Atlantic Technology ICTS 6.3e Operating manual

Our newly-styled tweeter island is more than just another pretty face—the
speakers’ high-frequency response is even smoother than the original!
The ICTS-8.3e and 6.3e TriMode™ ceiling mount speakers are the perfect
high quality, multi-purpose solutions for any surround-sound or whole-house
music installations where stealth is a key requirement. Their unique dual voice
coil woofers and dual 1” soft-dome tweeters allow them to be configured for
mono, stereo, or TriVector™ Surround (partial dipole) operation, providing the
best coverage for every application. With a discreet profile combined with
great sound and easy installation, there are no excuses for not having great
music and special effects wherever you want them!
The ICTS-8.3e and 6.3e feature carbon loaded mica/poly cones, rubber
surrounds, high-temperature voice coils, advanced computer optimized
crossovers, gold-plated heavy-duty connectors, and simple rotating clamp
mounting. A front mounted Normal/TriVector™ selector and High Frequency
level control round out the feature set of these high-performance speakers.
Simply put, these innovative ceiling speakers make it possible to have
spectacular sound in almost any room in your home, and they are ideal for
delivering superior surround sound effects when room layout or aesthetic
considerations preclude mounting conventional rear-channel surround
speakers on the walls.

Benefits of Atlantic’s
Unique TriMode Operation
Mono – The dual voice coil woofers and dual tweeters can be wired to
produce a mono signal and then used in pairs for standard stereo music
reproduction.
Stereo – The speaker can be wired to deliver full 2-channel stereo sound
from a single loudspeaker, giving you great sound quality with only one
unobtrusive round ceiling grille showing. This is ideal for small spaces like a
dressing area/master closet or a small hallway where installing two separate
speakers is impractical.
TriVector Surround – Wired in this manner the speaker delivers a diffuse
upper midrange and high frequency sound that helps to create a convincing,
three-dimensional surround sound that draws you into the action.
High Frequency Level Control – This 3-position switch (–, 0, +) allows
the speakers’ high-frequency balance to be tailored for reflective, normal,
and absorptive acoustic environments. This means the speakers will always
sound “right,” whether the room has hardwood floors and glass sliding
doors, or thick cut-pile carpeting and overstuffed furniture.
