Installation
Proper installation of the Loudmouth
™
wireless PA speaker is critical to the
performance and overall satisfaction with your system. With careful consideration
and planning Loudmouth
™
will cover up to 100 feet with a single speaker, and can
cover an even wider range with multiple speakers and receivers. This section will
help you plan an installation that is best suited for your environment.
2.1
Selecting the PA speaker location
Speaker location is critical to the performance of the Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA speaker. Consider the
following factors before selecting a speaker location.
• The speaker can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
• Be sure there is a convenient source of 110VAC power for the RPS-1A power cube and that the radio receiver
box can be located inside, out of the elements. The speaker has a 25 ft. cable, if you need more a standard
RCA phono cable and coupler can be used (ie. Radio Shack Catalog #: 42-2363 and Catalog #: 274-1553 ).
• The speaker should not be in an area where the 2-way radio user addressing the speaker will typically be
located. If the radio user is too close to the Loudmouth
™
speaker, feedback can occur due to loudspeaker
audio getting into the radio microphone. This is a problem related to the 2-way radio, not the Loudmouth
™
speaker. The use of the Record & Play feature will eliminate this problem.
The speaker must be located at least 10 feet above head level.
At near range the Loudmouth
™
speaker is capable of sound levels that can cause
permanent hearing loss and should never be installed in a location where a person
could be directly in front of the speaker.
Install the Loudmouth
™
speaker close to the noisiest area you plan to cover.
If there is an area with a significantly higher ambient noise level, the Loudmouth
™
speaker should be located as close as possible to this area. The speaker volume
must be 6 db higher than the ambient noise level in order to be heard.
If the speaker is not close to the highest source of noise, the
volume level will be too loud for the quieter areas
.
