LU43P-LU53P INSTALLATION
Placement & Mounting Speakers
Outdoor Placement
Mounting Your Speakers
The DUAL LU43 and LU53 have been tested for environmental usage and are weather resistant, but not waterproof. Occasional moisture will not affect performance. The speakers should be allowed to ventilate and dry after water exposure.
The speakers can be placed permanently outdoors for year- round enjoyment. To maximize speaker life, position in areas protected from the elements, such as the underside of eaves and overhangs. Popular locations include decks, gazebos, porches, atriums, garages, and covered spa areas.
For temporary placement, remove the speaker from the mounting brackets and replace the thumb screws to maintain stability if placing the speakers on end.
Both the LU43 and LU53 speakers have a DUAL logo that can be rotated. The logo is located on the face of the grille in the event a vertical installation is needed. The logo is spring loaded. Use gentle force when adjusting the logo to a new orientation. To rotate the logo, elevate two ends of the logo equally by placing your nail under and lifting lightly. While the logo is elevated, turn the logo to the desired orientation and release.
For ease of installation, the DUAL LU43 and LU53 include an easily removable mounting bracket. Once mounted, the bracket allows the speaker to be pivoted to its ideal location. The included thumb screws knobs will hold the selected speaker position when properly tightened. Avoid over tightening the knob. Before attempting the installation, carefully evaluate the mounting surface, making sure that its composition and construction are strong enough to support the load safely. If you are unsure about the type of mounting hardware for your installation, consult a professional contractor or a knowledgeable hardware store. The anchors and screws to attach the speakers are not included and must be purchased separately. The hardened steel brackets are suitable only for attaching the speaker to walls or ceilings constructed of solid wood, brickwork, concrete, hollow buildings block or wood studs.
