AMBISONIC BOLLARD 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. The speaker is designed to allow the subwoofer section to be buried in the ground leaving only the pillar section exposed.

AMBISONIC BOLLARD COLLECTION™ 8B. RECOMMENDED SPRINKLER PRECAUTIONS 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 BOLLARD COLLECTION™ 8C. RECOMMENDED BURIAL DEPTH The subwoofer enclosure should be buried to a level where the dirt covers the wire nut and protruding wire at the top of enclosure. Holes for the subs should be deep enough to cover the entire lower section of the enclosure with approximately 1-inch of dirt on top of the that section.

AMBISONIC BOLLARD COLLECTION™ 9B. OPTION 2: WITHOUT DRAIN PLUG DRAIN PLUG IS REMOVED 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.

AMBISONIC BOLLARD COLLECTION™ 11. NOTE: PAINTING THE SLEEVE The outer sleeve (pillar) of the Ambisonic Bollard speaker has been anodized specifically for achieving maximum durability of the pillar color. If you wish to change the color of the Bollard sleeve by painting, or other process, it may compromise the durability and finish of the product, compared to the original manufacturing process and modify the specifications.
AMBISONIC BOLLARD COLLECTION™ 12. 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.
