Water Resistant 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System

Thank you for purchasing the RCA Water Resistant 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System. It has water-resistant enclosures to protect it from the elements when it is mounted outside. The speaker’s acoustic suspension enclosure holds a 3-inch polypropylene woofer to provide deep bass in a small package, along with a 1-inch ferrofluid cooled tweeter for smooth separation of high and low frequencies. It is also ideal for use as a front or rear speaker in a home theater system.

Speaker Placement

Caution: Your speaker is weather resistant. Do not mount it in a location where water might collect in the terminals.

Your speaker’s very broad dispersion pattern means you get good sound quality over a very large listening area. If you position the speaker to provide coverage of too large an area, “hot spots” of loud sound might occur near the speaker. To avoid “hot-spots”, use one set of speakers for every 200–400 square feet of listening area.

The supplied wall and ceiling mounting brackets and the unique wedge-shaped design let you mount the speaker in corners or under eaves to minimize its exposure to rain and snow. You can place the speaker near a corner or an eave for more bass output.

Connections

For the best performance, it is essential that you keep the speaker in the proper phase (connect + to + and – to –). We recommend using color-coded or marked wires to help you correctly connect the speaker to your sound system.
