PLACEMENT  
The ATS-1 “All Terrain Speaker” is designed for indoor and outdoor playback of music and home theater sources.  
Each speaker includes a convenient stand / mount with a ball and socket type swivel adjustment to facilitate aiming  
the speaker at your seating area. As you unpack your speaker, please note the allen (hex) wrench provided that will  
be required to set the correct speaker angle. The ATS-1 is video shielded for safe placement on or near a television  
or computer monitor.  
AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS  
Before making any connection, make sure your stereo amplier or receiver’s power is turned off. Each speaker has  
a red (+) terminal and a black (-) ground terminal which will match the speaker output terminals on your amplier or  
receiver. Correctly connecting red to red and black to black from your amplier to your speaker will ensure correct  
phase connection. We recommend 16-guage or heavier wire for the best performance for your speakers. Choose  
speaker wire that denes each conductor with color coding or texture on at least one of the two wire leads to ensure  
proper phase connection. If our home theater receiver has a set-up menu, we recommend that the “small” setting  
be selected for the front left and right, center and surround speakers.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS  
You may choose to use a subwoofer with your ATS-1 to enhance the bass response of your music system. The  
Phase Technology Power 8 is well-suited for the use with the ATS-1. There are two ways to connect the ATS-1 in a  
home theater system with a powered subwoofer. The LOW-LEVEL diagram below may be utilized with receivers or  
processors that feature subwoofer or low frequency outputs. This type of output utilizes RCA connectors.  
Note: Most processors and receivers have a single (mono) sub-out. Connect the subwoofer output from your  
receiver/processor to either the left input or the right input on your subwoofer amplier.  
The HIGH-LEVEL (speaker level) diagram below illustrates the typical subwoofer wiring utilizing the speaker output  
terminals of the amplier or receiver. This hook-up method illustrates the ATS-1 connection to the subwoofer.

ADJUSTING THE ATS-1  
The ATAS-1 comes with a convenient stand/mount . A ball at the top of the post ts into a socket molded into the  
back of the speaker. A retaining collar holds the ball in place in the socket providing adjustment of the angle of the  
speaker, permitting the speaker to be aimed at the ideal listening area. The retaining collar has three allen (hex) type  
screws to secure the speaker angle. An allen wrench is provided with each speaker to loosen and tighten the screws.  
Note: Always loosen the screws on the retaining collar before you attempt to change the angle of your speaker on the  
bass. Failure to do so may result in damage to the post.  
The screws in the retaining collar may be loosened by inserting the allen wrench into the screw head and turning the  
screws in a counter-clockwise direction. Once you have determined the desired angle, tighten the retaining screws by  
turning them in the clockwise direction until snug. Avoid over-tightening the retaining screws.  
WALL MOUNTING  
The base assembly is pre-drilled for fastening to a shelf, wall or ceiling. Before mounting the ATS-1 to a wall or  
ceiling, it is important to consider the surface material on which the speaker will be mounted. If you intend to mount  
the speaker to wood, traditional 1” long wood screws will secure the speaker properly. Mounting to stucco, plaster or  
drywall will require additional measures to properly secure the speaker to one of these surfaces. Consult your Phase  
Technology dealer for assistance.  
You will nd it much easier to mount the base if you rst remove the speaker from the mounting post. To remove  
the speaker from the post, rst place the speaker face down on a soft surface such as carpet or a hand towel. The  
speaker is secured to the mounting post by three allen head screws located in the retaining collar. Using the allen  
wrench supplied with the ATS-1, remove the three screws. You now have clear access to the mounting holes in the  
base. With the speaker removed from the base, use the base as a template to locate the desired speaker placement.  
Hold the base at the location at which the speaker is to be mounted, then mark the mounting holes with a pencil.  
Secure the base to the mounting surfaces with the appropriate screws.

Note: For ceiling or wall mounting, it is recommended to center the base on a stud or wood frame member within  
your structure whenever possible. Once the base is properly secured, the speaker may be replaced on the mounting  
post.  
Before you replace the speaker on the mounting post, connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the back of  
the speaker. Once you have connected the wire, place the speaker on the mounting post and replace the retaining  
collar and screws using the allen wrench. Hold the speaker at the desired angle and tighten the screws. Avoid over-  
tightening the screws. Always loosen the retaining screws before attempting to change the speaker angle.  
RUBBER FEET  
Peel-and-stick rubber feet are provided for the bottom of the base. It is recommended that the feet be applied to the  
base when using the ATS-1 on a shelf of other at surface to prevent marring the surface and to prevent the ATS-1  
from sliding due to vibration.  
CARING FOR YOUR SPEAKERS - OUTDOOR USE  
Your ATS-1 speakers are engineered for both indoor and outdoor use and operation. Random water hitting the  
speaker will not damage your ATS-1, making it ideally suited for placement in close proximity to swimming pools and  
spas. The ATS-1 is not intended for use underwater, however.  
Ordinary dust and dirt accumulation will not harm the ATS-1. If you wish to clean the ATS-1, household glass cleaning  
solution sprayed on a paper towel may be used for light cleanup. For heavier stains, a soap and water solution  
applied with a rag or sponge should remove the dirt and stains. Avoid spraying the ATS-1 with a high-pressure hose.  
SERVICE ISSUES AND WARRANTY  
Phase Technology has an uncompromising commitment to quality assurance. In the unlikely event that a problem  
occurs with your ATS-1, please contact your Phase Technology dealer. Your new ATS-1 comes with a warranty to  
protect you, the original purchaser, for a period of ten years again defects in material and workmanship. Please refer
