AIR®2-Way Surface Mount Outdoor Speakers
a. Route the audio source’s (and a second speaker’s) wiring through
the supplied weather boot (if used). Strip the wires 1/4 in
(~6 mm), twist the strands, insert them into the terminal block,
and tighten the screws to secure them.
b. Reattach the terminal block to the speaker connector.
c. The weather boot press-fits securely into the connector housing
recess.
4. Carefully mount the speaker onto the QuickBall mounting bracket,
ensuring that the ball is fully inserted into the cavity. Rotate and set
the speaker at the desired angle, and raise the ball socket clamp
lever into position against the bottom of the speaker to secure the
speaker in position. Use the supplied security screw to prevent the
lever from being accidentally pulled, which releases the speaker.
5. Attach a security cable (SPKA-ST-15, sold separately) to the security
cable attachment point. The other end of the cable must be attached
to a secondary support point able to support several times the weight
of the speaker.

combined weight of the speakers and the wall mount assemblies. Refer to section  for speaker
weights.
AIR®speakers by Crestron®offer superior sound quality and flexible
installation in a range of popular sizes for all types of indoor and outdoor
applications. Solid construction and high-end components are hallmarks
of the complete AIR speaker line. Each AIR model provides a pair of
weatherized 2-way surface mount outdoor loudspeakers with polypropylene
woofers for deep, solid, bass, optimized dual front ports for enhanced low
frequency response, and titanium dome tweeters for crisp, clear high-end
extension.
Featuring a unique “QuickBall” mounting system, the AIR speakers can be
mounted to any solid,flat surface, with the ability to orient and aim the
speaker in virtually any position. The QuickBall bracket achieves a very clean
and stable installation using a tool-free ball-and-socket mechanism. Simply
position the speaker as desired and flip the clamp lever closed. A security
screw is included to deter theft by preventing the lever from being released.
AIR speakers, supplied in pairs, are available in black or white and can be
painted to blend with the surrounding architecture.

Refer to the illustration to the right as necessary, and install the speakers as
follows:
1. Route the cables from the audio source to the intended speaker locations
while following all appropriate local codes.
2. Attach the QuickBall mounting bracket directly to the wall or to a flush
mounted 1-gang US, UK, or European electrical box, allowing the cable
coming through the wall (and the electrical box, if used) to exit through the
speaker cable access hole of the mounting bracket.
NOTE: If the mounting bracket is to be attached to an electrical box, be
sure it is also attached to surrounding framing to provide the support
needed to hold the weight of the speaker.
The QuickBall mounting bracket can also be mounted to a light pole or post
using pole mounting straps (not included).
3. Detach the 4-pin screw terminal block connector from the speaker. Connect
the audio source’s + and - outputs to the connector’s outer + and -(IN)
terminals. Maximum wire size is 12 AWG. Use the inner + and - (THRU)
terminals to connect a second speaker in parallel.
NOTE: The number of speakers that can be added is limited only by the
specifications of the amplifier.

The following table provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further assistance is
required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative.
TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION
There is either no sound
or the sound from the
speakers is intermittent.
There is a cable connection
error. Verify the cable connections between the amplifier and speakers.
The amplifier is not
receiving an input signal
or there is an amplifier
malfunction.
Verify that the amplifer is functioning
correctly, that it is receiving an input signal,
and that the correct input source is selected.
There is a faulty device in
the system. Verify that all devices in the system are functioning properly.
Constant noise such as
buzzing, humming,or
hissing comes from the
speakers. There is a system grounding
fault. Verify the system grounding connection.
The low frequency output
is poor. The connection polarity at the speaker is incorrect. Verify speaker connection polarity (i.e., + on speaker to + on amplifier).
