Atlantic Technology 8200 System İnceleme Kılavuzu

subs into nooks and cran-

nies that are too small to

accommodate the mon-

strous subwoofers that

typically accompany high-

end home theater systems.

Two PedWoofers can match

the power of nearly any

large subwoofer, and are

much easier to place dis-

creetly than one large sub.

Of course, you cannot

position a speaker just any-

where and expect it to

perform at its best. Atlantic

has taken this into consider-

ation with the 8200 system.

Placing a subwoofer in a

corner, for example, may

make the bass sound boomy

and undefined. Atlantic

solves this problem by

including powerful equaliza-

tion controls in the

subwoofer amplifiers.The

controls allow your installer

to fix such problems by

attenuating bass frequencies

reinforced by various sub-

woofer placements. A

remote control for the sub-

woofer amps lets you leave

the bass as your installer set

it, or select from four preset

bass equalization modes to

enhance the sound for

movies, music and even

late-night listening.

The front left, center and

right speakers are similarly

The SA8200 subwoofer

amplifier (top) provides

350 watts of power for

each of two PedWoofers.

The LED display in the

temporary volume adjust-

to the original level.

A machined aluminum

sound-absorbing furniture

and thick draperies.

Another switch compen-

sates for the slight muffling

effect that occurs when

speakers are mounted

behind a perforated video

screen. A third switch opti-

mizes the sound for

situations in which the

speaker is mounted in a

cabinet or against a wall.

The switches combine to

produce 12 equalization

options, plenty enough for

precise tuning.

I must mention that the

8200 is one of the first few

speaker systems to earn

THX Ultra2 certification.

That means the 8200 has

passed the most stringent

quality tests devised by

THX, Ltd., a company

founded by Star Wars cre-

ator George Lucas, and is

suitable for use in rooms up

to 6,000 cubic feet. While

the merits of THX's certifi-

cation standards have been

intensely debated, many

audio pundits, including

myself, feel that in some

cases the characteristics nec-

essary to gain THX approval

have made speakers sound

worse, not better.With the

Ultra2 program, however,

the THX certification rules

are now much wiser.

While I have yet to be

impressed by the special

Ultra2 modes THX has cre-

ated for surround-sound

processors, the three Ultra2-

certified speaker systems I

have tested to date rank

among the finest home the-

ater speakers I have heard. It

seems THX, in its Ultra2

form, may finally represent

the reliable mark of quality

the company heralded more

than a decade ago.

My first thought upon

hearing the 8200 system in

my home is: It's right.With

most speakers, a certain

tone or style of sound is
