Crestron Air Series Quick Start Manual

AIR_SR4/AIR_SR6/AIR_SR8
AIR ® speakers by Crestron ® offer superior sound quality and flexible
installation in a range of popular sizes for all types of indoor and outdoor
applications. Solid construction and high-end components are hallmarks
of the complete AIR speaker line. Each AIR model provides a pair of
weatherized 2-way surface mount outdoor loudspeakers with polypropylene
woofers for deep, solid, bass, optimized dual front ports for enhanced low
frequency response, and titanium dome tweeters for crisp, clear high-end
extension.
Featuring a unique "QuickBall" mounting system, the AIR speakers can be
mounted to any solid, flat surface, with the ability to orient and aim the
speaker in virtually any position. The QuickBall bracket achieves a very clean
and stable installation using a tool-free ball-and-socket mechanism. Simply
position the speaker as desired and flip the clamp lever closed. A security
screw is included to deter theft by preventing the lever from being released.
AIR speakers, supplied in pairs, are available in black or white and can be
painted to blend with the surrounding architecture.
NOTE: Before starting installation, ensure the wall and wall material are capable of supporting the
combined weight of the speakers and the wall mount assemblies. Refer to section
weights.

Installation
Refer to the illustration to the right as necessary, and install the speakers as
follows:
1. Route the cables from the audio source to the intended speaker locations
while following all appropriate local codes.
2. Attach the QuickBall mounting bracket directly to the wall or to a flush
mounted 1-gang US, UK, or European electrical box, allowing the cable
coming through the wall (and the electrical box, if used) to exit through the
speaker cable access hole of the mounting bracket.
NOTE: If the mounting bracket is to be attached to an electrical box, be
sure it is also attached to surrounding framing to provide the support
needed to hold the weight of the speaker.
The QuickBall mounting bracket can also be mounted to a light pole or post
using pole mounting straps (not included).
3. Detach the 4-pin screw terminal block connector from the speaker. Connect
the audio source's + and - outputs to the connector's outer + and - (IN)
terminals. Maximum wire size is 12 AWG. Use the inner + and - (THRU)
terminals to connect a second speaker in parallel.
NOTE: The number of speakers that can be added is limited only by the
specifications of the amplifier.

a. Route the audio source's (and a second speaker's) wiring through
the supplied weather boot (if used). Strip the wires 1/4 in
(~6 mm), twist the strands, insert them into the terminal block,
and tighten the screws to secure them.
b. Reattach the terminal block to the speaker connector.
c. The weather boot press-fits securely into the connector housing
recess.
4. Carefully mount the speaker onto the QuickBall mounting bracket,
ensuring that the ball is fully inserted into the cavity. Rotate and set
the speaker at the desired angle, and raise the ball socket clamp
lever into position against the bottom of the speaker to secure the
speaker in position. Use the supplied security screw to prevent the
lever from being accidentally pulled, which releases the speaker.
5. Attach a security cable (SPKA-ST-15, sold separately) to the security
cable attachment point. The other end of the cable must be attached
to a secondary support point able to support several times the weight
of the speaker.
