Individual Component Descriptions
Model 1400 LR and 2400 LR
Front Channel Speakers
The Model 2400 LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are high-perfor-
mance 2-way systems intended for use with a quality subwoofer, such as the
Atlantic Technology Model 224 SB, 334 SB or 444 SB box-type subwoofer.
Each speaker contains two GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4 ½”
(115mm) woofers and an advanced 1” (25mm) Low Resonanace Tweeter
(LRT™) with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The drivers are
configured in an M-T-M array (midrange-tweeter-midrange alignment)
This vertical arrangement of drivers provides wide left to right coverage
of sound while limiting the floor and ceiling reflections that may color the
sound. These components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF enclo-
sure. The LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close
to a TV set without concern.
Model 1400 LR speakers are very similar to the 2400 LR speakers, except
they employ one 4 ½" GLH woofer instead of two.
Model 1400 C and 2400 C Center Channel Speaker
For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front-
channel speakers must have the same sonic signature. Therefore, the 1400 C
and 2400 C Center Channel speaker utilize the same driver elements as
the respective matching LR speakers (see Figure 2). These speakers are
designed to be placed horizontally. They are also magnetically shielded and
can be placed directly adjacent to your TV set with no adverse effects on
the television’s picture. Both can be tilted on their dedicated base to provide
optimum sonic coverage of the listening area.
Acoustic Controls
System 1400 C and 2400 C includes unique acoustic controls to help maxi-
mize its performance in your room. These controls are explained in greater
detail on page 8.
Model 1400 SR-z and 2400 SR Surround Speakers
The Model 2400 SR Dipole/Bipole Surround Speakers (Figure 3) are
intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems as dedicated
side or back surround channel speakers. The 2400 SR enclosure has two
4 ½” (115mm) GLH woofers and two of the same high performance soft
dome tweeters found in the 2400 front speakers. The surround speakers
can be switched between Dipole and Bipole operation. These settings are
explained on page 8, “Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers.”
Because of their small size, the model 1400 LR makes an excellent sur-
round speaker. When using it as a surround speaker, the best results will
be obtained if the speakers do not aim directly at the listening area. Mount
the LR's on the side walls, above and slightly behind the listening position
(See page 5).

NOTE: Although the speakers in the Atlantic Technology Systems 1400
and 2400 are acoustically and cosmetically matched to each other for
ideal results, they may also be used with other Atlantic Technology
components and a wide variety of speakers from other manufacturers
with excellent results.
