LUR66E INSTALLATION
Sound Coverage and Speaker Placement
The LUR66E is sold separately, as many outdoor installations have multiple zones. It is
assumed for the purpose of this manual that the rock speaker will be installed using a
minimum of two speakers. When deciding on the placement, allow for a total coverage
area of approximately 100 to 450 sq.ft. per pair of rock speakers. This estimate is 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 this in mind when planning the wire run to each speaker location.
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 attempt to remove the
grilles from your rock speaker. There are no user serviceable parts behind the grille and
removal will damage the speaker.
