Model T70.1 PBM MODEL T70.1 PBM High Performance Powered Subwoofer Congratulations on your purchase of an Atlantic Technology T70.1 PBM powered subwoofer. With proper care, your new subwoofer will provide many years of trouble-free performance. The T70.1 PBM is capable of delivering very high output levels and wide dynamic range. When properly placed it will provide smooth in- room bass response down to approximately 25Hz, with a peak SPL of 103dB (1500 cubic foot space). The built-in proprietar

Model T70.1 PBM l A Phase Invert switch (Normal/Invert) This switch allows precise acoustic matching with speaker systems whose output may be phase reversed. This switch also allows you to compensate for unusual room acoustics that occur when a woofer is physically separated from the midrange/high frequency units. Be sure to try the Phase switch in both positions when you set up the T70.1 PBM. Even if you just change the built-in crossover settings it’s a good idea to try the Phase switch in bot

Instead of Y-adapters, you may also use the outputs to con- nect back to the Main Inputs as Y-adapters shown in Option 2 of Example 2. Example 4: Speaker Out/ Right Speaker Subwoofer Left Speaker High Level In for 1 Subwoofer This is the most common method for connecting a subwoofer to a system without a

Atlantic Technology ® Example 5: Speaker Out/ Right Speaker Right Subwoofer Left Subwoofer Left Speaker High Level In for Stereo Subwoofers This is the most common method for connecting 2 subwoofers to a system without a dedicated sub- woofer line out or Preamp outputs. Note that the L/MONO High Level input is used on both left and right subwoofers. Receiver/Amplifier You can connect to the High-level inputs by removing 1/2" of insulation from each wire end, twisting the strands of wire together

Model T70.1 PBM with no signal detected from the rest of the system, the amplifier will shut itself off and go into standby mode. Power consumption in the standby mode is negligible. Standby operation can be completely bypassed by placing the “Auto” switch in the “On” position. In this mode, the subwoofer will be controlled by the position of the Main Power switch. Placement and Operation Generally speaking, the best location for your new Subwoofer will be in the front of the room, in or close t

Subwoofer Tuning Using the Variable Level Control Assuming that you do not have access to a Sound Pressure Level meter for system set up, start your listening with the subwoofer crossover control set at approximately two-thirds of its range (which corresponds to approximately 100Hz), the phase switch set to normal, and the variable level control set to

Model T70.1 PBM Higher crossover frequencies pass more bass but can sound boomy and may be more easily localized to the subwoofer. Higher crossover frequencies may be suitable, however, when using very small satellites that have no real low frequency performance. Settings lower than 90Hz should be employed if you are using full range speakers that have extended bass response. This way, the subwoofer will only reproduce the very lowest bass frequencies that are in the range where the large main s
