• Choose locations for your speakers. If using two separate speakers, keep in mind your “sweet spot” the area where you will spend most of your time.
• Choose your wiring method: Wall Mount, PVC conduit or Direct Burial cable.14 gauge low voltage Malibu direct burial cable works ne and is readily
available.
• Bury your conduit or wire 18” below grade to prevent damage by tillers or shovels when planting. Prewire before hardscape concrete.
• Insure there is enough room to place the PRO OC65-70V or PRO OC525-70V to enable aiming and rotation.
• Mount the U-Bracket rst then attach the speakers with the (2) positive locking knobs. Aim the speaker then tighten the knobs to secure in place.
• The knobs are a male ¼-20 thread that mate to the 1/4 -20 insert on the speaker. This accommodates other mounts and tamper proof screws.
• Carefully identify IN and OUT cables at both ends . For proper phasing identify the (+) and (-) on each cable.
• 70 volt speakers can be Daisy Chained from one speaker to the next.
• How do I know what size 70 volt amp to use? Rule of thumb- add up all the wattage taps of the speakers then divide by .75 for safety factor. Example,
suppose you have 10 speakers with the wattage tap of 15, the total wattage would be 150 watts. Divide 150W/.75 = 200W. Now select an amp of
200W or higher.
• Connect the amplier Output wire to the IN on the green connecting block of the PRO OC-70V speaker. Observe polarity. Then connect the OUT to the
next speaker till the end.
• Before connecting the wires to the amplier check the impedance with a multi-meter on the resistance scale. Make sure there are no shorts. (0 resistance)
• If multi-meter reading is OK then connect to amplier.
