Unpacking
- OPI speaker follows a strict quality control regimen and all factory-sealed products leave the facility in perfect condition. If there are any damages visible or concealed they have occurred in handling and must be reported immediately to your authorized dealer.
- Carefully remove the speaker from the box, take caution as the size often deceives the actual weight. Save all custom cartons and packaging foams for future use. They are rather expensive and may come in handy for future upgrades.
Pack contents:
- 1 speaker
- 1 mounting bracket
- 1 user manual
Speaker Position
-
OPI speakers are perfect for patios, decks, swimming pool decks, porches or any other place where exposure to the elements makes conventional loudspeaker usage unsuitable.
To achieve the best performance from your speakers, place the pair on the same wall facing the listening area and space them six to fifteen feet apart. -
For a higher quality stereo image, angle down, or toe in, the speakers toward the primary listening area. This is especially important in installations that place the speakers well above ear level. You can improve the bass rendering by placing the speakers in a corner or near a wall.
Installation
- Each speaker is supplied with a weather-resistant “C” type mounting bracket. This bracket attach to the speaker with the supplied knobs that threading on the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted vertically, or up and down when mounted horizontally.
- After deterring the desired location and orientation of your speakers, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes. Check the alignment of the holes with a torpedo level before drilling the pilot hole.
- Affix the speaker to the bracket with the supplied knobs. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs, point the speaker toward the listening area.
- If you are not sure about the material or strength of the wall or ceiling, please contact your authorized dealer or installer to avoid any damage.
- WARNING Choose dowels according to your wall or ceiling material (wood, concrete…) that can support the weight of the speaker. We highly recommend the use of a torpedo level in order to check the good alignment (vertical or horizontal) of the speaker.
Connections
Connect the speaker terminals to the matching terminals of your amplifier: the “+”of the speaker (red) with the “+”of the amplifier, and the“-”of the speaker (black)with the “-”of the amplifier.
Speaker terminals:
Use
- The speakers require a run-in period before they deliver their best performance. They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their environment. This breaking-in period depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks. However, you can shorten this period by letting your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at moderate volume, playing standard musical programmes.
- WARNING Long sun and/or bad weather exposure can damage your speakers. We recommend placing the speakers in a sheltered location (under a canopy for instance) and to remove them in the winter. Although these speakers have been designed to be weather-resistant, they are not suitable for complete immersion in water.
