HDL Rhythmus Outdoor Speaker P287 User manual

Overview
Rhythmus Outdoor Speaker P287（See Figure 1 and 2）is designed to accurately reproduce high
fidelity music in an outdoor environment. It produces crisp highs necessary for an outdoor situation as
well as a surprising amount of bass given their compact size. Rhythmus Outdoor Speaker P287 is
waterproof and built to last through all seasons. All exposed screws are stainless steel and the alumi-
num grille is powder-coated so rust is not an issue. The cabinet is made of a high-impact ABS polymer
and includes paint with UV protection. The primary components include a polypropylene driver with a
butyl rubber surround and a PEI tweeter that hold up under extreme temperature fluctuations.
Features
See Figure 3 and 4
1. 1” PEI tweeter for clear highs and long outdoor life.
2. 6.5” polypropylene cone for smooth mids and bass.
3. Butyl rubber surround ensures a long life.
4. Stainless steel screws will not rust
5. Powder-coated aluminum grille will not rust, and micro-mesh design keeps rain out.
Important Notes
■You will achieve the best stereo sound and imaging if you mount both speakers along the same
wall between 7 and 15 feet apart.
■Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers can support the weight of the
speakers.
■Never attach the speakers to a wall that might contain electrical wiring or plumbing.
■It is recommended to use a “drip loop” when installing your speaker cable to help minimize the
direct flow of water onto the speaker.

Safety Precautions
■The device must be mounted and commissioned by an authorized electrician. For planning and
construction of electric installations, the relevant guidelines, regulations and standards of the
respective country are to be considered.
■All consequences caused by installation and wire connection which are not in accordance with
this specification have nothing to do with our company.

cal failure, electric shock, fire or body injury.
■Please resort to our customer service department or designated agencies for maintenance ser-
vice. The warranty is not applicable for the product fault caused by private disassembly.

Installation steps are as below:
1. Using the “keyhole” slots in the U-brackets as a guide, mark where the two screws will be in-
stalled.
2. If a stud is not available behind the drywall, drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the
drywall anchor and insert the drywall anchor until it is flush with the wall. Drive screws into a wall
stud (if available) or into the drywall anchors leaving the screw heads protruding about 1/8”from
the wall. Always use two screws (and two drywall anchors if no stud is available) for each speak-
er.
3. Run the speaker cable into position and pull the cable through the hole in the center of the bracket
before mounting the bracket. Leave an extra 18” of cable to make installation and positioning of
the speaker easier.
4. With the bracket attached to the speaker (using the round bracket knobs), place the large center
portion of each “keyhole” over the protruding heads of each screw. Slide the speaker and brack-
ets down so that the screw head slips behind the smaller end of the keyhole.
5. Tug gently on each speaker and bracket to make sure that the screws and bracket are properly
held snugly in place. If necessary, disconnect a speaker from the bracket, tighten the screws, and
then reattach the speaker.
6. Connect the speaker cables to the speaker before connecting the other end to your amplifier:
Strip approximately 1/2” of insulation away and tightly twist the wires. For both the positive and
negative cable, twist open the binding post by turning counter-clockwise to reveal an “eye”. Insert
the wire into the “eye” and tighten the binding post back down. When connecting a speaker it is
important to maintain correct polarity.
7. With the amplifier turned off, connect the other end of the speaker cable in accordance with the
instructions provided with that component. Once connected, turn on the amplifier and test the
speakers.
