COD OUTDOOR SPEAKERS 

INTRODUCTION

The Vanguard Dynamics COD Series Outdoor Speakers are all-weather loudspeakers that bring an amazing audio experience outdoors.  Enjoy great sound 

out of a small footprint with drivers tuned to perfec�on.  The COD speakers are available in black or white UV treated ABS enclosures along with color 

matched aluminum grills.

WIRING

1.  A�ach the speaker cables to the speaker cable terminals on the back of the COD speaker.

2.  Connect the speaker cable while ensuring proper polarity with the amplifier, + to + (red) and - to - (black).

3.  Also ensure that the right channel of the amplifier is connected to the right speaker and the le� channel to the le� speaker.

PLACEMENT

Outdoor Installa�ons

1.  When moun�ng the COD speakers outdoors, the eaves of the roof provide an ideal loca�on as they reduce the exposure of constant 

     direct sunlight and precipita�on.

2.  If installing speakers on a boat, the wheelhouse provides the best loca�on for the same reasons.

Indoor Installa�ons

1.  When placing the COD speakers on a wall or bookshelf, we recommend that they are mounted at ear level or slightly higher.

2.  The usual listening area should be no closer to the speakers than the distance between the speakers themselves.

MOUNTING

1.  The COD speaker is supplied with a U shaped wall moun�ng bracket that can be installed ver�cally or horizontally.

2.  Use screws, bolts or anchors (not included) that are capable of suppor�ng the weight of the speaker to mount the bracket.  

3.  Choose a moun�ng surface with sufficient strength to reliably hold the speaker.  (See Diagram 1 below)

4.  Mount U bracket with slots poin�ng upward if moun�ng horizontally.  

5.  Once the bracket is securely fastened, insert knob screws loosely on to the speaker and slide on to bracket.  (See Diagram 2 below)

6.  Rotate the speaker to desired posi�on and �ghten the knob screws.

7.  There are two M6 inserts located on the back of the speaker for other types of moun�ng brackets.  (Make sure to select a bracket 

     capable of suppor�ng the weight of the speaker.
