Features
●
Power output rated at 75 watts
Coupled with our highly efficient driver, this subwoofer is capable of surprising
performance.
●
Working frequency range from 20Hz to 150Hz
●
Continuously adjustable low-pass filter from 60Hz to 125Hz
The slope of the low-pass filter is -24 dB/octave. This allows for flexible integration
with most any brand or type of speaker on the market.

Line level inputs and outputs with RCA connectors
The model 162 PBM features stereo inputs and outputs for convenient hookup,
and to provide easy “daisy-chaining” to another subwoofer, if desired.
●
High-level (Speaker Level) inputs and outputs with spring-type connectors
These provide convenient hookup to a sound source that does not have line-level
outputs for a subwoofer.
●
Phase-invert switch (+/-180 degrees)
Allows matching with systems whose output are phase inverted, and to
compensate for unusual room acoustics.
●
Woofer output level control
Matches a wide range of source levels.

Model 162 PBM High
Performance Subwoofer
Introduction
Congratulations on choosing an Atlantic Technology Powered Subwoofer. Our
subwoofers feature proprietary amplifiers and special high excursion woofers. The
sealed acoustic suspension cabinet configuration provides extended, tight, deep bass in
a compact, room-friendly design.
Connection
Atlantic Technology Powered Subwoofers are simple to hook up, offering several
connection methods for maximum flexibility. Study the system diagrams starting on
page 5. 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
For best performance, we suggest using the low-level (RCA style jacks) subwoofer line
out or preamp outputs if your receiver/amplifier has them. Simply connect your
subwoofer with high quality shielded cables as shown in the diagrams.
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. Be certain that no stray
wire strands are touching across the two terminals as this might damage your amplifier
when you turn it on.
We recommend that you connect your subwoofer using high quality wire of 16 gauge
or larger for lengths up to 25 feet. There are many manufacturers who specialize in
speaker wire and interconnects suitable for your new system. We recommend that you
consult your local audio/video specialist for more specific information.
Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always unplug all
component AC cords before proceeding with speaker and component connections.
