Patio Speaker Installation Manual

and value in everything we make. To ensure you get the most out of your new patio speakers, please take a moment to read this manual before you get started.

Installing Speakers

These weather resistant patio speakers are manufactured to resist
a variety of weather condition. The most ideal place to install these
speakers is the undersides of most eaves and overhangs as they
provide the best protection.
Like all speakers, they sound the best when placed no more than
seven feet apart from each other, and slightly higher than ear level.
If the speakers are more than seven feet apart, toe them in toward
the center of the listening area.

These speakers are not waterproof and cannot be submerged under
water.

Placing Speakers

If your application requires the speaker to be mounted, please
follow these directions. Using the hardware supplied, mount the

plastic knobs supplied. Never mount a speaker on a wall made
of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure,
consult a professional contractor. (See Diagram 1)

Screw

Bracket

The binding post speaker terminals on the speakers will accommodate

power setting through the knob switch. When connecting the speakers,
it is very important to observe the correct polarity. This means that the
wire attached to the (+), red, or positive terminals on one component
must be attached to the (+), red, or positive terminal on the
corresponding component speaker output terminals. Similarly, the (-),
Black, Negative or ground terminals must connect to the respective (-),
Black, Negative, or ground terminals. This is easy to do by locating the
color stripes that appears on most wire.

Painting the grilles

The metal grilles may also be painted. Use very thin paint (5:1). It will

plugging up the holes with excess paint.

First remove the grille fom the speaker using spray paint lightly go
over the front of the grille and then go over the back of the grille.
Two coats may be nessesary for desired look.

cabinet. Point the speaker toward the listening area. Once the direction
of the speaker has been determined tighten the bracket knobs securely.

WIRING

Connect the speaker cable to the speaker cable terminals, matching the proper polarity with your amplier, + to + (red) and - to - (black). Make sure
to connect the right channel to the right speaker and the left channel to the left speaker . Either channel may be attached to either terminals set,
however, be sure that polarity ( + and - ) is correct on each channel or the performance of the speaker will be seriously aected as one channel will
cancel out the other.

70 Volts consideration (Applicable to only 70V tap speakers)

The 70V transformer offers you the ability to daisy chain multiple
number of speakers in series. In doing so, you would simply connect
1 pair of outputs to each speaker and daisy chain to subsequential
speaker/s. If you don’t intend to daisy chain the speakers, set the
default setting to 8 ohms. (See Diagram 3)
