LUR652E-LUR65EW INSTALLATION

Sound Coverage and Speaker Placement
The Dual ROCK speaker is sold separately, as many outdoor installations have multiple
zones. It is assumed for the purpose of this manual that the Rock speakers will be
installed using a minimum of two speakers. When deciding on the placement of your
Dual ROCK speakers, allow for a total coverage area of approximately 100 to 450 sq.ft. per
pair of Rock speakers. This is an estimate based on the ambient noise levels of a typical
outside patio or yard and your personal listening level. If you are using your speakers in a
high noise area where your sound coverage requirement is influenced by high automobile
traffic noise or located in close proximity to a heavily industrialized urban area; or If you
desire music over a physically large area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers
playing at low volumes, rather than a few speakers playing at high volumes. Multiple
pairs of speakers placed in strategic locations within your coverage area can be a
fundamental solution when designing an outdoor system that requires large coverage.
Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area and audio
source as possible. The volume of the speaker decreases rapidly as it is moved further
from the listener. Keep in mind that wire must be run to the location of the speakers.
Patios, walls, and other features in your yard may be difficult to get around when wiring
your speakers, so properly planning your design is important. Measure twice, dig once.
The grilles are not designed or intended to be removed. Do not remove the grilles from
your Rock speakers. There are no user serviceable parts behind the grille and removal
will damage the speaker.
