Outdoor Landscape Rock Speaker
Thank you for purchasing Vanguard Dynamics Rock Speakers. When properly installed, these speakers will provide you with years of
outdoor entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new speakers, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin
installation.
Introduction
• If you desire music over a wide area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers playing at low volume, rather than a few speakers
playing at high volume. Keep this in mind when designing your outdoor system.
• Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area as possible. The perceived volume of the speaker
decreases rapidly as it is moved further from the listener.
• Direct burial wire or conduit for new yard construction must be run to the location of the speakers. Keep in mind that
patios, walls and other features in your yard may be difficult to get around when wiring.
Speaker Placement
Connecting The Speakers
1. Determine the locations for the speakers and estimate the length of additional wire you will need for each speaker.
NOTE: WHEN PURCHASING ADDITIONAL WIRE, VANGUARD DYNAMICS STRONGLY RECOMMENDS USING DIRECT BURIAL GRADE WIRE.
2. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.
3. Run the wire through the trench from your amplifier to the speaker locations. Do not connect the wires to the amplifier
at this time.
4. Connect the speaker wires you ran from your amplifier to the wires that came attached to the speakers. Vanguard Dynamics
recommends using waterproof wire nuts (not included) to secure the wires.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE NOT TO LET ANY STRAY ‘+’ AND ‘–’ STRANDS TOUCH EACH OTHER. TOUCHING STRANDS CAN CAUSE A SHORT-
CIRCUIT THAT COULD DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER
5. After you have made the above connections, connect the wires to your amplifier.
NOTE: CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE CONNECTED SPEAKER “+” TO AMPLIFIER “+” AND SPEAKER “–” TO AMPLIFIER “–”
6. Turn your amplifier on and test the system with your favorite music. If the speakers are operating properly, refill the wire
trench and enjoy your new speakers
CAUTION :
Although they are designed to withstand the elements, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long-term performance
of your speakers. Keep soil and wood chips from covering the speaker grill. If soil accumulates on the grill, it can be rinsed away with
low water pressure. Chemicals commonly used in the yard can potentially damage the rubber parts of the speaker. Avoid spraying
such chemicals onto or near the speaker. Also avoid placing the speakers where the grill area will come in direct contact with sprinklers.
