Where to locate your Patio25 loudspeakers
Patio25 Loudspeakers may be mounted either
vertically or horizontally. For the best sound, we
recommend spacing them at least 6 feet apart;
always aim them into the listening area.
CAUTION:
Never mount the loudspeakers on
surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have
electrical wire or plumbing concealed behind them.
If you are unsure about installing the bracket,
please contact a qualified professional installer.
CAUTION:
Never install the loudspeakers near
any heat sources.
CAUTION:
Never hang anything from the brackets
or speakers. Never place items on top of the
speakers. The brackets are designed to support
only the weight of the Patio25 Loudspeakers.
Important steps to take before mounting
your speakers
1. Check local building codes before you install
your Patio25 Outdoor Loudspeakers. If you’re
uncomfortable installing these loudspeakers,
contact a qualified home audio installer.
2. Measure the length of each speaker wire
needed to connect your loudspeakers to
your amplifier.
3. Determine the best route for your speaker
wire so that it is protected.
4. Make sure that the speakers cannot fall
and cause injuries.
