    AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on selecting one of the finest outdoor speaker systems ever produced. The Ambisonic Bollard is a single unit that houses both a subwoofer and a mid/ high frequency satellite in the same enclosure.

    AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 5B. ADDING SEALANT, BEFORE SLEEVE ASSEMBLY Polyurethane Sealant: It is strongly recommended that Polyurethane Sealant be applied between the Sleeve & the Subwoofer Base. Care should be taken to apply a liberal 1/4'' bead of Polyurethane Sealant along the Port Tube Base of the Subwoofer, before assem- bling the sleeve over the Port Tube.

  • Page 14: System Layout

    AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 6. SYSTEM LAYOUT Placement of the speakers throughout the home’s exterior will depend on a couple of factors. The first is how uniform of a sound field is required. The laws of physics dictate that the further the listener is from the sound source the lower the apparent sound pressure level or “volume.”...
  • Page 15 AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 7A. DRAIN PLUG The Ambisonic Bollard loudspeaker comes with a drain plug inserted at the bottom of its subwoofer enclosure. If there is water ingress for any unavoidable reason, removing the drain plug will allow for water to drain out. The drain plug is easily removable with a utility knife.
  • Page 16 AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ OPTION 2 – REMOVE THE DRAIN PLUG This option is recommended: • In applications with dry soil where occasional water may accidently enter the enclosure. Use of gravel and sand will allow any water that gets into the sub enclosure to properly escape.
  • Page 17 AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 7C. BOLLARD INSTALLATION & SPRINKLER LOCATION It is highly recommended that the Bollard speaker be installed at a location such that the water sprinkler nearby (if any) does not spray the water jet into or +/- 2 inches from vertical slots of the bollard shell.

    AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 10. 70V WIRING SETUP: INSTALLATION GUIDANCE • Use 1 separate wire run for: Subwoofer units of Bollards • Use another separate wire run for: Satellite units of Bollards • The subwoofers and satellites will be run in PARALLEL for 70V WIRING SETUP. This means the positive connection on the amplifier will be connected to the positive connection on speaker 1, 2, 3, etc.
  • Page 20 AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ Firstly, Consider whether you will be running the satellites in a Mono or Stereo Setup: In many applications, the listener will never be equidistant from a left and right speaker, so Mono may be the best option. Regardless, the D3200 offers three independent channels so both setups are viable.

    AMBISONIC LANDSCAPE COLLECTION™ 13. TROUBLESHOOTING If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
