Storm Series Outdoor Speakers
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing ATON Storm Series Outdoor Speakers. All models were voiced in our sound labs by musicians with years of critical listening experience and crafted for your listening enjoyment. To see the complete line of ATON products, visit us online at www.atonhome.com.
Storm Series Outdoor Speakers are designed to extend the listening experience into areas not traditionally associated with high quality sound: the Great Outdoors! The 041/O51/O61 line provides high quality sound at affordable prices for traditional stereo or mono listening areas. Injection-Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers and 1¨ Treated Soft-Dome Tweeters provide deep, rich bass and smooth highs for an authetic, exciting listening experience. The 062 and 062ST mod­els use Woven Fiberglas Woofers and 1¨ Aluminum Tweeters for even better sound quality that will last for years in any weather conditions. The 062 is designed for typical stereo and mono applications while the O62ST is a Dual-Voice Coil (DVC) design that allows stereo signals to play from a single speaker!
Storm Series Outdoor Speakers are also ideal for use indoors, too! Use them as primary stereo speakers in any system, or connect them as rear surround speakers in Home Theater systems. The O62ST can also be used in areas such as hallways, laundry rooms and kitchens to provide full stereo sound in unexpected places.

2. System Design/Applications
ATON Outdoor speakers are designed primarily to be used in areas such as back yards, porches, decks, etc. Because of the diversity of possible installation scenarios, pay particular attention to which type of application is most appropriate for the environment in which the speakers will be installed.
Stereo
In areas that have a defi ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected to their own channel of a stereo receiver or amplifi er. This application provides the best sound quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a defi ned listening position. Figure 2.1 shows an example of an outdoor stereo listening area.

Mono/DVC
In many instances, mono or DVC setup will provide a better listening experience in outdoor areas. Mono applications combine the left and right signals to provide the full sound of a piece of music to each speaker in the system without left/right separation. DVC applications send the left signal to one voice coil and the right signals to another voice coil, essentially creating a stereo pair in one speaker cabinet. Use mono or DVC setups for any area that does not have a defi ned listening area.
