NOTE: There are several rubber pads supplied with your speakers. They are to be used as feet when the

speakers sit on a shelf, or on stands. When you use the keyhole mounts, place these pads on the lower rear of

the enclosure (remember, the enclosures are going to be mounted upside down), using a double thickness

(one pad on top of another). This will keep the speaker level and stop it from vibrating on the wall.

For greater flexibility you can use pivoting ball-and-socket wall brackets of suitable weight rating

(e.g., Atlantic Technology 157 WB, Omnimount 25 Series, Vogel, etc.) usually available from your local

audio/video retailer. There are also compact adjustable metal shelf style mounts from companies like

Pivotelli that are useful and unobtrusive. Please contact your A/V specialist for more information.

On a bookshelf Adhesive rubber feet are included.

In the wall There is an optional Atlantic Technology in-wall mounting kit (Model IN-RF BRKT) which

includes all the necessary hardware (excluding wall trim/moulding) to install a pair of 174 SR speakers

recessed partially in a standard wall. Please contact your local Atlantic Technolgy dealer for further

information.

Listening Levels and Power Handling – IMPORTANT!

The 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 System 170 can be

damaged by a moderately powered system driven beyond its intended capacity. The harsh amplifier

clipping that occurs in this situation will cause damage to the speaker system. This type of damage is

easily identifiable through examination of the damaged speaker's voice coil and is not covered by the

warranty.

The System 170 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 soft 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.

After carefully removing the grilles from the speakers by pulling them forward, gently, clean them with

a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. This should remove any dust accumu-

lation. Re-attach them by lining up the holes on the grilles with the pegs on the baffles and pushing

firmly but carefully.

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 cartons, packing pieces, and plastic bags that

came with your speakers. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your loudspeakers for any

reason. 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, contact your dealer immediately for

the proper return procedure.
