Unpacking the Speakers

Use care when unpacking the speakers. Remember to save all packing
materials until you are certain that the speakers have suffered no damage
in shipment. If you find such damage, either visible or internal, contact your
dealer immediately.

If you can do so, save the carton, packing pieces, and plastic bags that came
with your speakers. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship
your speakers for any reason.

Although it may seem like asking for driving directions,

Model AW-5 Indoor/Outdoor Speaker

Congratulations on your purchase of the Atlantic Technology AW-5 indoor/
outdoor speakers. Utilizing tough, environmentally-resistant materials and
state-of-the-art acoustic design, the AW-5 lets you take Atlantic Technology's
famous sound outdoors.

The advanced design of these speakers deliver detailed, articulate sound
for a dramatic listening experience. Each speaker contains a MLH (Min­eral Loaded Homopolymer) 5 1/4" (134mm) woofer and an advanced 1"
(25mm) ferrofluid-cooled, titanium tweeter with a powerful neodymium
magnet structure. The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert, heav­ily-reinforced enclosure made from mineral-filled polypropylene. This is
a far more neutral, less “ringy” material than is typically used with con­ventional outdoor speakers, and it contributes to the AW-5’s amazingly
musical sound.

All the component parts of the AW-5 have been designed for durability
under harsh conditions: UV and impact resistant cabinets, aluminum
powder-coated grilles and mounting brackets, and gold-plated speaker
terminals.

Speaker Placement

AW-5

Placement has a significant impact on the sound of your system. Please take
a few minutes to experiment with different speaker locations to assure that
you obtain adequate coverage of your primary listening area before you
commit to running speaker wire and permanently attaching the mount­ing brackets.

The speakers should be far enough apart that you get a good stereo “image”
when they are playing, but not so far apart that the sound seems to come
only from each individual speaker. Six to ten feet (2-3 meters) is usually
the best distance.

Wall- or corner-mounting will tend to increase the speaker’s apparent bass
output compared to a free-standing speaker, so take this into consideration
when choosing a mounting location.

Although the AW-5 speakers are constructed of the highest quality materi­als, common sense should be observed when using them. Placement under
the eaves reduces the speaker’s exposure to direct sunlight and precipita­tion, which tends to increase the speaker’s life and minimize any potential
weather-related wear and tear. (See figure 2)
