OSD AP525 - 5.25" 2-Way Outdoor Patio Speaker Manual

To ensure you get the most out of your new patio speakers, please take a moment to read this manual before you get started.

Installing Speakers

These weather resistant patio speakers are manufactured to resist a variety of weather condition. The most ideal place to install these speakers is the undersides of most eaves and overhangs as they provide the best protection.
Like all speakers, they sound the best when placed no more than seven feet apart from each other, and slightly higher than ear level. If the speakers are more than seven feet apart, toe them in toward the center of the listening area.

These speakers are not waterproof and cannot be submerged under water.

Placing Speakers

If your application requires the speaker to be mounted, please follow these directions. Mount the bracket first. Attach the speakers to the bracket using the large plastic knobs supplied. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor. (See Diagram 1)

Painting the grilles

The metal grilles may also be painted. Use very thin paint (5:1). It will be easier to paint the frilles while it is off the speaker. Avoid plugging up the holes with excess paint.

First remove the grille from the speaker then using spray paint lightly go over the front of the grille and then go over the back of the grille. Two coats may be necessary for desired look.

Mounting

To install the bracket on the speaker. Screw the bracket knobs into the cabinet. Point the speaker toward the listening area. Once the direction of the speaker has been determined tighten the bracket knobs securely. (See Diagram 2)

WIRING

Connect the speaker cable to the speaker cable terminals, matching the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to + (red) and - to - (black). Make sure to connect the right channel to the right speaker and the left channel to the left speaker. Either channel may be attached to either terminals set, cancel out the other.

NOTE: To avoid damage please select correct input 8 Ohm, 70 volt or 100v, prior to connecting

70 /100 Volts Considerations (Only for Speakers with 70/100V Option)

The 70/100V transformer offers you the ability to daisy chain multiple number of speakers in parallel. In doing so, you would simply connect 1 pair of outputs to each speaker and daisy chain to subsequential speaker/s. If you don't intend to daisy chain the speakers, set the default setting to 8 ohms. (See Diagram 3 - Example of Settings)
