Atlantic Technology's Groundbreaking Design

The Atlantic Technology System 4400 represents the culmination of our efforts to develop the world’s finest moderately-priced home theater speaker system. The System 4400 builds on much of the exhaustive research and technology incorporated in our groundbreaking, state-of-the-art systems, the highly acclaimed System 8200e and System 6200e. As a result, the 4400 delivers superb sound with all movie and music formats. Getting a home theater system to sound "just right" is no easy task. As voices or effects move across the room, the handoff from speaker to speaker should not be perceived as a series of singular events, but instead, as a continuous smooth transition. In developing System 4400, we have taken extraordinary care in this process. The key to the 4400’s outstanding performance is that all of the system’s individual loudspeakers have been optimized specifically for their intended use. Although customizing the speakers is more costly for us—it requires three very different acoustic designs, expensive tooling, and task-specific cabinets—the sonic payoff is tremendous. We sincerely believe that within its price range—or even well above—it is one of the finest speaker systems available. Once you see and hear it for yourself, we are confident you will agree.

Atlantic Technology 4400C Speaker Offers an Impressive Level of Refinement and Flexibility

The 4400C Center Channel Speaker Provides Optimum Acoustic Control
For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front-channel speakers must have the same sonic signature, which is why Atlantic engineers designed the 4400C center channel speaker with the exact same driver complement as the matching 4400LR speakers. They are both designed for use with a dedicated subwoofer, and the 4400C includes the same unique acoustic controls as the 4400LR. Other than the 4400C being designed to work horizontally, it is functionally identical to the 4400LR. The 4400C is also magnetically shielded and can be placed directly adjacent to your CRT tube-based TV set with no adverse effects on the television's picture. Additionally, the 4400C can be tilted on its dedicated base to provide optimum sonic coverage over the listening area.

The Best Atlantic Has to Offer

Creates natural, uncolored sound

At the movies or a live concert, everyone wants the best seat in the house. It’s the same way in your living room— you want the best possible sound, no matter where the speakers are placed and regardless of the room’s acoustics. All three front channels of the 4400 address this problem. Each speaker comes with two controls that help customize the speaker to your individual room.

• High Frequency Switch - The speakers have a three-position tweeter level switch to compensate for overly reflective or excessively damped room acoustics, so the speakers’ sound is never too dull or too "bright."
• Boundary Compensation - Placing a center channel speaker directly on a large-screen TV, or installing a left/ right speaker in a bookshelf unit can cause a major buildup of lower midrange energy from what speaker engineers call "boundary effects." The result: voices and instruments can sound unnaturally thick and heavy. We developed a circuit that counteracts this problem. Activating the boundary compensation switch will return the lower midrange to its natural, uncolored state.

The 4400C comes with a unique tilting base so the speaker can be aimed at the listener’s ears. The audible benefit of this design is precise intelligibility of voices, dialogue, and on-screen effects.
