Slim Profile Front Stage
Loudspeaker
ank you for choosing Atlantic Technology
h
ome theater products. Your new speaker system
is precision craed to give you years of enjoyable,
trouble free service. is manual covers the Atlantic Technology FS5 Front Stage Loudspeaker.
e FS5 contains the Le, Center and Right
video display either on a shelf, mounted on the
wall or attached to an articulating TV mount.
Each FS5 consists of a low resonance MDF cabinet, dual 4.5˝ CPP drivers,
and high quality crossover components for each
of the three front channels. e FS5 is designed
for use with all surround formats such as Dolby
Digital, DTS or Dolby Atmos.
Connecting Your System
We recommend that you connect your FS5
speaker systems with high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 18 gauge or larger, for
lengths up to 25 feet. Use 16 gauge dual conductor or larger for longer runs of wire. Contact
your local audio/video specialist for specic
cable recommendations and further information for special circumstances.

Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock
or damage to your equipment, always
switch off the amplier or receiver when
making connections to the speaker.
You can connect your FS5 speakers by using a
variety of audio connectors, or you can:
Strip about
connecting insulation from the connecting wires.
Connect them to the appropriate push terminal,
being careful to observe polarity (positive to the
red terminal, negative to the black terminal).
Whether you are connecting a complete FS5
system, or adding a single speaker component
to your present system, the wiring should look
like the diagram in Figure 2.
Figure 1: Gold plated spring binding posts
1
/2˝ (13mm) of insulation from the
accept up to 14 gauge bare wire.
Warning: Before turning on the amplier, be certain that no stray wire strands
are touching across the two terminals as this might damage your amplier.
Finally, check the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some music. If the
sound seems hollow, unusually spread out, or has weak bass, recheck your connections for proper polarity. If necessary, reverse any out of phase connections. Only
one speaker wired out of phase is usually the culprit.
Placement and Operation
e slim prole design of the FS5 allows it to easily blend in when mounted
above or below a at panel display. e speaker can be mounted most simply by
using the 4 self-adhesive feet included in the accessory bag, and placing the speaker
on a sturdy shelf or table.
You can also
wall mount the
speaker using the
keyhole brackets
built into the back
of the speaker. Be sure
to anchor the speaker
properly to avoid damaging
your walls or the speaker.
e Shelf-2405 is another great
option for the FS5. e Shelf-2405
is a kit that consists of a pair of metal
shelves that t on top of a at panel display.
Check out www.atlantictechnology.com
under “soundbars” for more information.

Listening Levels and Power
Handling – IMPORTANT!
e power recommendation for these speaker
components assumes that you will not operate
your amplier/receiver in a way that produces
distortion. Even rugged speakers like FS5 can be
damaged by a moderately powered system driven
beyond its intended capacity. e harsh amplier
clipping that occurs in this situation will cause
damage to the speaker system. is type of damage is easily identiable through examination of
the damaged speaker’s voice coil and is not covered by the warranty. e FS5 will play very
loudly when provided with enough clean power
to do so. Again, consult your dealer or Atlantic
Technology for additional information.
Figure 3
Typical arrangement for speakers in a home theater. For best results, place the sur-
round speakers within the shaded area. Note that the surround speakers are marked
Le and Right. It is important that the speakers be placed correctly for proper imaging.
Mounting
e FS5 speakers can be mounted in a variety of ways:
Attaching an FS5 to a at-screen mount or articulating mount:
Check with the manufacturer of your atscreen wall bracket. Most manufacturers
offer an optional hardware kit to allow for mounting a sound bar to the TV mount.
e FS5 features a pair of
1
/4-20 screws to attach the speaker to the bracket.
On the wall:
To mount your speakers on a wall, we have installed metal key-hole brackets on the
back of the FS5 speakers. Be sure to use a strong screw whose head and sha will
t within the keyhole opening and slot. Also be sure to drive the screw well into a
stud or use a mounting device (such as a molly-bolt) that is capable of holding the
weight of the speaker. Never simply drive a nail or screw into a sheet rock or other
wall materials. Always follow the above guidelines for safe speaker mounting.
On a table or shelf:
Adhesive rubber feet are included.

/4-20 threaded inserts in the back of the cabinet. Use
Care and Feeding of Your Speakers
Clean your speaker cabinets using a so 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 uids on
the driver cones or domes. It may be best to
dampen the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe
the speakers. Use a so cloth, but do not use any
paper products, because no matter how so they
may feel, they will scratch the nish. Aer carefully removing the grilles from the speakers, clean
them with a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment. is should remove any
dust accumulation. Avoid placing your speakers
in direct sunlight or near a source of heat that
may, over time, damage the nish.
Important: Save Your Boxes!
If possible, save the cartons, packing pieces,
and plastic bags that came with your speakers. ey 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 nd
such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immediately for the proper
return procedure.
