INSTALLATION

The connectors located on the bottom of the ENTASYS loudspeaker enclosure are in a recessed area.

Relief areas leading into and out of this area through the rear of the enclosure allow for cables up to size 16-2
SJO. A bottom cover panel is provided to seal this area when using the barrier strip terminals. This improves
the weather-resistant nature of the enclosure. The bottom cover has a knock out for a 1/2 inch NPT fitting. This
allows cables larger than 16-2 SJO to be used or conduit attached to the loudspeaker while sealing the connec-
tor area from the elements.
