3. Collegamenti elettrici

The Atrium 8 SDI features a unique patented single/dual input switch, allowing flexible configuration.

  • Single Speaker Mode: If using only one Atrium 8 SDI speaker, set the input switch to 'Single'. Connect both the left and right channel outputs from your amplifier to the speaker's binding posts. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
  • L/R Pair Mode: If using two Atrium 8 SDI speakers as a stereo pair, set the input switch on each speaker to 'Dual'. Connect the left channel output from your amplifier to one speaker and the right channel output to the other. Ensure correct polarity for both speakers.

Operativo

1. Accensione/Spegnimento

The Atrium 8 SDI is a passive speaker and does not have its own power switch. It receives power and audio signals directly from your connected amplificatore. Assicurati che il tuo amplifier is correctly connected and powered on to operate the speaker.

2. Sound Optimization

The speaker incorporates Power Port Technology to enhance bass performance and a broad coverage baffle design for immersive sound.

  • Power Port Bass Venting: This patented design directs airflow downwards, adding 3dB of deep, extended bass output. Ensure the port is clear of obstructions for optimal performance.
  • Broad Sound Coverage: The speaker's design is optimized to fill medium-to-large outdoor spaces with full-range sound. Experiment with the speaker's angle using the mounting bracket to achieve the best sound dispersion for your specific listening area.
