INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Tools and Materials Required:

• A wire stripper

• Cable (length and type determined by installation site)

SELECTING THE NUMBER AND LOCATION FOR YOUR SPEAKERS

The PS6Si loudspeaker can be installed on a wood deck or on a concrete/stone patio. There are three considerations for placing the loudspeaker; connecting each cabinet in one-speaker stereo mode or two-speaker stereo mode, ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the loudspeaker. Never chose a place where an automatic sprinkler will be aimed on or near the loudspeaker. While the loudspeaker is weatherproof, continuous streaming water will shorten the product’s life. The PS6Si loudspeaker will cover an area of a circle with a 22-foot diameter.

SINGLE SPEAKER STEREO MODE

In one-speaker stereo mode, each connection cable of the PS6Si loudspeaker is connected to a separate ampliﬁer channel and each loudspeaker cabinet plays in stereo. This conﬁguration gives you the beneﬁt of covering a larger area than the two-speaker stereo mode. The loudspeakers can be spaced 11 feet from the sides of the listening area and 22 feet from each other. The row spacing between speakers should be less than 38 feet. These loudspeaker spacing rules are the recommended maximums; placing speakers at a greater distance apart will negatively affect sound coverage and produce spots within the listening area where the sound quality will be poor.

Figure 1 shows how this would work for a square area of 44 feet by 38 feet and using the PS6Si’s in the one-speaker stereo mode. The loudspeaker coverage pattern is shown in the diagram.

With the loudspeakers wired in the one-speaker stereo mode you can cover large areas with the highest quality stereo imagining available.
