Although they are designed to withstand the elements, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long-term performance of your speaker. Keep soil and wood chips from covering the speaker grill. If soil accumulates on the grill, it can be rinsed away with low water pressure. Chemicals commonly used in the yard can potentially damage the rubber elements of the speaker. Avoid spraying such chemicals onto or near the speaker. Also, avoid placing the speakers where the grill area will come in direct contact with sprinklers.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDE

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

• If you desire music over a wide area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers playing at low volume, rather than a few speakers playing at high volume. Keep this in mind when designing your pendant system.
• Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area as possible. The perceived volume of the speaker decreases rapidly as it is moved further from the listener.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER TO YOUR SYSTEM

1. The 4-pin Euroblock plug allows for speaker wire input as well as speaker wire output to easily daisy chain speakers in 70V applications.

2. Determine the locations for the speakers and estimate the length of the additional wire you will need for each speaker.

3. Connect the speaker wires from your amplifier to the pendant speakers.
   IMPORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray “+” and “-” strands touch each other. Touching strands can cause a short circuit that could damage the amplifier.
   PLEASE NOTE:
   Confirm that you have connected the speaker “+” to the amplifier “+” and the speaker “-” to the amplifier “-”.

4. Turn your amplifier on and test the system with your favorite music.

PENDANT MOUNTING
PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning installation is sure to take precise measurements.

1. Unpack the speaker unit and mounting hardware.

2. Thread the bare end of the hanging or safety cable through the Fastlink wire joiner.

3. Attach the hanging or safety cable by securing it to or around the structure the speaker will hang from.

4. Thread the cable back through the Fastlink wire joiner and pull to tighten.
   PLEASE NOTE:
   It is imperative that the needed cable length is measured precisely. The tension cannot be loosened once pulled through the Fastlink.

5. Attach the carabiner through the eye end of the cable.

6. Run the speaker wire through the oval-shaped hole in the top cover plate.

7. Connect the speaker wire to (+) and (-) inputs. Use the extra (+) and (-) for daisy-chaining.

8. Select the desired tap setting.

9. Place the cover plate onto the top of the speaker unit.

10. Screw in the eye bolt until fully tightened and the top cover plate is secure.

11. Attach the carabiner through the eye bolt.

12. Your speaker should now be securely installed.
