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.
