speakers by Crestron
®
offer superior sound quality and flexible
installation in a range of popular sizes for all types of indoor and outdoor
applications. Solid construction and high end components are hallmarks
of the complete AIR speaker line. Each AIR model provides a pair of
weatherized 2-way surface mount outdoor loudspeakers with polypropylene
woofers for deep, solid bass, optimized dual front ports for enhanced low
frequency response, and titanium dome tweeters for crisp, clear high end
extension.
Featuring a unique “QuickBall” mounting system, the AIR speakers can be
mounted to any solid flat surface, with the ability to orient and aim the speaker
in virtually any position. The QuickBall bracket achieves a very clean and
stable installation using a tool-free ball-and-socket mechanism. Simply
position the speaker as desired and flip the clamp lever closed. A security
screw is included to deter theft by preventing the lever from being released.
AIR speakers, supplied in pairs, are available in black or white and can be
painted to blend with the surrounding architecture.

Refer to the illustration to the right as necessary, and install the speakers as
follows:
1. Route the cables from the audio source to the intended speaker locations
following all appropriate local codes.
2.
Attach the QuickBall mounting bracket directly to the wall or to a flush
mounted 1-gang US, UK, or European electrical box, allowing the cable
coming through the wall (and the electrical box, if used) to exit through the
speaker cable access hole of the mounting bracket.
NOTE:
If the mounting bracket is to be attached to an electrical box, be
sure it is also attached to surrounding framing, to provide the support
needed to hold the weight of the speaker.
The QuickBall mounting bracket can also be mounted to a light pole or post
using pole mounting straps (not included).
3. Detach the 4-pin screw terminal block connector from the speaker. Connect
the audio source’s + and - outputs to the connector’s outer
+
and
-
(
IN
)
terminals. Maximum wire size is 12 AWG. Use the inner
+
and
-
(
THRU
)
terminals to connect a second speaker in parallel.
NOTE:
The number of speakers that can be added is limited only by the
specifications of the amplifier.
a. Strip the wires 1/4 in (~6 mm), twist the strands, insert them into
the terminal block, and tighten the screws to secure them.
b. Reattach the terminal block to the speaker connector.
4. Carefully mount the speaker on the QuickBall mounting bracket,
rotate and set the speaker at the desired angle, and raise the ball
socket clamp lever into position against the bottom of the speaker.
Use the supplied security screw to prevent the lever from being
accidentally pulled, releasing the speaker.
5. Attach a security cable (SPKA-ST-15, sold separately) to the security
cable attachment point. The other end of the cable must be attached
to a secondary support point, able to support several times the weight
of the speaker.
