Indoor/Outdoor 2-Way Rock Speaker

LUR652E-LUR65EW INTRODUCTION

Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of the Dual Rock Speaker. A high level of design
experience and engineering went into creating the Dual Rock speaker. With the rugged
look of weathered granite, the Dual Rock 2-way speakers are extremely versatile and
are perfect when placed in areas ranging from indoor use like terrariums and interior
gardens to back yards, patios and pool or spa settings.

These weather resistant loudspeakers are made of the most durable components
including fiber-reinforced poly resin composite enclosures to achieve a product which
will resist rain, hail, sleet, coastal environments and snow, but still appear natural and
inconspicuous. You will find that the materials used in the Dual Rock are also superior in
resisting sun fade and water marks. The Rock speaker was specifically designed to look
and sound great for seasons to come.

Important

Although the Rock speakers are designed to resist weather and withstand unfriendly
environmental conditions, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long­term life and performance of your Dual Rock speakers. Keep soil, debris and woodchips
from covering the speaker grille. If debris accumulates on the grille, it can easily be
rinsed away with a garden hose using low water pressure. Do not spray water directly
into the face of the grille. Avoid placing the speakers where the grille area will come in
direct contact with sprinklers. If you desire to rinse the speaker surface, then direct the
spray of water at a 45 degree angle away from the grille, again using low water pressure.

Yard chemicals constitute another element that can prematurely shorten the speaker’s
life. Fertilizers, weed control sprays and many other chemicals commonly used in the
yard can potentially cause damage to the rubber and silicone speaker components of
the Rock.

LUR652E-LUR65EW INSTALLATION

Sound Coverage and Speaker Placement

The Dual ROCK speaker is sold separately, as many outdoor installations have multiple
zones. It is assumed for the purpose of this manual that the Rock speakers will be
installed using a minimum of two speakers. When deciding on the placement of your
Dual ROCK speakers, allow for a total coverage area of approximately 100 to 450 sq.ft. per
pair of Rock speakers. This is an estimate based on the ambient noise levels of a typical
outside patio or yard and your personal listening level. If you are using your speakers in a
high noise area where your sound coverage requirement is influenced by high automobile
traffic noise or located in close proximity to a heavily industrialized urban area; or If you
desire music over a physically large area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers
playing at low volumes, rather than a few speakers playing at high volumes. Multiple
pairs of speakers placed in strategic locations within your coverage area can be a
fundamental solution when designing an outdoor system that requires large coverage.

Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area and audio
source as possible. The volume of the speaker decreases rapidly as it is moved further
from the listener. Keep in mind that wire must be run to the location of the speakers.
Patios, walls, and other features in your yard may be difficult to get around when wiring
your speakers, so properly planning your design is important. Measure twice, dig once.

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