Model 272 PBM THX
A Word About Bass, Center Channel Modes, and System Set Up
Many surround processors and receivers feature a "Wide" and "Normal" mode for the center channel
speaker. Atlantic Technology recommends that the center channel be operated in the "Normal" mode
when using a powered subwoofer. The center channel speaker will sound more dynamic and the
intelligibility of the system will generally be improved when in the "Normal" mode.
With discrete digital "5.1" channel systems (Dolby Digital AC-3, etc.) many controllers provide a Bass
Management option, which lets you set the front and rear speakers in a limited bandwidth (Small) or
full range (Large) mode. When using a subwoofer with Atlantic Technology speakers we recommend
setting such a controller to the Small position for all the speakers in the system.
Care and Feeding of Your Subwoofer
The 272 PBM THX is constructed from 3/4" Medium Density Fiberboard. MDF is a non-resonant
material ideal for speaker system enclosures. The outside is layered with a high quality black oak
finished vinyl laminate. To clean the cabinet you may use a soft cloth either dry or slightly dampened
with clean water. Be careful not to wet the cabinet or allow any water to enter the cabinet seams. Avoid
placing your speakers in direct sunlight or near a source of heat that may, over time, damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Save Your Boxes! If you can do so, save the carton, packing pieces and plastic bags that
came with your subwoofer. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your subwoofer for any
reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain that the system has suffered no damage
in shipment. If you find such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immediately for the proper
return procedure.
