PLACEMENT

Outdoor use:

The materials used in the construction of the MUSICA52WRM are weather resistant for use in even the harshest conditions. The hardware is brass, the grille is powder-coated aluminum, and the bracket is powder coated aluminum. The enclosure itself is shatter-resistant. Adhering to just a few mounting guidelines will further extend the life of the product.

Whenever possible, mount the speaker under an eve or other protective overhang. Always aim the speaker at a slight downward angle to prevent water from accumulating on the speaker cone.

Do not place the speaker in a location where water, snow or ice will accumulate on the speaker for extended periods of time.

Indoor Use:

The MUSICA52WRM works very well when it is wall mounted in indoor applications. When you place the speaker on a wall, you take advantage of the natural boundary effect that occurs when a speaker system is placed against one or more surfaces. This boundary effect will pro- vide increased overall output. When you mount the speaker against one surface (on a wall) you increase output by 3dB. When you mount the speaker against two surfaces (on the wall near the ceiling) you increase the output by 6dB. When you mount the speaker against three surfaces (in a corner near the ceiling) you increase the output by 9dB.

Shelf Mounting:

When placing the MUSICA52WRM on a shelf or other flat surface, remove the C-bracket by unscrewing the top and bottom thumb screws. Then re-insert the bottom thumb screw into the cabinet. This will allow the speaker to maintain a level orientation.

Down Firing:

The MUSICA52WRM also works well in a down firing configuration for spaces utilizing open beam ceilings such as offices, restaurants and warehouses.

INSTALLATION

Fixed Install:

The MUSICA52WRM includes a versatile yet simple C-bracket designed to provide easy vertical or horizontal installation on just about any surface. The speaker may be installed using screws or bolts placed through the “L” shaped holes in the mounting bracket. The center 3/8” hole allows wires to exit through the bracket when wall mounting, for a neat installation. The unused inserts on the rear of the cabinet may be used with standard 1/4”-20 forged eyebolt. These parts are avail- able through many sources including Grainger Corporation. (www.Grainger.com).

Size 21, 1/4” X 1” Forged Eyebolt

The mounting knobs included with the speaker product may be easily interchanged with stan- dard, 1/4”-20 vandal proof hardware. Grainger Corporation is also a good source for torx head, spanner head or one-way security bolts. (www.Grainger.com)

When you have an installation challenge that the C-bracket will not accommodate, we suggest you contact our friends at OMNIMOUNT systems (www.omnimount.com) to select one of their

quality swivel mount products. The 25 Series will be appropriate for this speaker.

When mounting the speakers in a horizontal orientation, you can easily change the orientation
