Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of Elura speakers. You have embarked on a listening and style
experience that will bring enjoyment to your home for years to come. The following instructions provide detailed
procedures for expert installation of Elura speaker systems for maximum performance.
Elura speakers have been carefully crafted for easy installation in a variety of residential applications. By following
these comprehensive steps you will soon enjoy the signature sound that is the hallmark of all Elura audio products.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Your Elura speakers left our factory after rigorous manufacturing process control and final inspection. Carefully
unpack your new speakers and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipment or subsequent
handling.
For best performance, we recommend you use at least 16 gauge speaker wire. For new home construction, wiring
will generally be done prior to the installation of the siding, and should already be in the desired location. For
installation in existing construction we recommend you consult an expert installer. Be sure to pull wires by the
most expedient and efficient route.
We have tried to make our installation guide as easy to follow as possible. Please take a little time to become
familiar with the contents to avoid unforeseen and irritating mistakes.
OPTIMUM SPEAKER LOCATION
Depending on available locations it is best to place speakers approximately 12’ from one another. Proper spacing
will improve sound imaging. Consider the outdoor environment and listening area while selecting your primary
listening area.
Note: Before installing your speakers, make note of the (inside wall) locations of lighting fixtures, electrical wiring,
plumbing, HVAC ducting, or any other possible obstructions.
After you have selected the best speaker locations, locate the framing studs and avoid obstructions when mount-
ing the speaker brackets. Elura outdoor speakers are designed to be installed in either a vertical or horizontal
position, depending on your preference. Either position will not likely affect acoustic performance significantly.
However, try to avoid fastening the speaker brackets only to siding – mounting to framing studs will provide more
secure attachment. If you find no obstructions, mount the speaker bracket with stainless steel or plated screws of
sufficient diameter and length.
FINAL INSTALLATION
Recheck that connecting wires are present at the speaker locations you’ve chosen. You’re now ready for the final
installation.
Elura outdoor speakers are shipped with the grilles attached to the enclosure. If you intend to paint your speakers
to match the house color, please refer to the detailed instructions below.
