Model T70.1 PBM MODEL T70.1 PBM High Performance Powered Subwoofer Congratulations on your purchase of an Atlantic Technology T70.1 PBM powered subwoofer. With proper care, your new subwoofer will provide many years of trouble-free performance. The T70.1 PBM is capable of delivering very high output levels and wide dynamic range. When properly placed it will provide smooth inroom bass response down to approximately 25Hz, with a peak SPL of 103dB (1500 cubic foot space).
Atlantic Technology ® Important Note: If you are using a surround receiver/processor that includes its own filtered subwoofer output we recommend that you set the crossover switch on the T70.1 PBM to Bypass. ● Two line inputs, two line outputs The outputs allow daisy chaining of multiple subwoofers, or can act as a return path back to the processor. ● Two high level inputs, two high level outputs These let you connect the subwoofer to your amplifier using the amplifier’s speaker outputs.
Model T70.1 PBM ● A Phase Invert switch (Normal/Invert) This switch allows precise acoustic matching with speaker systems whose output may be phase reversed. This switch also allows you to compensate for unusual room acoustics that occur when a woofer is physically separated from the midrange/high frequency units. Be sure to try the Phase switch in both positions when you set up the T70.1 PBM.
Atlantic Technology ® Example 1: Subwoofer Line Out/ Low Level In Receiver/Amplifier/Processor Single Subwoofer Optional Second Subwoofer When using this connection method, please see the Important Note on page 3. Example 2: Preamp Line Out/Low Level In for 1 Subwoofer This arrangement is for owners of stereo receivers/ amplifiers with Preamp outputs. If your receiver/ amplifier uses jumper links between the Pre-out and Main In, then you must remove them and use option 1 or 2.
Model T70.1 PBM Example 3: Preamp Line Out/Low Level In for Stereo Subwoofers Receiver/Amplifier/Processor Note that the L/MONO input is used on both subwoofers. Instead of Y-adapters, you may also use the outputs to connect back to the Main Inputs as shown in Option 2 of Example 2.
Atlantic Technology ® Example 5: Speaker Out/ High Level In for Stereo Subwoofers Right Speaker Right Subwoofer Left Subwoofer Left Speaker This is the most common method for connecting 2 subwoofers to a system without a dedicated subwoofer line out or Preamp outputs. Note that the L/MONO High Level input is used on both left and right subwoofers.
Model T70.1 PBM with no signal detected from the rest of the system, the amplifier will shut itself off and go into standby mode. Power consumption in the standby mode is negligible. Standby operation can be completely bypassed by placing the “Auto” switch in the “On” position. In this mode, the subwoofer will be controlled by the position of the Main Power switch.

Model T70.1 PBM Higher crossover frequencies pass more bass but can sound boomy and may be more easily localized to the subwoofer. Higher crossover frequencies may be suitable, however, when using very small satellites that have no real low frequency performance. Settings lower than 90Hz should be employed if you are using full range speakers that have extended bass response.
