Instruction Manual

Description

The 3.1 HSB Speaker Base is an integrated high-performance loudspeaker system con-

taining all three front channel speakers (LCR) and a powered subwoofer in a single

elegant, slim enclosure. Used in tandem with any A/V receiver and you have a spec-

tacular full featured home theater system. The subwoofer is powered by an internal 80

watt ampliﬁer that uses the SUB line level output from the A/V receiver. The subwoofer

also incorporates H-PAS technology to produce the lowest frequency response possible

from a cabinet this size, down to room shaking 35 Hz. The front channels require the

external ampliﬁers, found in all A/V receivers to power them. All this is wrapped up in a

4 3/4" tall cabinet designed to ﬁt directly under your ﬂat screen TV.

The 3.1HSB is designed for use with the latest generation of ﬂat screen video displays.

The advanced design of this speaker base delivers detailed, articulate sound for a dra-

matic viewing experience. Each of the three separate internal chambers contains a

complete speaker system. Each speaker system is comprised of two 3 ½-inch (89mm)

composite paper cone woofers, and an advanced 3/4-inch (19mm) ferroﬂuid-cooled,

damped soft-dome tweeter.

The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert, heavily braced MDF enclosure that will

support a ﬂat screen display weighing up to 100lbs.

The 3.1 HSB Speaker Base is designed to support the weight of

today's ﬂat-panel video displays, in sizes up to 65 inches weighing up

to 100 lbs (45kg), and must be placed upon a ﬂat, level, and sturdy

surface, capable of safely supporting the total weight involved.

Cautions:

• The video display's stand or feet must rest fully within the ﬂat area of the top of the 3.1 HSB speaker base,

and not on its grille. This ﬂat area is 33 x 14 5/8" (838 x 372mm).

• As recommended by many display makers, we also strongly suggest that you tether the display to the wall,

especially if there are children in your home.

• Do not place objects between the speaker base and the surface it sits on - they could interfere with the

downward ﬁring woofer.

• This unit contains non-magnetic shielded speakers. Do not place magnetically sensitive items (hard disk

drive, CRT TVs, etc.) near the unit.

8. Front Left, Center, Right Speaker Inputs

Connecting Your System

Follow the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM to connect the 3.1HSB to your system.

SUBWOOFER: Use a quality RCA cable to connect from the SUB output on your A/V

receiver to the subwoofer INPUT (7) on the back of the 3.1 HSB.

FRONT CHANNEL SPEAKERS: Using high quality dual conductor stranded wire of

16 gauge or heavier, connect the speaker wires from the output terminals on the A/V

Receiver to the appropriate speaker input terminals on the back of the 3.1 HSB. The

lower the gauge number, the heavier the wire. Use heavier gauge wire for runs over 25'

(7.62m).

Remove ½ inch (6mm) of insulation from the end of each wire. Push down on the ter-

minal connector and an opening will appear in the connector that is capable of hold-

ing heavy gauge wire. Insert the bare wire into the opening and release the terminal. Be

sure to observe correct polarity, connecting the positive (+) leads to the red terminals and

Rear View

Instruction Manual

the negative (-) leads to the black terminals. Look carefully at the wires you are using and

note that one of the conductors of each pair will typically be identiﬁed by color print-

ing on the outer jacket, ridges on the outer jacket, or a thread intertwined with the wire

strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected to the red (+) terminal. Also be

sure that no stray strands of wire touch across any terminals.

WARNING: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always

switch off the ampliﬁer or receiver when making any system connections.

POWER SUPPLY:

A separate power supply and power supply cable have been

included with your system. After the audio connections have been made, connect the

cable from the power supply to the DC IN jack on the rear of the speaker base. Then

connect the power supply cable to the power supply and plug it into an active outlet.

NOTE:

The power supply provided is capable of operating from 100-240 volts 50-60Hz.

WARNING: Before turning on the A/V receiver, be certain that no stray wire strands are

touching across any terminals as this might damage it.

Finally, recheck the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some music with

good bass content. If the sound seems “hollow”, unusually spread out, or seem to

have weak bass, reinspect your connections for proper polarity and correct any out of

phase connections.

3.1 HSB Speaker Base System with H-PAS

RECOMMENDED SETUP

Use your A/V receiver to handle all the low and high-pass functions.

Set the 3.1 HSB's subwoofer amp settings as follows:

Standby: Auto

Lowpass Bypass

Phase: Normal

Level: 11 o'clock position

Refer to your A/V receiver's instructions to set its speaker conﬁguration as follows:

L, C, R, SR size: Small

L, C, R, SR Hi-pass: 125Hz

Subwoofer: ON

Subwoofer Low-pass 125 Hz

ALTERNATE SETUP

Should you wish to ﬁne-tune the subwoofer manually, begin with the above set-

tings, then:

• Change the A/V receiver's subwoofer lowpass frequency to its highest setting.

• Enable the 3.1 HSB's lowpass ﬁlter by moving its rear-panel switch to the

LOWPASS position.

• Adjust the Lowpass Frequency and Phase controls on the 3.1 HSB.

LOWPASS FREQUENCY

We recommend using an initial setting of 125Hz (around 2 o'clock) for the

3.1 HSB, and adjusting from that point. The goal is to obtain a smooth transition

between the subwoofer and the front channels, and produce a cohesive and well

integrated sound “picture.”

To do this, play something with a "walking bass line", where some of the bass

notes are played by the front channels, and some by the subwoofer. A good exam-

ple of this is Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic."

While listening, adjust the lowpass control to avoid excessive overlap (too-loud

notes) or acoustic gap (missing or weak notes) in the cross-over area.

In the end, a little time spent ﬁne-tuning will generally result in dramatically better

bass response.

PHASE CONTROL

This switch allows precise acoustic matching of the subwoofer with the front chan-

nels. Try in both positions, and use the position that results in the strongest bass

output, especially in the front channel-to-subwoofer cross-over area.

Instruction Manual

Care of Your Speaker

Clean your cabinet using a soft, lint-free cloth. If you wish, you can slightly moisten

the cloth with plain water. Do not use any other cleaning agents or chemicals. Be care-

ful not to get any water on the driver cones or tweeter domes. After carefully removing

the grille from the speaker, gently clean it with a very slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

To remove the grille; gently pull the grille straight forward from the cabinet starting

at both ends working towards the middle until it is fully free from the cabinet. Do not

use a tool or pick as this may cause damage.

Troubleshooting Guide

Once your speaker base is set up, you should have many years of maintenance free

enjoyment from your system. However, if you should encounter a problem, refer to

the following guide to help you ﬁnd the solution. If a problem persists, you should

contact your local authorized Atlantic Technology dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The power recommendaon for this speaker assumes that you will not operate your ampliﬁer/receiver in a way that produces

distoron. Even rugged speakers like ours can be damaged by an ampliﬁer driven into audible distoron. The harsh ampliﬁer

distoron (“clipping”) that occurs in this situaon will eventually cause damage to the speaker system. This type of damage may

be cumulave and can build up over me, as the ampliﬁer is driven into overload again and again. Such damage is easily idenﬁ-

able through examinaon of the damaged speaker’s voice coil and is not covered by the warranty
