Atlantic Technology's New Low-Cost Home Theater Speakers Show Sonic Kinship To High-End Systems

18-Nov-04

Atlantic Technology announced the introduction of the System 920 home theater speaker system that establishes a new performance benchmark for compact subwoofer-satellite designs while demonstrating its obvious sonic lineage to the company's acclaimed high-end systems. The system employs five identical two-way mini-satellites and a compact long-throw sealed subwoofer to deliver multichannel sound without monopolizing either living space or budget. A 5.1-channel system in black satin finish has a retail price of $899.The System 920 satellite speakers are true two-way systems, each featuring a 4-inch GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) cone woofer that delivers bass response down to 100 Hz. The high end reproduction is handled by a 1-inch soft dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet. The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert, sealed MDF enclosure, and are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with video equipment.For bass reproduction, the System 920 features the new model 102 SB subwoofer. This sealed-box design employs a down-firing 8-inch bass driver powered by a 100 Watt class AB amplifier. Unlike most similarly-priced and -sized subwoofers which use light-duty woofers with small motor assemblies, the 102 SB driver uses a vented magnet structure and an high-temperature voice coil. Atlantic Technology's System 920 is designed for maximum placement and mounting flexibility in any environment. The satellites and subwoofer are available in either black satin or optional silver metallic finish. The satellites are just slightly taller than 8-inches, and under 6-inches wide and deep, and can be mounted on bookshelves, stands, or directly to the wall using the rear-panel keyhole bracket or threaded insert. The satellites feature the company's signature detachable magnetic metal grill, originally developed for the company's flagship System 8200.The System 920 will be available in early December at a suggested retail priceof $899 for a complete Satin Black 5.1 subwoofer/satellite system. The 102 SB subwoofer will also be available separately at a suggested retail price of $375.For more information, visit http://www.atlantictechnology.com/
