Phase Invert toggle switch (0/180 degrees).
This switch allows precise acoustic matching with speaker
systems whose output may be phase reversed. This switch
will also allow you to compensate for unusual room
acoustics that occur when the woofer is physically separate
from the midrange/high frequency units. Be sure to try the
Phase switch in both positions when you set up the System
Two PBM, even if you just change the built-in crossover
settings, since the crossover control and the Phase switch
acoustically interact with each other.

Connecting Your Subwoofer
The Atlantic Technology System Two PBM Powered Subwoofer
is simple to hook up, offering several connection methods for
maximum flexibility. Study the system diagrams starting on the
next page. Once you have found the example which most closely
matches your system, hook up your subwoofer(s) as shown in
that diagram.
Low-Level Connection
If you have purchased the entire Compact Theater Two system,
we suggest using the low-level (RCA jacks) subwoofer line out or
preamp outputs if your receiver/processor has them. Simply
connect your subwoofer with high quality shielded cables as
shown in the diagrams.
Example I: Line Out/Low Level In for I or 2 Subwoofers
Before using this connection method, please see the Important Note on page 2.
Single Subwoofer Optional Second Sub Woofer
Using the Low-level Thruput
If desired, you can run a line level stereo signal through the
System Two PBM and out to another unit. This way you can add
an additional subwoofer witli minimal additional wiring. The
signal that comes out of the Thruput jacks is identical to the
input signal.
High-Level Connection
Alternately, you may use the high-level (speaker) inputs. Make
sure to match the type and gauge speaker wire used to connect
your main speakers. As mentioned above, we strongly suggest
you use the High-level inputs if you are using ultra-compact
satellite speakers that have little of no output below 125 Hz. We
recommend that you connect your new System Two PBM
Powered Subwoofer(s) using high quality wire of 16 gauge or
larger. There are many respected manufacturers in the audio
industry that specialize in speaker wire and interconnect cables
suitable for your new system. We recommend dtat you consult
your audio/video specialist for more specific information.
High-level Thruput
If desired, you can run a high level stereo signal through the
System Two PBM and out to another unit. This way you can add
an additional subwoofer with minimal additional wiring. The
signal that comes out of the Thruput jacks is identical to the
input signal.
