ES-LS-SAT Installation Manual

5. INSTALLATION

5.1   Determining Loudspeaker Locations

 

•   Plan locations with no more than 25'-30' spacing between satellite speakers.  Using more speakers in an area 

allows for more even sound coverage.  70 volt systems can be fine-tuned further using the wattage tap setting to 

determine the final volume of each loudspeaker.

 

•   Landscape speakers can be installed at ground level pointing into the center of an area instead of high up on walls 

or trees to help reduce sound escaping to other areas.

 

•   If using a stereo sound system, place left and right speakers evenly to avoid uneven sound.  Mono systems 

provide more even coverage without sounding uneven.

5.2.   Mounting  Considerations

 

•   When mounting outdoors, the upward angle must be at 45° or less to prevent water from collecting in the speaker 

driver.  While water alone will not damage the loudspeaker, it will prevent it from playing properly until the water 

evaporates.  Water could also cause damage if the water freezes while in this position.

 

•   Clearance  around  the  speaker  is  required  for  mounting,  connecting,  and  adjusting  the  angle  of  the  speaker.   

Care should be taken while selecting the mounting area so that the speakers do not become a trip hazard or an 

obstacle for landscaping equipment.

 

•   Avoid  locations  where  lawn  irrigation  sprinklers  might  shoot  high  pressure  water  directly  into  the  front  of  the 

loudspeaker.  The loudspeakers will not be damaged by normal rainfall, but high pressure irrigation systems 

shooting water directly into the speakers may damage the audio components.

5.3.   Loudspeaker Mounting and Angle Adjustments

 

  A.  Pan

    

 The pan adjustment of the loudspeaker allows for left to right alignment of sound coverage.  This is adjusted 

using the mounting base threads and lock nut.  After attaching the loudspeaker to a compatible mounting 

accessory, route the makeup lead wires on the speaker into the mounting device, and then thread the speaker 

base in, leaving about 1/2 turn of play to allow for final adjustment.  After the loudspeaker is installed and 

aimed correctly, use the lock nut on the threads to lock it in place at the correct position.

 

  B.  Tilt

    

 The tilt adjustment allows for up and down adjustment of sound coverage.  Adjust the angle of the speaker 

by loosening the set screw on the pivot bracket as illustrated.  Adjust the angle to the desired position and re-

tighten the screw.
