INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

Run the speaker cable

Determine the location of the amplifier that will power the loudspeakers. The amplifier should be located in an area that protects it from the weather. Refer to the amplifier installation instructions to ensure that the amplifier is not located in an area that does not meet its recommended operating environment.

Once the location of the amplifier is determined, layout and place the loudspeakers in the area where music is desired. Use the procedures and recommendations detailed in the section “Selecting the number and location for your speakers” of this manual, to choose the best locations for the speakers.

Determine a path for the speaker cable. You may need to run wires in walls, under sidewalks or patios and around obstacles in your yard. Install the wires while conforming to your local building requirements and codes. If you are unsure of these codes, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor or local building and inspection agency that has jurisdiction.

Use care when digging trenches in the yard; ensure that there are no buried cables or gas lines by verifying the location of these items with the local authorities in your area, prior to digging the trenches.

After selecting this path, estimate the amount of cable needed and use the section entitled “Choosing the Speaker Cable” to choose and cut the cable required.

Remember that if you are connecting the speakers in the one-speaker stereo mode, make sure you run two cables to each speaker and that the cables are clearly identified “Right” and “Left”, so that the stereo imaging of the speakers is assured.

If the cable will be run underground, dig a trench along the path needed for the speaker cable. If you are using PVC pipe to run your cable in, connect and glue the PVC piping sections and connections together so they lie in this trench easily. Now run the cable from the amplifier to each speaker location through the pipe. If you are using direct burial cable, run the cable from the amplifier to each speaker location and lay the cable in the trench.

Do not cover the cable in the trenches until system operation and loudspeaker coverage is verified.

Connecting the loudspeaker in one-speaker stereo mode

1.Strip two to three inches of each speaker cables’ outer jacket away from the insulated conductors. Ensure that at least two inches of the separate conductors are free. Do this on both loudspeaker connection cables.

2.Strip one half inch of insulation from the end of each conductor as show in Figure 6 for both connection cables.
