PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Increasingly, sound systems for outdoor installations are demanding higher levels of sound quality and higher sound pressure levels. Whether in gardens, parks, patios or other outdoor locations, these speakers are designed to deliver high quality sound and blend in with the surroundings.
HELVIA’s STONE-640X loudspeaker is designed for gardens, terraces, outdoor restaurants, parks, and generally any outdoor or indoor location where the loudspeaker base can be buried and a look that blends in with the landscape is required.
The 40W RMS coaxial speaker is equipped with a 6.5” woofer and a 0.5” Mylar dome tweeter to provide a good frequency response and excellent sensitivity.
The waterproof fiberglass construction of the STONE-640X is designed for durability in all weather conditions. The IP56 rating prevents direct exposure to water and mud, greatly extending the life of the speaker. The rock-like grey finish allows maximum camouflage of the speaker in natural landscapes such as gardens, parks, etc.
The connection cable offers 6 power levels plus 8 ohms to adapt the speaker to different line types (70V, 100V, 8Ω) and power levels.
3.1. Main Features:

• IP56 Protection for Outdoor use
• Fiberglass housing for all-weather exposure
• Rock design to blend in with the surroundings such as gardens and parks
• 40W RMS (160W peak)
• Line transformer for 70V, 100V and 8 ohms operation
• 6.5” Coaxial Speaker with 0.5” Mylar dome tweeter

INSTALLATION

Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the product:

1. When the speaker is installed in any outdoor location, make sure that the structure on which it is installed is reliable and that the speaker is firmly attached.
2. Do not place the speaker on a movable or unstable support.
3. Use only approved and certified wiring in your installation. Do not stretch or place the wire in contact with sharp objects.
4. Before removing the cables, make sure the amplifier and other components are switched off.
5. Damage to the woofer and tweeter may occur if the speaker is bumped or hit, resulting in distorted sound or no sound at all.
6. Never overdrive your speaker to the point of distortion and always reduce volume prior to switching input sources.

The installer is responsible for the installation. Please make sure to install speakers according to local safety regulations.

5.1. Direct Burial Wire or Conduit
Depending on the type of installation, direct burial of the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speakers may be required. Use of ID 12 conduit pipe may be adequate for protecting the wires from possible physical damage if future excavation or other alterations are expected in the area of the installation.
5.2. Speaker Connection/Wiring.
STONE 640X speakers are equipped with a built-in line transformer for 70V, 100V and 8 ohm operation, to better adapt each speaker to the type of line, the power of the amplifier, and the number of speakers in the system.
Pay attention to wire colors depending on which line type you use. Please refer to the instructions below, or to the sticker on the bottom of the speaker or on the speaker wire:

• For 8 ohm operation, join the Red and White wire and connect them to the (+) terminal of the amplifier. Connect the Black wire to the (-) terminal (COM) of the amplifier.
• For 100V and 70V operation, join the Red and White wire and connect them to the (-) terminal (COM) of the amplifier. Connect the colored wires to the (+) terminal of the amplifier according to the line, number of speakers used and amplifier power.
• Please make sure the polarity is not inverted (+ connected to -). If the polarity of the speakers is reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will play without bass.

Solder wires together using waterproof heat shrink tubing to seal.
Use waterproof wire connectors.
Make connections with immersion-resistant crimp splices.

UNDER-POWERING VS. OVER-POWERING

Most speaker damage is caused by amplifiers with too little power (wattage).
Overdriven amplifiers clip output waveforms and send distortion to the speakers.
Clipping is usually audible; it may vary from a harsh sound to a fuzzy or unclear sound.
If you hear this condition at loud volume levels, turn down the amplifier volume until the distortion is no longer present. Damages caused by the operating the speakers at distorted volume levels are not covered by the warranty.
6.1. Example of 70V/100V System Configuration 5 speakers connected in parallel using 16W taps
The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of the 70V/100V amplifier.The above example shows 5 total speakers in a 70V/100V system. Using the 16W taps, you will need an amplifier with at least 5×16= 80W. A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 20% greater power; in this case, an amplifier that delivers about 100W.
