LCR2
Compact High Performance
Loudspeaker
Thank you for choosing Atlantic Technology home
theater products. Your new speaker system is precision
craed to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free serv-
ice. is manual covers the Atlantic Technology LCR2.
e LCR2 is a versatile loudspeaker that can be used in
any position in a home theater such as a le or right
channel or a center channel or even a surround channel.
Each LCR2 consists of a low resonance DF cabinet,
3.5˝ CPP driver, 3/4˝ silk dome tweeter and high quality
crossover components. e LCR2 is designed for use
with all surround formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS or
Dolby Atmos.
Positioning the LCR2 as a Front,
Center or Surround Channe Speaker
We recommend placing the LCR2 with the tweeters
facing upward. Set the receiver bass management or
speaker size to “small” and the crossover to 100Hz.
Alternatively, if you have limited room you can use the
LCR2 horizontal positioned just like a center channel.
We have included four 4mm rubber feet in each accessory
bag to mount to the bottom of the cabinet depending on
how you choose to place the speaker.
Connecting Your System
We recommend that you connect your LCR2 speaker
systems with high quality dual conductor stranded wire
of 18 gauge or larger, for lengths up to 25 feet. Use 16
gauge dual conductor or larger for longer runs of wire.
Contact your local audio/video specialist for specic
cable recommendations and further information for
special circumstances.
Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or da age
to your equip ent, always switch off the a plier or
receiver when aking connections to the speaker.
You can connect your LCR2 speakers by using a variety
of audio connectors, or you can:
Strip about 1/2˝ (13mm) of insulation from the connect-
ing wires. Connect them to the appropriate push termi-
nal, being careful to observe polarity (positive to the red
terminal, negative to the black terminal).
Whether you are connecting a complete LCR2 system,
or adding a single speaker component to your present
system, the wiring should look like the diagram in Fig-
ure 2.
Figure 2: Typical wiring diagra for speakers in a ho e theater.
Figure 1: Gold plated spring posts. Accepts up to 14 gauge bare wire.
Warning: Before turning on the a plier, be certain that no
stray wire strands are touching across the two ter inals as this
ight da age your a plier.
Finally, check the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some music.
If the sound seems hollow, unusually spread out, or has weak bass, recheck
your connections for proper polarity. If necessary, reverse any out of phase
connections. Only one speaker wired out of phase is usually the culprit.

P acement and Operation
Speaker/room interactions have a huge impact on the sound of the system.
oving the speakers just a little bit can make a dramatic difference in what you
hear. e ultra-compact design of LCR2 provides you with maximum placement
exibility while creating a large, seamless, acoustically accurate soundeld for your
home theater or music system. e best placement of the speakers will vary from
room to room. Use the following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting
point. But also feel free to experiment. In fact, it may be benecial to hook up the
speakers with some extra wire and to simply drape the wire across the oor before
installing the speakers permanently. is will allow you the opportunity to move
the speakers around easily so you can nd the best sonic and visual locations.
Typical arrange ent for speakers in a ho e theater. For best results, place the sur-
round speakers within the shaded area. Note that the surround speakers are arked
Le and Right. It is i portant that the speakers be placed correctly for proper i aging.
Mounting
e LCR2 speakers can be mounted
in a variety of ways:
On speaker stands:
We recommend speaker stands with
an approximate height of 29˝ above
the oor. Ideally the tweeter of the
speaker should be at ear level when
seated.
On the wa :
To mount your speakers on a wall,
we have installed metal key-hole
brackets on the back of the LCR2
speakers. Be sure to use a strong
screw whose head and sha will t
within the keyhole opening and
slot. Also be sure to drive the screw well into a stud or use a mounting device (such
as a molly-bolt) that is capable of holding the weight of the speaker. Never simply
drive a nail or screw into a sheet rock or other wall materials. Always follow the
above guidelines for safe speaker mounting.

Adhesive rubber feet are included.
Listening Leve s and Power
Hand ing – IMPORTANT!
e power recommendation for these speaker
components assumes that you will not operate
your amplier/receiver in a way that produces
distortion. Even rugged speakers like LCR2 can
be damaged by a moderately powered system
driven beyond its intended capacity. e harsh
amplier clipping that occurs in this situation will
cause damage to the speaker system. is type of
damage is easily identiable through examination
of the damaged speaker’s voice coil and is not cov-
ered by the warranty. e LCR2 will play very
loudly when provided with enough clean power
to do so. Again, consult your dealer or Atlantic
Technology for additional information.
Care and Feeding of Your Speakers
Clean your speaker cabinets using a so cloth
moistened with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner
being careful not to wet the edges of the cabinet.
Also, be careful not to get any cleaning uids on
the driver cones or domes. It may be best to
dampen the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe
the speakers. Use a so cloth, but do not use any
paper products, because no matter how so they
may feel, they will scratch the nish. Aer care-
fully removing the grilles from the speakers, clean
them with a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment. is should remove any
dust accumulation. Avoid placing your speakers
in direct sunlight or near a source of heat that
may, over time, damage the nish.
Important: Save Your Boxes!
If possible, save the cartons, packing pieces,
and plastic bags that ca e with your speak-
ers. ey will be useful in case you ove or
have to ship your loudspeakers for any rea-
son. In any case, save all packing aterials
until you are certain that the syste s have
suffered no da age in ship ent. If you nd
such da age, either visible or internal, con-
tact your dealer i ediately for the proper
return procedure.
