mid-bass response of
the speaker, resulting in a bloated or boomy
