Placement and Operation
Speaker/room interactions have a huge impact on the sound of the system.
Moving the speakers just a little bit can make a dramatic difference in what you
hear. e ultra-compact design of LCR2 provides you with maximum placement
flexibility while creating a large, seamless, acoustically accurate soundfield for your
home theater or music system. e best placement of the speakers will vary from
room to room. Use the following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting
point. But also feel free to experiment. In fact, it may be beneficial to hook up the
speakers with some extra wire and to simply drape the wire across the floor before
installing the speakers permanently. is will allow you the opportunity to move
the speakers around easily so you can find the best sonic and visual locations.
Figure 3
Typical arrangement for speakers in a home theater. For best results, place the sur-
round speakers within the shaded area. Note that the surround speakers are marked
Le and Right. It is important that the speakers be placed correctly for proper imaging.
Mounting
e LCR2 speakers can be mounted
in a variety of ways:
On speaker stands:
We recommend speaker stands with
an approximate height of 29˝ above
the floor. Ideally the tweeter of the
speaker should be at ear level when
seated.
On the wall:
To mount your speakers on a wall,
we have installed metal key-hole
brackets on the back of the LCR2
speakers. Be sure to use a strong
screw whose head and sha will fit
within the keyhole opening and
slot. Also be sure to drive the screw well into a stud or use a mounting device (such
as a molly-bolt) that is capable of holding the weight of the speaker. Never simply
drive a nail or screw into a sheet rock or other wall materials. Always follow the
above guidelines for safe speaker mounting.
On a bookshelf:
Adhesive rubber feet are included.
Listening Levels and Power
Handling – IMPORTANT!
e power recommendation for these speaker
components assumes that you will not operate
your amplifier/receiver in a way that produces
distortion. Even rugged speakers like LCR2 can
be damaged by a moderately powered system
driven beyond its intended capacity. e harsh
amplifier clipping that occurs in this situation will
cause damage to the speaker system. is type of
damage is easily identifiable through examination
of the damaged speaker's voice coil and is not cov-
ered by the warranty. e LCR2 will play very
loudly when provided with enough clean power
to do so. Again, consult your dealer or Atlantic
Technology for additional information.
Care and Feeding of Your Speakers
Clean your speaker cabinets using a so cloth
moistened with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner
being careful not to wet the edges of the cabinet.
Also, be careful not to get any cleaning fluids on
the driver cones or domes. It may be best to
dampen the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe
the speakers. Use a so cloth, but do not use any
paper products, because no matter how so they
may feel, they will scratch the finish. Aer care-
fully removing the grilles from the speakers, clean
them with a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment. is should remove any
dust accumulation. 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 possible, save the cartons, packing pieces,
and plastic bags that came with your speak-
ers. ey will be useful in case you move or
have to ship your loudspeakers for any rea-
son. In any case, save all packing materials
until you are certain that the systems have
suffered no damage in shipment. If you find
such damage, either visible or internal, con-
tact your dealer immediately for the proper
return procedure.
