• Ifusingastereosoundsystem,placeleftand right speakers evenly to avoid uneven sound. Mono systems
provide more even coverage without sounding uneven.
5.2. Mounting Considerations

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.

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
basein,leavingabout1/2turnofplaytoallowfor naladjustment.Aftertheloudspeakerisinstalledand
