Atlantic Technology 10 CSB Operating manual

You want great bass. You don’t want to see the
subwoofer. You don’t want to cut your walls. Think
all is lost? Well, now you’re a winner with Atlantic’s
In-Corner Subwoofers.
This new model, the 10 CSB, utilizes a super heavy-
duty driver that can really pump out the bass. It’s
shaped to snug unobtrusively right into the corner,
out of sight, but definitely not out of ear! Corner-
mounting the sub actually reinforces the bass, in
addition to hiding the sub. The days of the “ugly
box” sub are gone forever—and no walls to cut!
No quality home theater or music system is
complete without the ability to effortlessly
reproduce the last one-and-a-half octaves of
sound—the deep bass. A powered subwoofer
provides the deep bass that adds drama to the
action scenes in a movie and makes music come
alive. Clean, powerful deep bass is what separates
a great sound system from a merely good one.
Atlantic subwoofers use the same design approach
in all our subs—from low-priced to high—to produce
consistently realistic, convincing bass effects.
Our subs vary in how loud they’ll play and what
size room they’re most suited to. But our quality
doesn’t vary. Big room or small, from loud to
soft, the sound quality of an Atlantic Technology
subwoofer is always top-notch.
Our subwoofers include powerful low-distortion
amplifiers and low-resonance, long-throw drivers,
housed in a heavily-braced, non-resonant sealed
box enclosure. We have chosen this “acoustic
suspension” approach because it ensures
™

market
smooth, uniform bass all the way down to the lowest audible
frequencies with no unwanted peaks or dips. It does not hype
any frequency and it never falls into the trap of substituting
loud, muddy “one note” bass in place of accurate, extended,
natural response.
But Atlantic doesn’t stop there. We have developed an
exclusive design feature called Clear Filter Technology™
that assures clean, articulate, musical bass reproduction
at all times, regardless of how loud you play our subs. Lots
of companies have “limiters,” “feedback loops” or other
distortion-reducing circuits to prevent audible degradation
of the sound at high volumes. These work fine as far as they
go, but they don’t go far enough. In addition to conventional
distortion-reduction methods, Atlantic has incorporated special
circuitry into the subwoofer amplifier that actually eliminates
the deleterious effects that the enclosure itself has on the
sound. That’s why other subwoofers, regardless of their power
ratings or their limiters, can’t match the sound of an Atlantic
subwoofer for detail and musical accuracy. CFT™ was initially
developed for our award-winning $20,000 System 8200, but
this benefit can now be found in all Atlantic subwoofers,
regardless of price.

Specifications subject to change without notice.
The Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer
has been engineered using the latest technology
and finest components available.
High-Performance Driver – Long-throw composite cone driver with vented motor
structure and oversized, high temperature voice coil. This powerful driver has a very
stiff cone that acts like a piston throughout its operating range. The massive motor
assembly and high temperature component parts deliver exceptional performance
and reliability.
Sealed Enclosure Design – Sealed enclosure woofer designs are inherently low
in distortion, and deliver deep smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable
roll-off below resonance. As with all Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid
close attention to providing accurate musical bass reproduction along with terrific
special effects.
High-Current Amplifier – The output stage of this amplifier is capable of very
high current delivery for exceptional driver control and cool operation. It has been
precision matched and equalized to our rugged driver.
Together they deliver powerful, controlled bass with great articulation and authority,
with a useful in-room working frequency range of 25Hz to 150Hz.
Adjustable (40Hz to 140Hz)@18dB per Octave Low Pass Crossover – The
steep upper end roll-off slope of 18dB per octave allows for much better bass
integration with the satellite speakers while making the woofer less localizable.
Complete Hookup Flexibility – The subwoofer has low-level inputs; a Y-adapter is
included to allow daisy-chaining or to split the receiver/processor’s output to drive
multiple subs. There are also high-level inputs and outputs which include high-pass
filtering tailored for use with Atlantic satellites.

Phase Invert Switch – This switch allows precise
acoustic matching with satellite speaker systems whose
output may be phase reversed. This switch also allows
you to compensate for unusual room acoustics that may
occur when the woofer is physically separated from the
main speakers.
Automatic Standby Operation with LED Indicator
Automatic standby features signal sensing turn-on with
a 7-10 minute turn-off delay. There’s a multi-color LED
status indicator that lets you know when the unit is on
or in standby. Automatic Standby can be defeated by
placing the rear-mounted switch in the ON position.
