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

Atlantic Technology ® Important Note: If you are using a surround receiver/processor that includes its own filtered subwoofer output we recommend that you set the crossover switch on the T70.1 PBM to Bypass. l Two line inputs, two line outputs The outputs allow daisy chaining of multiple subwoofers, or can act as a return path back to the processor. l Two high level inputs, two high level outputs These let you connect the subwoofer to your amplifier using the amplifier’s speaker outputs.

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

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

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
