Model FS-3200 LR and FS-3200 C Speakers
The Model FS-3200LR and FS-3200C Speakers are high-performance 2-
way systems intended for use with the latest generation of flat screen video
displays. The advanced design of these speakers deliver detailed, articulate
sound, for a dramatic viewing experience. Each speaker contains two
GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4½-inch (115mm) woofers, two
GLH 4½-inch Pressure Drivers and an advanced 1” (25mm) ferrofluid-
cooled, damped soft dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet
structure. The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert, heavily braced
MDF enclosure and are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close
to any type of video monitor without concern of video interference.
For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front-
channel speakers must have the same essential tonal balance. Therefore,
using two FS-3200LR speakers and an FS-3200C speaker across your front
soundstage for the Left, Center, and Right channels will provide an excep-
tionally smooth and coherent sonic signature.
Acoustic Controls
System FS-3200 includes unique acoustic controls to help maximize its
performance in your room. These controls are explained in greater detail
on page 9.

Optional Model 2200 SR Surround Speakers
The Model 2200 SR Dipole/Bipole Surround Speakers (Figure 3) are
intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems as dedicated
side or back surround channel speakers. The 2200 SR enclosure has two
4 ½” (115mm) GLH woofers and two of the same high performance soft
dome tweeters found in the 2200 front speakers. The surround speakers
can be switched between Dipole and Bipole operation. These settings are
explained on page 8, “Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers.”
Because of their small size, both the model 920 LR and 1200 LR make an
excellent surround speaker. When using either LR as a surround speaker,
the best results will be obtained if the speakers do not aim directly at the
listening area. Mount the LR's on the side walls, above and slightly behind
the listening position (See page 6).

NOTE: Although the speakers in the Atlantic Tech-
nology System FS-3200 are acoustically and cosmeti-
cally matched to each other for ideal results, they
may also be used with other Atlantic Technology
components and a wide variety of speakers from
other manufacturers with excellent results.
