for outdoor use, they also feature waterproof
cabinets to ensure great sound for years to come
in any environment.
Please read this Installation Manual to ensure the
proper installation and performance of your ATR
speaker system.
Placement
Plan your speaker placement carefully. The ATR series
of landscape speakers are manufactured to resist most
natural conditions. However, they are not weatherproof, r
so care should be used in placement near sprinklers,
spouts or areas of extreme sun/rain. Running wire to
the speakers around existing yard features must be
considered.
The ATR speakers can be placed on your patio, deck,
flowerbed, or on the ground. Install them near your primary
listening area, or for complete yard coverage use more
than one pair. It is better to have more speakers playing
at lower volume for large outdoor spaces.
Innovative Home Audio
Like all speakers, the ATR series of Rock Landscape
speakers sound best when placed in the line of sight to
the listener with no obstructions.
Installation
If your application requires the speaker cable to be buried
first verify the location of utilities. Be careful to avoid buried
cables, gas lines, and sprinklers. Verify the operation of your
ATR speakers before backfilling.
The length of the longest speaker cable you need should
determine the wire gauge required. Measure the longest run
and consult the following chart before purchasing cable:
Distance
Up to 60 ft (18 m)
Up to 100 ft (30 m)
Up to 160 ft (50 m)
Run speaker cables inside walls and outdoors in accordance
with local building codes. If you are unsure of codes
locations, consult a professional contractor before installation.
