Introduction
Universal wall speaker
The WXMK2/O are powerful 2-way performance speakers, which are especially
designed for outdoor use, ensuring true-to-nature, high fidelity reproduction of music
and speech in every environement, ranging from modern residential applications to the
most demanding outdoor applications in parks, stadiums, hotels and even clubs.
It features a stunningly designed and elegant looking ABS housing which is fitted with
high quality components. The speaker is available in three sizes, 3”, 5 1/4” and 8”, and
can be used in standard ow impedance systems as well as 100V PA installations. A
special treatment with powder coating provides the necessary protection for all weather
conditions. Because of this, the powder coated aluminum bracket and grill can pass
the 720 hours salt-spray test. A drain hole behind the aluminum grill allows water to
flow out and the rotatable 5 pole waterproof connector with power tap selection makes
sure that the speaker meets the IP55 standard. The included mounting bracket allows
horizontal and vertical mounting as well as focusing of the speaker, and an integrated
advanced protection network protects the tweeter against overload.

Installing the WX802MK2/O
Step 1: Mount the loudspeaker
The loudspeaker can be mounted both horizontally and vertically by means of the sup-
plied mounting bracket. For mounting the loudspeaker on the desired mounting location,
the mounting bracket should be removed from the loudspeaker. This can be done by
loosening the thumbscrews on either side of the loudspeaker. After this is done, the
mounting holes should be indicated.
For a stable mounting of the loudspeaker it should always be fastened by two screws.
The position of the mounting holes depends on the mounting orientation, horizontally
or vertically. After this, the bracket can be mounted on the desired location. Always use
the proper fasteners depending of the mounting surface. Once the bracket is mounted
on the desired location, the loudspeaker can be fixed to the bracket.

ATTENTION
To make sure that no rain or other liquids can enter the loudspeaker when mounted
outside, a special construction is provided at the inner side of the bass port. This
construction is only functional when the loudspeaker is mounted in the correct position.
The loudspeaker must be mounted according to the woofer orientation as shown below.
When mounting upright, the tweeter shall be on top of the woofer, when mounted
sideways the tweeter shall be on the right side of the woofer.
Step 2: Power settings
The power tap of the WXMK2/O speakers can be selected depending on the orienta-
tion of the waterproof connector on the rear side of the loudspeaker. A white dot is
displayed on the cable part of the connector. Depending on the direction of the white
dot, the desired power tap is connected. The corresponding power taps are shown
on the sticker on the rear side of the loudspeaker. The power / impedance of the
loudspeaker can be set in 3 adjustable steps of impedance for 100V and 1 step for
standard low impedance applications.
