AccentPLUS Outdoor Speaker Installation Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nu Vo AccentPLUSl and AccentPLUS2
Outdoor Speakers. A durable mineral-filled, UV-resistant cabinet and powder-
coated aluminum grill are able to withstand the elements and through careful
design, are capable of superior audio reproduction. The secret is in a
honeycomb pattern molded into the enclosure that provides important rigidity
and also houses a special bituminous, acoustically inert material that
eliminates unwanted resonance. Whether you are listening to the AccentPLUSl or
AccentPLUS2 models, the increased bass and treble response will heighten any
listening experience.
Speaker Placement
Proper placement of the speakers is crucial to enjoying the benefits of the
AccentPLUS Outdoor Speakers. Consider the optimal listening area. The speakers
should ideally be placed facing that area with 8 – 10 feet of separation or if
you are using the stereo speakers try to center it within the space. The on-
wall bracket provided with the speakers allows them to be angled ideally at
the ear level of the listener.
Properly Mounting the Speakers
Each speaker is shipped with two types of mounts. One is a tripod that
allows each speaker to sit on~ a tabletop or shelf. The other is a U-shaped
bracket that is designed for mounting the speakers on a wall.
Tabletop Mount
To use the included tabletop mount, locate the bottom of the speaker. This
is the inset mounting screw with a small hole positioned next to it. This is
designed to receive the small peg molded on the top of the tripod. The speaker
and the tripod also have corresponding bevels that interlock. Line up the peg
with the hole and the interlocking bevels on both the stand and speaker and
secure the stand to the speaker with the included end cap, fig. 1. Once
secured the speaker will stand upright on any level surface.
Fig.1
Wall Mounting
An AU-shaped bracket is shipped with each speaker designed for mounting the
speaker horizontally on a wall. The beveled surfaces on the inside of the
mount and on the exterior ends of the speaker allow the speaker to be
tightened and angled appropriately toward the listening area. The end caps
provided with the speakers tighten the bracket to the speaker enclosure to
hold the speaker at the desired angle, fig. 2.
Fig. 2
Corner Mounting
The wall brackets have an angle designed for mounting the speakers across a 90
° inside corner. This is very useful within an enclosed patio area or angling
the speakers into a room, fig . 3.
Fig.3
Optional Omni Mount (not included)
The top of each speaker cabinet has a pair of inset screws designed for use
with the Omni Mount 20.5 ball mount. This is useful for mounting the speakers
vertically rather than horizontally. The mount consists of two pieces. One
that screws to the speaker enclosure and one that is mounted on the wall. The
wall mount has a two-piece mechanism that tightens around a ball on the end of
the speaker mount. This allows the speaker to be placed at the appropriate
angle and tightened holding its placement, fig . 4.
Fig.4
Making the Connection
Positive and negative spring-loaded connection terminals are located on the
back of each speaker. Note that the stereo speakers have two pairs of
terminals to accept both left and right signals. The terminals are color-coded
red for the positive signal and black for the negative signal, fig s. For this
purpose, many pairs of speaker wires utilize red and black shielding for
easily identifying the positive and negative leads. Other speaker wires use a
copper wire for positive and white tinted copper wire for negative.
Once the installation is complete, your speakers should be fully operational.
Should you have no audio from the speakers, make sure the speaker wires did
not become disconnected from the terminal posts, or that there is not a short
in the speaker wire.
