T h E A T O M I C C L R S E R I E S THE CLR SERIES is a range of professional, reference quality loudspeakers from, Atomic Amplifiers, the world’s first and leading company designing amplification and monitoring solutions for amp modelers / profilers. The current offering includes both CAB and WEDGE formats that come in active and passive versions. Products in the CLR Series are designed and built with the performing or studio guitarist in mind, but are also extremely effective for acoustic guitars, vocals, keyboards and other electronic instruments, and any other application where a FRFR system is needed. The CLR Series represents a highly accurate and superior-sounding solution for the modern digital guitar rig. They ensure that...

S Y S T E M D E S C R I P T I O N The Atomic CLR is a two-way coincident loudspeaker consisting of a heavy-duty, horn-loaded 12” cone transducer for low frequencies and a high-output, 1”-exit compression driver with a 1.75” voice coil driving a constant-directivity type horn for high frequencies. The enclosure is constructed of 12-ply, void-free plywood throughout, with internal structural details that serve both to form the low- frequency horn shape and to add substantial structural rigidity. Non-powered versions of the CLR incorporate a heavy-duty passive crossover designed to optimize amplitude response and preserve the integrity of transient signals. Powered versions include two independent channels of power amplification - one each for low and high frequencies - and a line-level active crossover that employs digital signal processing. The power amplifier topology is...

ACTIvE CAb AND WEDgE PANEL ExPLANATIONS 1. H eat Sink – Allows the CLR Series to be fanless and “studio quiet”. It keeps amp modules and power supply cool by drawing heat from them and dissipating it into the open air. Please note: The heat sink will get warm to the touch while the amp is powered “on” even when the amp is at idle. This is normal and is well within regulated operating guidelines.

PASSIvE CAb AND WEDgE PANEL ExPLANATIONS 1. I nput – ¼” / Speakon Combo input jack for the speaker system. 2. Thru – ¼” / Speakon Combo pass though to send signal to another system. gAIN STRUCTURE SETUP fOR ACTIvE SPEAkERS Optimizing gain structure is an important step in minimizing noise and preventing signal overload (clipping). There are three level controls on the panel of active CLR speakers. After connecting all the devices in your signal chain and powering up (remember CLR last on, first off), follow the procedure below to insure optimal gain structure. 1. S et the Master and both Input level controls to their lowest (CCW) settings. 2. I f you will be using two input signals, perform this step with the one you expect to be louder. (Note: You will hear little or no sound during this step.) Apply the hottest (loudest) signal you expect to generate.
