System 8200e and 6200e LR

and 8200e SR Pedestals

Assembly Instructions

The Atlantic Technology LR and SR Pedestals were designed to provide an attractive and sta-

ble base for the System 8200e and 6200e LR and 8200e SR speakers, allowing you great flexibil-

ity in placement and use. This sheet will guide you through the assembly process. Please follow

each step carefully.

CAUTION: The Pedestals were designed for placement underneath the satellite

speakers. We recommend that you exercise great care when lifting or moving

the LR satellites because they are large and quite heavy. Never use the Satellite/

Pedestal combination without the Spike Mounting Plates and Spikes.

Preliminary Steps

Before placing the satellite speakers on their respective pedestals you need to perform several tasks,

including attaching the Spike Mounting Plates and Spikes, filling the Pedestals with "dead" sand,

and inserting the satellite locating pins.

Installing the Pedestal Spikes

We recommend that assembly and filling take place near the final location for the speakers. Turn

the Pedestal over on its top, carefully placing it upside down on a protected surface (i.e. newspa-

pers, an old blanket, or anything else that will protect the top of the Pedestal and the floor below,

and that can be contaminated with any sand that may spill during the filling process).

Remove the Spike Mounting Plates from their package. Each plate has two holes at one end and a

threaded stud at the other. Line up the two holes on the plate with a pair of threaded inserts on the

bottom of the pedestal. Make sure the threaded stud is pointing up, away from the pedestal (see

the exploded diagram on the opposite page). Attach the plate with two (2) 1/4 – 20 x 3/4 screws,

securing them tightly in the threaded inserts with the supplied Allen wrench. Attach the remain-

ing three plates in the same manner.

Remove the spikes from their package. Be careful of the pointed ends, as they are very sharp. Screw

the broad end of the spikes onto the threaded studs of the Spike Mounting Plates (see the exploded

diagram on the opposite page). Finally, screw the pointed tip all the way onto the spike body.

Running Speaker Wire

There are two holes on the back of the Pedestal. These are for concealing the speaker wire from

the satellite once it is mounted. Thread the end of the speaker wire into the Pedestal through the

bottom opening and back out the top. Leave enough wire to comfortably connect to the satellite

speaker as it will be difficult to pull more out once the Pedestal is filled with sand.

Filling the Pedestals with Sand

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must fill the Pedestals with sand in order to insure

adequate stability. If you do not fill the Pedestals with sand as instructed herein

Atlantic Technology cannot assume any responsibility for damage or harm

caused by speaker/pedestal instability.

If you haven't already done so, spread some newspaper or other protective material on the floor

to catch any sand that might spill. Now turn the Pedestals over with the large opening in the top

facing up. If they will be placed on a hard surface (wood or tile), use the rounded rubber tipped

feet to avoid damaging the floor. Use care when lifting and turning the Pedestal over so as not to

risk injury from the spikes. We recommend that you have help when turning the Pedestal over to

avoid any problems.

You will need approximately 25 lbs. of sterile sand to fill each 6200e LR pedestal, 30 lbs. for each

8200e LR pedestal, and 20 lbs. for each SR pedestal. This is the same kind of sand that is typically

used to fill children's sandboxes and is generally available at home centers, hardware stores, and

recreational stores. As noted above, perform this operation close to the final speaker location, as

the Pedestal will become quite heavy once filled with sand.

Place the included plastic bag into the Pedestal, folding the edges of the bag over the outside the

015-1874-B

Pedestal. If you wish, you may place the plastic bag inside the cloth bag that the Pedestal was

shipped in before you fill the plastic bag with sand. Fill the bag with sand. Then close the bag with

the included tie-wrap.

Place one of the heavy-duty plastic liner bags inside the Pedestal. Carefully tuck it down inside the

Pedestal, using a broom handle or other similar instrument to make sure the bag sits all the way

down into the bottom of the cavity. Fold the top of the bag over the outside of the Pedestal. Using a

scoop or small container and a funnel, transfer the sand carefully into the Pedestal. Don't pour sand

directly from the bag, as it may flow too fast and tear the liner bag or pull it into the Pedestal. Fill the

bag half-way to the top of the pedestal. Carefully seal off the bag using the included wire ties.

Placing the LR on the Pedestal

Along with an assistant, set the Pedestal in its final location. Now carefully lift the satellite speaker

and place it on the pedestal. Adjust LR on pedestal to make sure it is correctly aligned.

Before using the coupling bracket, finish connecting the speaker wires. Align the holes on the cou-

pling bracket with the matching threaded inserts on the LR and Pedestal. Make sure that your

speaker wires are captured by the raised channel on the coupling bracket. Use 8 of the included

1/4–20 x 3/4" button-head Allen screws to attach the bracket.

Placing the SR on the Pedestal

Along with an assistant, set the Pedestal in its final location. Screw one threaded Locating Pin into

each of the four threaded inserts on the top of the Pedestal as far as they will go. A small screw-

driver can be used if needed. Use care to not cross-thread the Pins. Be sure to screw them all in an

equal amount as the satellite speaker will be resting on the rounded ends of these pins.

Now carefully lift the SR speaker and place it on the Locating Pins. This is best accomplished by

tipping the speaker slightly back while locating the rear sockets over their Locating Pin counter-

parts. Once the rear pins are within their sockets, gently tip the speaker forward and the front pins

should line up and slip into the front sockets.

Leveling

The Pedestals can be leveled using the adjustable Spike tips. Simply unscrew whichever tip(s) are

necessary to level the unit, being careful not to rotate the tip more than 5 turns.

Cautions

The Surround speaker sits free on top of the Pedestal. It is important not to try and lift the entire

assembly once they are together. If you must move them, first separate the Surround from the Ped-

estal and move them independently. Be careful not to tip the Surround/Pedestal combination too

far, as there is the possibility that it could fall over. Take special care on thick carpets and/or when

children are present.
