Description
TRUAUDIO’s outdoor speakers bring a whole new
meaning to Outdoor Audio. Designed exclusively to
handle most any conditions, this series delivers great
sound even in wide-open spaces. Custom-designed
cabinets are made from tough, UV resistant ABS plastic
and are built to take years of all–weather abuse.
Available in either black or white, these speakers can
blend into most any outdoor environment including decks,
patios, pool areas and gardens. With the new Swivot
Technology mounting system you will have additional
flexibility to aim your speaker more precise, also the
wedge shaped cabinet can be mounted either horizontally
or vertically, which makes it easy to tuck the speakers up
and out of the way. All the models incorporate a two-way
design with polypropylene woofer and soft silk dome
tweeter for clean sound even in the great outdoors. These
speakers also feature aluminum grills, gold binding posts,
brass fittings and can be used with optional ball pivoting
mounts.
Choosing the Speaker Location
The biggest determination of any speaker’s sound quality
is placement. Making sure you choose the best location
for your speakers will ensure you get great quality sound
outdoor.
For the best stereo sound, separate the speakers by at
least 5 – 6 feet. By placing the speaker near a wall or
ceiling, you will get an increase in bass. A corner
placement will deliver even more bass.
Placing your speakers outside under a deck or eve of the
roof reduces exposure to constant sunlight and water.
Mounting the Speakers
Use the supplied Swivot brackets to the mount the
speakers vertically or horizontally on the wall, ceiling or
other surface. These brackets include holes for mounting
that will fit a variety of hardware. Different mounting
hardware will be required depending on the surface you
are mounting the speakers on.
First remove the bracket from packaging. Pull the
speaker wire through the hole in the center of the bracket
and then mount the bracket in the desired location. Make
sure to mount the bracket with enough space on both
sides to swivel the speaker and level whether vertical or
horizontal. Loosen the two knobs on the bracket to allow
the mount to -20°. Strip about 3/8” of the
shielding from the end of the speaker wire and attach the
wire to the speaker making sure to observe polarity
(po and negative -).
Attach the speaker to the bracket with the provided
mounted knobs on each end of the speaker, leaving the
speaker loose enough to move. Swivel the mount to the
desired angle, move speaker up or down to give you
enough space to tighten the two knobs on the mount.
Adjust the speaker to the listening area and then tighten
the knobs on the mount.
Painting the Speakers
All models in this series can be painted to match the
environment.
To paint the cabinet, first remove the grill. This can be
done with a paper clip or a very small tipped flat
screwdriver. Mask off the speaker faceplate (where the
woofer and tweeter are mounted) and the speaker
terminals located on the back. Wipe off any dust or dirt
from the cabinet. Apply two coats of primer letting each
coat dry before applying the next coat. Apply one or two
coats of paint depending on the paint. Once the paint has
dried completely, remove the masking material.
To paint the grill, remove the grill from the speaker. No
primer coat is needed. If using think paint, try to thin the
paint so it does not clog the holes in the grill. Let the paint
dry completely. Re-insert the grill on the speaker face.
Maintenance
This speaker requires very little maintenance.
Occasionally wipe off any dust or dirt build up with a
damp, soft cloth. Avoid spraying a hose directly on the
speaker.
