System Setup

Bass Management

Some older surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of "Nor-

mal" or "Wide-band" modes for the center channel speaker. The 3200 LR

and C speakers are designed to be used in the Normal mode.

Modern digital processing multi-channel systems provide a Bass Manage-

ment menu,which typically requires you to select between"Small"or"Large"

speakers during system set-up.Since these speakers have been designed to

work with a dedicated subwoofer,please set all the speakers to Small.

Many of the newer surround receivers and processors give you a choice

of subwoofer-to-satellite crossover frequency. If yours does, we recom-

mend that you start with a setting of around 80Hz for the smoothest blend

between the subwoofer and the 3200 speakers.

Operation of Rear Panel Controls on the FS-3200s

High Frequency Energy

tilt or rolloff slope of the tweeter in order to com-

pensate for varying room acoustics.Use the Aver-

age position for rooms with a reasonably balanced

combination of hard reﬂective surfaces (sliding

glass doors and bare walls) and soft absorptive

surfaces (thick carpeted ﬂoors and overstuffed

furniture).The Reverberant position is meant for rooms with an abundance

of hard surfaces,while the Damped Room setting raises the tweeter' s output

to counteract the effect of an overly absorptive,acoustically"dead"room.

Boundary Compensation

"On" position adjusts the lower frequency output to

compensate for the typical sound colorations caused

by placing the speaker very close to a large surface,

such as a TV screen, a wall, or on a shelf in an enter-

tainment unit.If your FS-3200 speakers are mounted

as described above,you may prefer their sound when

the Boundary Compensation control is engaged.Conversely,if they are free-

standing,away from large surfaces (such as when the 3200 LR speakers are

used with their optional ﬂoorstands), you may prefer the sound with the

position in the"Normal"position.

NOTE: In all cases, we recommend you try both switches in their vari-

ous positions and use the settings that sound best in your particular

room. Note that the settings of the Left, Center, and Right speakers

may differ from each other.

Dipole/Bipole Operation of the 2200 SR Speakers

mode (preferred for some music recordings). Switching between Dipole

and Bipole mode is easily accomplished using a toggle switch conveniently

located in the speakers rear terminal cup.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. 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 believ-

able surround performance in most situations.However,as noted above,feel

free to experiment with both switch positions.

Setting Levels

When setting up a complete home theater we strongly recommend that you

use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. As of this writing Radio Shack®

has one that's affordably priced (approximately $40-$60) that can be used

effectively.To use this meter,turn on your system,put the processor/receiver

in Test Mode and set its main volume control somewhere between -20

dB and 0dB (or a reasonably loud level in your listening room). Sit in the

prime listening position,set the SPL meter to the 70dB scale,slow response,

and C weighting.Hold the meter with the microphone pointed up towards

This control changes the

the ceiling and in front of you. Cycle the test tone from speaker to speaker,

setting each to the same level (usually75dB) using the individual level set-

tings available in the processor/receiver (please see the instructions for

your processor/receiver if you are unsure of how to access the test signal

or level controls).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The power recommendation for these speaker

systems assumes that you will not operate your ampliﬁer/receiver in

a way that produces distortion. Even rugged speakers like these can

be damaged by an ampliﬁer driven into audible distortion. The harsh

ampliﬁer distortion ("clipping") that occurs in this situation will even-

Putting this switch to the

tually cause damage to the speaker system. This type of damage may

be cumulative and can build up over time, as the ampliﬁer is driven

into overload again and again. Such damage is easily identiﬁable

through examination of the damaged speaker's voice coil and is not

covered by the warranty.

These systems will play very loudly when provided with enough undistorted

power to do so.If necessary,consult your dealer or Atlantic Technology for

additional information.

System Setup

In Dipole mode the 2200 SR's produce

ambience with minimal localization (best

for most movies and video soundtracks),

and more localizable sound in the Bipole
