Warranty Coverage

The DUAL outdoor speaker series is designed as a multi­purpose speaker and will deliver accurate high fidelity sound
in exterior or interior environments. Weather-resistant design
and construction provide optimum durability for permanent or
temporary outdoor use. Both models are available in black
or white.

For simplicity, we will call your AV receiver or amplifier
the “receiver.”

The grilles are not designed or intended to be removed. Do
not remove the grilles from your speakers. There are no
user-serviceable parts behind the grille and removal will
damage the speaker.

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service.
Please keep your original sales receipt and be prepared to
provide this receipt in the event you require service, as your
original receipt is considered the best proof of purchase and
indicates the date you purchased your Dual product.

Experiment for Better 

Sound

If mounting is desired, mounting both speakers on a
common solid
the best audio results.
Do NOT mount speakers on wall surfaces that have
hazards concealed behind them, such as electrical wires
or plumbing. Always mount speaker on surfaces that are
sturdy enough to support the speakers’ weight, and make
sure they cannot fall or cause injury.

Your speakers can be placed in many convenient locations
in your home or patio area - as stereo pairs on either
side of your receiver - as surround speakers in home
theater surround sound systems - in your computer room
to enhance the multimedia experience - or as remote
speakers.

For wall and ceiling applications, DUAL mounting brackets
are included. In addition, the L83BK has a rear inset
keyhole for surface hanging if aftermarket mounting
systems will be used.

You should experiment with various placements. Room
acoustics can produce large apparent differences in the
sound when small changes in the placement are employed.
For example, although the speaker may be located at any
height above the floor, directing the tweeter toward ear
level (32" – 36") or angling the entire speaker toward the
listening position often provides the most realistic imaging
experience. The amount of bass perceived increases as you
move a speaker closer to solid intersecting room surfaces
(walls, ceiling, floor).
