Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the BreatheAudio garden rock speakers. Enjoying high quality sound outside is no longer a lifestyle for the rich and
famous. The BreatheAudio rock speakers offer a very affordable, and attractive highlight for any garden or patio area. While enjoying the outdoors, you can
delight in your favorite music or just relax and listen to the game. What ever your preference, the BreatheAudio rock speakers will provide years of outdoor
music enjoyment.
Proper Placement of Your Rock Speakers
Ideally the speakers should be placed on either side of the targeted listening area with about 8 to 10 feet of separation. This will allow the best enjoyment of
stereo audio. The speaker design allows them to be placed on the ground among garden plantings. Be careful when concealing the speakers not to cover the
grill area with any substance or plantings that could impede the sound. Try to leave 5 to 7 feet distance between the speakers and the listening area.
Making the Connection
Do Not Use electrical or duct tape as a means of weatherproofing the wire
connection.
The speakers are easily connected to any audio amplifier using the sealed speaker wire pigtail from the back of the speaker enclosure. The red lead indicates
the positive signal and black indicates the negative signal. These should be spliced with the corresponding wire coming from the source amplifier. Note that
most speaker wire indicates the positive with a red wire and the negative signal with a black wire. Some wires indicate the positive lead with a dark stripe on
the wire or in many outdoor low-voltage wires the negative lead is indicated with a rib in the insulation. Connecting the positive and negative leads incorrectly
will cause it to be out of phase and will result in a weak bass response.
Remove 2 to 3 inches of the outer jacket of the speaker wire coming from the source amplifier. Carefully strip about ½ inch of the insulation covering the two
speaker conductors within the outer jacket. Twist the bare speaker wire leads together and screw a wire nut to each of the connected leads.
You should only use wire nuts rated for outdoor weatherproof use.
As an additional weatherproofing option you may want to fill the bottom edge of the wire nuts with a silicone-based sealant. If you are burying
the wire underground, only use speaker wire rated for in ground use. An alternative to burying the wire is to run it through PVC pipe that is buried. Be sure to
seal all joints in the pipe to insure a waterproof enclosure.
