INSTRUCTION MANUAL
SONANCE® LANDSCAPE SERIES
CROWN® AMPLIFIER
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Landscape Series Crown
amplification. The Landscape series Crown amplifier has been
preloaded with custom equalization to achieve maximum
performance from the Landscape series satellites and subwoofers.
When properly installed, this amplifier will provide you with years
of outdoor entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your
new system, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin
installation.
Amplifier Power Planning
The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be
used in a system will depend on the quantity of amplifier’s available
power.
Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate
the amplifier power your installation will require. Multiple amplifiers
may be required in large installations.

Input connections
Unbalanced (Most Common)
To connect your audio source to the Crown amplifier you will need
cables with RCA connectors on the source end and bare wire on
the Landscape amplifier end. The Crown amplifier channels are
labeled CH1 and CH2. Both channels are identical so you can
choose which to use for right and left depending on your personal
preference.
Attach the bare wires from your cable to the Phoenix style
connector provided in the amplifier box. Note the location of the
positive and ground wires on the Phoenix connector. You must run
a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the negative terminal;
see Figure 1.

Balanced
When using the Landscape series in a commercial installation
it might be necessary to connect the amplifier using balanced
wiring.
Connect the wires from your source equipment to the Phoenix
connector. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting
the wires to the Phoenix connector. If your source equipment
uses XLR connectors please confirm the polarity or pin out of your
source equipment before terminating the Phoenix connector. see

Output Connections
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 wire
from the amplifier to the closest speaker then wire from there to next
speaker and so on.
Note: Sonance strongly recommends the use of 14 gauge or larger
direct burial grade wire.
Terminating the wire
Attach the supplied spade connectors to the ends of your speaker
cables. Once the connectors are installed then connect the spades
to the output connectors on the amplifier. Once your connections
are finished place the supplied plastic cover over the connectors to
prevent a short circuit or shock hazard.
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.
Systems with only one size satellite
If your system will be comprised of only LS47SAT or LS67SAT satellites
you can connect the satellites and subwoofers to either channel of
the amplifier.

Systems with LS47SAT and LS67SAT
satellites
If your system will be comprised of LS47SAT and LS67SAT satellites you
must connect the LS47SAT satellites to CH1 on the amplifier and the
LS67SAT satellites to CH2 of the amplifier. This connection scheme is
critical so that the proper EQ can be applied to each satellite model.
The subwoofers can be connected on either channel.

DSP Preset Selection
The Crown CDi series amplifier you purchase from Sonance is
preloaded with 12t EQ presets. These presets allow you to tailor the
sound to your customer’s preference.
Also included in the preloaded software is equalization for each
of the Landscape series products to provide the flattest frequency
response possible in an outdoor system. To achieve this flat response
measurements were taken of typical systems measured in outdoor
environments. A compensation curve is applied in the software to
correct for any response anomalies.
NOTE: When choosing the preset it is critical to select the preset based
on the satellite and subwoofer model you are using in your system.
How to Select
1. Press the Select / Enter button on the front of the amplifier.
2. Press the Next / Down button until the word PRESET appears
on the display.
3. Press the Select / Enter button
4. Press the Next / Down or Prev / Up buttons until the preset you
desire is displayed
5. Press the Select / Enter button
6. Your chosen preset should now be displayed
Volume Control
In most systems the volume control knobs should be turned fully
clockwise to achieve proper level.
Included in the amplifier carton are volume control security covers
that replace the existing level-control knobs so the amplifier output
level cannot be changed. The knobs snap into the front panel.
