“POWERED-PASSIVE” SPEAKER PAIR HOOKUP & ADJUSTMENT CONNEXION ET RÉGLAGE D’UNE PAIRE D’ENCEINTES «ACTIVE-PASSIVE» This pair of Self-Powered Atrium Speakers makes it easy to take your music with you to remote locations. You can even use them to add superb stereo sound to a non-amplified source such as a television. Cette paire d’enceintes Atrium vous permet d’avoir du son de qualité audiophile dans toute la maison.
• Your Atrium Powered Speaker can be either the left or right speaker of a stereo pair, depending on convenient placement near a standard household AC power source. Use the “balance” control of your electronics to send the signal alternately to the left and then to the right. If you find stereo imaging is “backwards” after you’ve hooked up the Speaker Wire inputs, simply switch the Left & Right inputs to flip-flop the Left & Right images. Be sure to maintain terminal color consistency (polarity).
SETTING VOLUME WITH SECONDARY VOLUME CONTROL AJUSTER LE VOLUME À L’AIDE DU CONTRÔLE DE VOLUME SECONDAIRE The Secondary Volume Control for the Atrium 45p Speakers is located on the front of the Powered Speaker below the grille [figure 12]. It is factory set at the halfway point position. You can use this secondary volume control to set the volume level of the speakers. Le contrôle de volume secondaire des enceintes Atrium 45p est situé à l’avant de l’enceinte active sous la grille [figure 12].
• Prior to installation, hold the speaker in the chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/ window frames. • Avant d’installer l’enceinte, tenez-la à l’endroit choisi pour vous assurer qu’elle sera suffisamment dégagée du plafond, des murs adjacents, des coins, des poutres, des luminaires et des cadres de portes et de fenêtres.
