LS48SAT & LS68SAT SPEAKERS
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing SLS Speakers. When properly installed,
these speakers will provide you with years of outdoor entertainment
pleasure. To get the most out of your new speakers, please read this
manual thoroughly before you begin installation.
Box Contents
SLS Satellite box contains:
(1) Satellite speaker
(2) Silicone filled wire nuts

LS48SAT
Landscape Series Satellite Speaker
Satellite Location Selection
The SLS is designed to deliver a seamless, evenly dispersed sound
field in an ‘open air’ environment. An array of multiple Satellite
speakers and Subwoofers should be strategically placed to minimize
‘hot spots’ and ‘nulls’ as you move around the outdoor entertainment
area. See Figure 1.
AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE, (1) SATELLITE WILL COVER ABOUT
250 SQUARE FEET OF LISTENING AREA
Select locations for the satellites that are as close as possible to the
same distance from the main listening area. When possible use high
and low locations to centralize the acoustic stage. See Figure 2.

Amplifier Power Planning
The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can
be used in a system will depend on the amplifier power,
refer to the SLS wattage calculator on the Sonance website
(www.sonance.com/outdoor/sonance-landscape-series/satellites).

Satellite Installation
70 volt audio systems allow for speakers to be daisy chained
together. In a typical system with one zone of audio you simply run a
stereo or 4 conductor wire from the amplifier to the closest speaker.
Once you have designated your first speaker as either left or right,
continue alternating the wires between the left and right channels
creating a daisy chain of stereo satellites. The Subwoofer can be
wired anywhere in the chain. See Figure 4.
NOTE: SONANCE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF 14
GAUGE OR LARGER DIRECT BURIAL GRADE WIRE.
CAUTION: THE AMPLIFIER SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED
TO AC POWER UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS ARE COMPLETED.
HIGH POWER 70 VOLT AMPLIFIERS PRESENT A SERIOUS
SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT CONNECT SPEAKER WIRES TO THE
AMPLIFIER UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE COMPLETED.
1. Once Locations have been established, choose the appropriate
mounting accessories for the project. PLEASE NOTE: Always
use a #3 Phillips head screwdriver when fine tuning the height
adjustment screw.
• For applications on flat surfaces, such as the side of a building
or structure, use the SM1 Round Surface Mount. See Instruction
Manual included with accessory for precise instructions
• For placement directly into the ground, use the GS9 ABS inground stake for the LS48SAT, and/or the GP19 PVC Ground
Post for the LS68SAT. See Instruction Manual included with
accessory for precise instructions
• For in-tree Mounting, use the TSMJB Tree / Surface Mounting
Junction Box. See Instruction Manual included with accessory
for precise instructions
2. Once the accessories have been mounted at the desired
locations, mount the satellites by threading the mounting shaft
into the corresponding opening of the accessory
3. Prepare individual leads to be connected to main leads.
4. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.
5. Run the wire through the trench from your amplifier to the first
speaker location.
6. Connect the direct burial wire to each speaker wire, connections
should be made with either silicone filled wire connectors or
appropriate junction boxes. See Figure 3.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE NOT TO LET ANY STRAY ‘+’ & ‘–’ STRANDS
TOUCH EACH OTHER. TOUCHING STRANDS CAN CAUSE A
SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT COULD DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE CONNECTED SPEAKER “+”
TO AMPLIFIER “+” AND SPEAKER “–” TO AMPLIFIER “–”.
7. After all the speaker connections are completed, connect the
wires to your amplifier. See Figure 4 for reference.
8. Turn your amplifier on and test the system with your favorite
music. If the speakers are operating properly, refill the wire
trench and enjoy your new speakers.
NOTE: ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE ELECTRICAL LEADS
TO AVOID NICKS AND CUTS THAT MIGHT SHORT THE SYSTEM.
