The 8600eLR can be tuned to any room with the rear mounted acoustic optimization controls to minimize detrimental effects of speaker placement and room acoustics.

• A 3-position High Frequency Energy switch changes the tilt of the tweeters response, not simply how loudly the tweeter plays but allows matching the speaker’s response to different room environments. Whether you have an acoustically live (highly reflective) or dead (highly absorptive) room, you can correct for varying acoustics.
  
• A Location Selector switch shelves up both the upper midrange and the high frequency output to compensate for being located behind a perforated screen or theater curtains, providing improved detail at the listening position.
  
• A Boundary Compensation control adjusts the lower midrange to minimize the sound colorations caused by placing the speakers in custom cabinets or directly adjacent to a TV, delivering open and natural sound. 
  

The 8600eLR’s can be used alone in a two-channel system, installed in custom cabinetry behind an acoustically-transparent screen or curtains and they can be used in any multi-channel configuration. For 7.1 systems, we recommend another set of LR’s for the back channels or mixed and matched with Atlantic Technology components from the 8200 Series for center, rear and surround speakers. To complete a multi-channel system an additional 642eSB, SBT500 or SBT1000 subwoofer is recommended. For technical highlights, please visit our technical overview of the product.
