FS-5000 Flat Screen Speaker System

A higher performance all-in-
one for flat panel displays

Home Theater could be the most enjoyable, significant development in at-home
entertainment to come along in a generation. Being able to literally “go to the movies”
in one’s own living room has completely transformed the experience of watching
television.

Great sound is an integral, essential component to the theater experience at home. The
downside for most people comes from having to mount and wire speakers all over their
room. It’s inconvenient, confusing, and unsightly.

Enter Atlantic’s innovative FS-5000 Front Stage Loudspeaker. Based upon our
acclaimed FS-4000, this sleek, 50”-long unit contains three, more powerful, front
speakers—left, center, and right—in a single enclosure. It’s perfect for the growing
number of customers who just want a simple, attractive, one-piece speaker solution
under their flat-screen television, without all the visual clutter of separate left, center,
and right speakers surrounding their stylish, thin TV. The cabinet is internally separated
into three chambers, each with a 1” tweeter and two 4½” magnetically-shielded
woofers. Bass response extends down to 70Hz, for full-bodied sound even without a
subwoofer.

All three speakers in the FS-5000 have two rear-panel controls—a 3-position HF
Energy switch and a 2-position Boundary Compensation switch—to optimize the
speakers’ performance regardless of room acoustics or placement. These controls
allow the FS-5000 to always sound its best.

The FS-5000 uses the same driver and crossover technology as our highly-
acclaimed 2200, FS-3200 and FS-4000 systems, so there is absolutely
no compromise in sound quality or tonal accuracy by having the
three front channels in a single enclosure. With the FS-
5000, it’s now possible to enjoy the legendary
Atlantic sound from speakers that blend
right into the room.

FS-5000 Flat Screen Speaker System

Mounting Options

Four mounting options, included with speakers:

1. “Straight Ahead” wall bracket holds the speaker
½” off the wall pointing straight ahead.

2. “Angled” wall bracket—angles the
speaker up or down, depending on
whether it’s mounted above or below
the video display.

Notice that the FS-5000’s tweeters

are offset above the centerline of the

woofers. This is a perfect example
of the way that Atlantic pays close

attention to acoustic details. By moving

the tweeters up, we significantly

reduce the audibly-intrusive
interference patterns that result from
woofers and tweeters being mounted

side-by-side.

Gloss Black Finish

3. Keyhole mount (on the rear
of the speaker), for simple
flush wall mounting.

4. Using Atlantic’s exclusive center channel rocker base, the FS-5000 can
be used as a freestanding speaker on a TV or on a shelf.
