The choice of partnering amplifiers for Passive Entry Series loudspeakers will have significant influences on the performance of the system. Consider the following when selecting the amplifier: ■ With any passive loudspeaker there is a trade-off between low frequency extension and sensitivity. Extended low frequency response means that sensitivity is relatively low. It is advisable therefore to select an amplifier of relatively high power capabilities. Use of an under-specified amplifier will result in the system sounding disto ...

The Entry Series, like all ATC monitors, demonstrates very much lower levels of distortion than conventional systems of a similar size and it is therefore advisable to begin listening at an artificially low level and carefully increase the volume. It is also possible for y ...

Centre Speaker Placement The positioning constraints on a centre channel loudspeaker are always influenced by the type and location of the associated screen. However, the basic parameters that influence the subjective performance of any loudspeaker in a listening room – alignment to the listening position and proximity of room boundaries – also apply to a centre channel and should be taken into account. The C1C and C3C are intended to be positioned relatively clear of room boundaries and centrally either just below or just above the screen. If the scre ...

Bass Management in Domestic Systems This section aims to clarify some of the issues surrounding the use of Bass Management (or bass redirection as it is sometimes known) in ATC multichannel systems. Topics discussed apply to the whole range of ATC systems and can be used for guidance when making installation decisions. Differences in professional and domestic requirements dictate slightly different approaches to Bass Management. In the recording studio, the primary aim is to achieve a result which will transport well to a range of domestic equipment and listen ...
