(P/N MS3523-WH for white and P/N MS3523-BK for black) see Figure 1), are sold in pairs and are optimized for outdoor audio

distribution (central sound). They feature 5.25” Poly woofers and PEI (Polyetherimide) Mylar tweeters. The provided brackets allow the speakers to be adjusted for sound direction.

The On-Q perforated aluminum grill. The brackets are powder coated aluminum with brass fasteners and stainless steel screws..

3. INSTALLATION

NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire be used for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to the speaker. Different gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the intended run or

quality of installation (see Figure 2)

NOTE: The On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio components all accommodate wire gauges from 18 to 14.

A. For pre-wire, run x/2 conductor (x=gauge) stranded speaker wire from the distribution/volume

B. Drill a hole large enough to accommodate the speaker wire

C. Place the speaker wire through the hole in the center of the

D. Strip off 3 inches or so of the speaker cable jacket to expose

the positive and negative insulated wires. Strip 3/8-1/2 inch of insulation off of these conductors.

NOTE: It is a good practice to coat the wire with a corosion preventing gell. This will prevent oxidation and limit whicking ofmoisture through the cable.

E. Hold the speaker with one hand, (if speaker grill is off, pay

careful attention not cause permanent contortion of the voice coil, thus producing a mechanical rubbing sound or speaker failure) unscrew the Red and Black screw terminals, insert the bare speaker wires through the hole in each post, and tighten each screw terminal. Be sure to have the positive wire in the RED

terminal and the negative in the BLACK (see Figure 4). As

you tighten each screw terminal wiggle the wire and tighten some more.

NOTE: Wiring both speakers identically as the above instruction states will yield speakers that are “in phase”. If one speaker is wired opposite of the other, the speakers will be “out of phase” with one another. If the speakers are “out of phase” the sound might appear smeared (canned) and a significant loss of bass might be noticeable due to phase cancellation. Make sure every installed speaker is correctly phased.

F. Once the speakers are wired correctly, attach them to the

bracket with the large round retainers provided with the

speakers (see Figure 5). The retainers allow the speakers to

be rotated in the bracket to direct the sound output.
