Storm Series In-wall Speakers
2. System Design/Applications
ATON In-Wall speakers are designed primarily to be installed in wall composed of drywall, but it
is possible to install them in other materials. Prior to installation, it is essential to determine the
type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers in the wall. There are two typi-
cal applications that ATON In-Wall speakers will be used for: Stereo and Home Theater.
Stereo
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. This application provides the best sound
quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a defi ned listening position. Figure 2.1 shows
an example of a stereo listening area.

Home Theater
ATON IN-wall Speakers provide unobtrusive, high-quality Home Theater sound when installed in
the correct locations. It is critical to identify the primary listening position before installation! See
Figure 2.2 for a system design utilizing in-wall speakers with an active subwoofer and Figure 2.3
for a system design utilizing In-wall speakers and passive in-wall subwoofers (A82SW).
