Thank you for your purchase of this Klipsch Rock Speaker. The
Klipsch All-Weather Rock speaker (AWR-6 50-SM) is a two-way, dual
channel design using a single high performance bass driver for the low
frequencies and a pair of Polymer dome high frequency tweeters for
wide, even coverage.
The AWR-650-SM can be configured as a single t wo channel speaker
or used in pairs as a single channel speaker. The AWR-650-SM is
constructed of durable weather proof materials such as a fiberglass
enclosure and powder coated aluminum grilles, a polymer woofer
cone and polymer dome tweeters. This ensures that the speaker will
look and sound good for years to come regardless of environmental
extremes.
Please be sure to fill out the warranty card included with this manual or
online at www.klipsch.com so we are better able to serve you.
Placement
The Klipsch All-Weather Rock speaker is perfect for lawns, gardens,
patios, deck s or any other place where exposure to the elements
makes conventional loudspeaker usage unsuitable. Due to its aesthetic
design and up-tilted orientation, this model is designed for low or
ground level placement.
To achieve the best performance from a pair of AWR-650-SMs place
them on the same side of your intended listening area and space them
8 to 20 feet apart. For a higher quality stereo image some degree of
toe-in, toward the primary listening area, may be required to achieve
the desired effect.
If a single AWR- 650-SM is connected in a two channel configuration it
is best to center the speaker on the preferred side for even coverage.
Some additional Bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner
or near a wall.
Connections
Important:
amplifier is vit al to obtaining good sound quality. Please
follow these directions carefully.
The AWR-650-SM is provided with a 4-conductor cable to be able to
connect either 1 or 2 channels. One input uses RED for positive and
GREE N for negative, the other uses WHIT E for positive and BLACK
for negative. When connecting only 1 channel to the AW R-65 0-SM
the RED and W HIT E must be connected together for positive and
BLACK and GR EEN together for negative. Positive (s) and negative (s )
on the speaker must be connected to the positive(s) and negative(s)
respectively for your receiver/amplifier for correct phasing.
Important:
ohm impedance. When joining the inputs for a 1 channel
connection as previously described and shown below, the
AWR-6 50-S M becomes a 4 ohm speaker. Make sure your
receiver/ amplifier can accept a 4 ohm (which most can ).

Wire Splicing
Unless the AWR-65 0-SM will be connected to an amplifier/receiver
directly using the 5’ lead, wire splicing to a separate set of high quality,
moisture resistant speaker cable will be required. Follow the following
steps to connect the AWR-650-SM to an amplifier/receiver as a single
channel speaker.
1. S trip away two to three inches of the AWR-650-S M 5' speaker lead
outer jacket away from the individual insulated conducts.
2. S trip one half inch from each of the 4 individual conductors.
3. Twist together the stripped ends of the AWR-6 50-SM BL ACK
(negative) wire A ND the AWR-650-SM G REEN (negative) wire A ND
the stripped end of the speaker wire connected to the negative
output of the desired channel of the amplifier/receiver.
4. C ap the three wire combination with a silicon filled wire nut. The
material inside the wire nut will protect the stripped ends of the wire
from moisture. If additional protection is desired, additional silicon
(sold separately) can be added to the bottom of the wire nut to
further seal the connection.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the positive connection of the same channel
using the AWR- 650 -SM RE D (positive) wire AND the AWR-650-S M
WHITE (positive ) wire and speaker wire connected to the positive
output of the amplifier/receiver.
To connect the AWR- 650 -SM as a dual channel stereo speaker
two additional wire nuts will be required (sold separately). Make 4
individual splices, referring to the diagram above, and always double
check that the positive leads of the AWR-6 50-SM are connected to
the positive outputs of the amplifier/ receiver and the negative leads
of the AWR-650-SM are connected to the negative outputs of the
amplifier/ receiver.
WARNING:
the woofer will make little to no sound. This can damage the
woofer if left wired in this manner.

Important: Before bur ying any portion of the completed
speaker assembly, verify the location of gas lines or buried
utility cables with your local utilit y company (s ).
Important: Before running speaker cable through walls,
under patios or walkways, etc., check local building code
requirements. If you are not comfortable with any portion of the
installation, hire a qualified installer to perform those functions.
Securing Speaker
The AWR-650-SM includes a security eyelet on the underside of the
speaker. This permanent eyelet can be used to attach a security cable
or small chain for the added securit y.
Simply loop the security cable or chain through the eyelet underneath
the speaker enclosure and attach the other end to a fixed object.

Maintenance and Care
Your AWR-650-SM is designed to withstand the elements and be
placed outdoors year round. If cleaning is desired, simply use a damp
cloth to wipe down the outer surface of the speaker. Using chemical
cleaners is not recommended. Avoid spraying water from a hose or
sprinkler since this could damage speaker components, especially the
high performance tweeters. Cover the AWR-6 50-SM when applying
lawn fertilizer and chemicals.
Important: No user-serviceable par ts inside. Refer all
servicing to qualified ser vice personnel.
