Power
• Crown CDi 1000 Amplifier or dealer recommended amp The MartinLogan OUTDOOR SAT 40 and OUTDOOR SAT 60
are passive speakers. These speakers are optimized for use with the Crown CDi 1000 amplifier which can be programmed with customized DSP settings for a variety of different speaker/ subwoofer installation scenarios. See ‘Audio Settings Chart’ on
page 15.
8 ohm amplifiers can also be used with the MartinLogan Outdoor Living system, however, they will not be able to run the proprietary MartinLogan DSP presets available for the Crown Amplifier. If you use the speakers and subwoofer with an 8 ohm amplifier, we recommend the following. Satellite Speakers: Wire only one speaker per amplifier channel and set the tap on each speaker to the 8 ohm setting. Note: Do not wire more than one satellite per amplifier channel in 8 ohm mode. Subwoofer: Wire one subwoofer per amplifier channel.

PLANNING THE INSTALL
• Identify the locations and determine the positioning of subwoofer(s) and satellite speakers. Evenly distribute speakers and subwoofer(s) throughout the space.
• Dig the trench according to speakers and accessories to be installed.
• The trench should be 6”–8” deep.

WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
We strongly recommend using burial-rated cable (not included) when installing any of the Outdoor Living Series speakers. In addition, it’s critical to use the proper speaker cable gauge. Please review the chart below.
We do not recommend use of high gauge wires, as performance will be compromised.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
There a few considerations before you start digging a trench:
• Ensure that ALL Speakers are tested prior to installation.
• Ensure that the proposed area is easily accessed and that the area is not prone to flooding, standing water or where the speakers can be easily damaged, kicked or struck.
• Consider overall landscape/garden design and positioning in relation to listening area

WIRING & SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Mono Setup Using 4 Conductor Burial Cable & Crown Amplifier
SUB 100 OR SUB120 (8 Ohm)
Speakers and subs should be wired in parallel, not series.
SAT 40 OR SAT 60 (70V or 8-Ohm)
Preparing the 4 Conductor Burial Cable
MonoMonoMonoMonoMonoMonoMonoMono
1. Starting with
the first speaker and every speaker/sub that comes after, create a loop approximately 6” in length.
3. Use a Round
Cable Stripper to remove the outside protective cable jacket to expose the four color­coded wires. Separate the wire loops as shown.
Wires for Speaker
red (+) & black (-)
Wires for
Subwoofer
green (+) &
white (-)
2. Recommended:
Use a wire tie (not included) to keep the wire loop intact and act as a strain relief.
4. Cut the red (+)
and black (-) wires with cable strippers and strip off 1 inch (25.4mm) of insulation from the ends if the wires to expose the copper conductor.

WIRING & SPEAKER INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Installing Ground Stake Accessory & Attaching Speaker
1. Remove nut from
the threaded end of the speaker arm.
3. Slide the twist
cap over the speaker arm then slide the gasketed aluminum washer (from the ground stake) over the threaded end of speaker arm.
2. Remove the twist
cap and gas­keted aluminum washer from the ground stake accessory.
4. Using a wrench,
thread and firmly tighten the nut (removed in step 1) over the threaded end of the speaker arm.
IMPORTANT!
The face of the aluminum washer with the smaller rubber gasket must be facing up.

5. Using a mallet and
a wooden block, pound the ground stake into the ground. Drive the ground stake down until the ground stake flange is nearly flush with the surface. Note: Leave a slight gap between the ground stake flange and the ground surface in order to thread speaker wiring through the wiring hole in the ground stake.
6. Thread the
speaker’s wiring through the wiring hole in the ground stake.
7. To attach the
speaker to the ground stake, hand thread the twist cap to the ground stake.
8. The speaker is
now mounted to the ground stake. The next step is wiring, go the ‘Wiring’ section for instructions.
For wiring instructions see ‘Speaker & Burial Cable Connections’ on page 11.

Installing Surface Mount Bracket Accessory & Attaching Speaker
1. Remove nut from
the threaded end of the speaker arm.
3. Slide the twist cap
over the speaker arm then slide the gasketed aluminum washer (from the ground stake) over the threaded end of speaker arm.
2. Remove the twist
cap and gasketed aluminum washer from the surface mount bracket accessory.
4. Using a wrench,
thread and firmly tighten the nut (removed in step 1) over the threaded end of the speaker arm.
IMPORTANT!
The face of the aluminum washer with the smaller rubber gasket must be facing up.

5. Thread the
speaker wire through the center hole and out of the wire opening on the surface mount bracket base. Place surface mount bracket base flush against the surface you wish to install your speaker. To attach surface mount bracket base to the surface, use appropriate screws (not supplied) for your installation. For specifications
on screws, see your dealer for details.
Note: For a wall mounted installation where a wire connection is contained within the surface mount bracket base, please follow these instructions. It is recommend that the speaker wire be cut short and the wire sleeve should be removed to expose the red (+) and black (-) wires. Follow steps 6 a-b, but do not attach the assembled speaker with surface mount bracket base until your wire connections are made with silicone-filled wire connectors covering the exposed wire connections. The wire connections with silicone- filled wire connectors must be stuffed inside the surface mount bracket base before attaching to the desired surface with appropriate screws (not supplied) for your installation. For specifications on screws, see your dealer for details.
6. To attach the
speaker to the surface mount bracket base: a) First hand thread the twist cap to the surface mount bracket base. b) Now firmly tighten the twist cap with the provided wrench.

SPEAKER DIRECTION & SETTINGS
1. Aim the speaker by loosening the screw in the speaker
arm and retightening once the desired aim is achieved.
2. Set the dial on every satellite speaker
in your sytem. To access the dial, remove the
rear cap from your satellite speaker by turning a quarter turn in a counter clockwise direction. Now pull the cap away from the satellite enclosure. Set the dial to correspond with the number of satellite speakers and subwoofers in the installation (see ‘Audio Settings Chart’ on page 15).
