PHASE TECHNOLOGY ATS-1SPEAKERS
SURROUND SOUNDFORTHEGREAT OUTDOORS (ANDINDOORS)
Phase Technology of Jacksonville, Fla., born in 1955, has been around longer than I have. I was still learning how to walk and talk when Bill Hecht, a certified audio pioneer, manufactured some of the earliest bookshelf speakers for Avery Fisher in 1959. His other patented achievements include the soft dome tweeter, the self-damping woofer coil and silicon-injected drivers that defeat resonance. He's now part of a father-and-son team with his son Ken Hccht who recently dropped by my Manhattan
fortress to set up a 5.1-channel array of the Phase Technology ATS1 with the Power 8 subwoofer. ATS stands for All-Terrain Speaker and the ATS-1 is indeed an indoor/outdoor model. Since I live four floors up, I was more interested to hear how it would hold up in my home theater system. The two-way design includes a I-inch soft dome tweeter (of course) and a 4-inch mineral-filled woofer with rubber surround in a curvaceous ultraviolet-resistant molded-plastic enclosure. The grilles are alu-

The them "small" and leave the bass-making duties to the Power 8's front- limiters provided for all drivers probably helped out in that respect.

I've been at plenty of concerts that were (which I nearly missed), Phase button, volume control, crossover louder-often with earplugs or cigarette filters shoved in my ears for control (50 to 125 Hz), line-level and speaker-level inputs and outputs protection-but for home use, this is about as loud as I ever go. and a button that switches the auto signal-sensing mode on or off.

Ken, who is something of a stickler where review conmemorable one was Americas Sweethearts starring John Cusack and ditions are concerned, said that my 19 x 14 ft. room, with its hard Catherine Zeta-Jones as an estranged Hollywood couple loved by plaster walls, sounded pretty good.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUENEUTRAL (N) BROWNLIVE (L) 1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. 2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. 3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead not simply over the two wires.
The CD-R(W)disc for DIGITAL AUDIO can be both recording and playing on this CD-Recorder. In addition, this CD-Recorder can play the CD-R(W) disc for PROFESSIONAL RECORDING, but cannot record it. Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it is to make your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use an erasable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first attempt, while following the instructions given here.

Copyright

Recording and playback of some material may require permission. For further information refer to the following: - Copyright Act 1956 - Dramatic and Musical Performers Act 1958 - Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 - Any subsequent statutory enactments and orders
Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R(W) discs because of the low reflectivity of such discs. Because of laser power differences, some DVD players cannot play the finalized CD-R(W) discs. Read the text carefully and keep the instructions close at hand so that you can refer to them if necessary. 1

INTRODUCTION

Unpacking
First check the contents of the packaging. It should contain the following: - CD-Recorder DR6050 - Remote control with batteries packaged separately - Audio cables (2 - with red and white plugs) - Remote control cable (with orange plugs) - Instructions - Guarantee If one of these components is missing, please inform your supplier immediately. Save the packaging material it may come in handy if you move the appliance. Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases. Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may result.
