Seasons Landscape Collection™ Manual
The Landscape satellite speakers and subwoofers should be strategically placed
to evenly distribute sound throughout the outdoor area. Fully plan out the
locations of all satellite speakers, subwoofers and buried wires before beginning
the installation process.
Origin satellite speakers have been specially designed so that you can set them
in the 70v configuration for large installs, or for small installs they can be set to
8Ω for use with a standard AV receiver. (If using the OSUB8, 10 or 12 in 8 Ohm
we recommend using a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. *See Origin SUBA150,
SUBA500)
The first step to locating your speakers is to plan the speaker layout. Origin
Acoustics offers a free design service to help you map the optimal speaker
placements as well as recommended amplifier power and project scale. (Email
[email protected] for more information.) If, however, you
want to plan the layout yourself, here are some guidelines.
Planning
colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to
be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.
