Page 4: System Design/Applications
Prior to installation, it is essential to determine the type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers. There are two typical applications that ATON LCR Theater Speakers will be used for: Home Theater and Stereo/ Critical Listening. - Page 5 Storm Series LCR Theater Speakers A53W A82SW In-Wall Subwoofer A53W Figure 2.2: Home Theater - All In-Wall Application A53W A82SW In-Wall Subwoofer A83C Figure 2.3: Home Theater - Ceiling/In-Wall Application © 2007 • All rights reserved.

- Page 6 Stereo/Critical Listening In areas that have a defi ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected to their own channel of a stereo receiver or amplifi er.

Page 7: Installation
Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage (video, speaker wires, Cat- 5, telephone, etc.) wires wherever possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends. - Page 8 Note 2: It is recommended that you use quality CL-2 or CL-3 rated stranded speaker wire when installing ATON speakers. Solid-core “Romex” type wire is not acceptable! Use at least 16AWG speaker wire for runs up to 100 feet, and at least 14 AWG speaker wire for runs up to 200 feet.
- Page 9 If not using speaker rough-in brackets, staple speaker wire runs in a loose zigzag between the studs where the speaker is to be mounted to make it easier to fi nd the cable after the drywall is installed. Zig-zagging the cable also allows fl exibility in the placement of the speaker.
- Page 10 In a pre-construction installation, walls and ceilings are open with no drywall installed. This is desirable and allows the installer greater access than in retro-fi t applications. ATON model BK82C Rough-In Brackets are specifi cally designed to work with A83C speakers while model BK52W Rough-In Brackets are designed to work with A53W speakers.
- Page 11 Mounting Rough-In Brackets Once the mounting locations are decided upon, assemble the brackets and secure them to the ceiling joists or wall studs using fl at-head screws or heavy-duty staples (see the ATON Ceiling/In- Wall Rough-In Brackets Manual for detailed steps).
- Page 12 fi t. 5. Once the speaker is mounted in the ceiling, twist the baffl e to aim the mid-range driver at the listening area. See Pointing the Mid-Range for details.
- Page 13 Once the audio system is connected and the speakers have been completely installed (with the grilles off), it is time to point the mid-range driver at the listening area. 1. Ensure that the LOCK screw located on the speaker baffl e is loosened by turning it counter-clockwise. See Figure 3.12.
- Page 14 3. Connect the speaker wire. BE SURE TO OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY! 4. Insert the speaker into the opening in the wall (or Rough-in Bracket opening) and care- fully tighten each of the six clamping screws, alternating diagonally between each screw position to ensure proper fi...
