INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS

Tools and Materials Required

•A wire stripper

•1/2" PVC conduit (optional)

•PVC conduit glue and cleaner (optional)

•PVC cutting tool

•Trench digger or shovel

•Tube of silicon sealant (optional)

•Cable (length and type determined by installation site – see “Choosing the Speaker Cable”)

Selecting the number and location for your speakers

The RS5 loudspeaker can be installed directly on the ground, in a flowerbed, on a wood deck or on a concrete/stone patio. There are two considerations for placing the loudspeaker, ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the loudspeaker. The RS5 loudspeaker will cover an area of a circle with a 16-foot diameter, in front of the speakers.

If you are using stereo outputs from the amplifier, alternate the speakers to provide the best imaging. You should place speakers less than 8 feet from the sides of the listening area and 12 feet from each other. The row spacing should not be greater than 20 feet. These loudspeaker spacing rules are the recommended maximums; placing speakers at a greater distance apart will negatively affect sound coverage and reduce their stereo effect. Placing speakers closer together will improve sound coverage and produce more stereo coverage.
