MAINTAINING WEATHER RESISTANCE
There are several things that must be observed when installing a WET Series II loudspeaker in order to maintain
its weather-resistant integrity for outdoor use.
1. Always orient the loudspeaker so the mouth of the horn is, at a minimum, pointing at least 15 degrees
downward. Failure to do this could result in water collecting inside the enclosure under extreme
weather conditions.
2. When handling a WET II, be careful not to scratch or scrape the finish on the grille or enclosure.
3. All mounting holes must be sealed off with the stainless steel bolts, washers, and rubber washers
supplied. If, for any reason, these bolts must be removed, seal off the hole with silicone caulking or
some other suitable weather-tight sealant.
4. The rubber washers supplied with the mounting bolts must always seat against the enclosure.
5. The gland-nut securing the loudspeaker cable to the enclosure is sealed at the factory. Do not attempt
to remove this nut or the weather-tight seal will be broken. If it is desired to replace the gland-nut
with a jack, the jack must be a weatherproof design. It must be suitably sealed to the enclosure with
silicone caulk or some other suitable weather-tight sealant.
6. The grille assembly is designed to prevent normal and wind-driven rain from directly entering the
mouth of the loudspeaker. The grille is not designed to withstand such things as being directly
sprayed from a hose; therefore this should be avoided.
7. If you use any hardware in place of the stainless steel screws, bolts, nuts and washers supplied, it
should also be made of stainless steel.
CAUTION: If the above instructions are not observed, the weather-resistant integrity of a WET II
enclosure can be compromised. This can result in damage to or failure of the hardware or internal
components.
SERVICING WET SERIES II LOUDSPEAKERS
Servicing a WET Series II loudspeaker is straightforward and easy. All drivers and crossover assemblies are
serviceable by removing the screws that attach the protective grille to the front of the enclosure. There are no
other user-serviceable parts.
