Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NuVo Rock speakers. Enjoying high quality sound outside is no longer a lifestyle for the
rich and famous. The NuVo Rock speakers offer a very affordable and attractive highlight for any garden or patio area. While
enjoying the outdoors, you can delight in your favorite music or just relax and listen to the game. Whatever your preference, the
NuVo Rock speakers will provide years of outdoor music enjoyment.
Proper Placement of Your Rock Speakers
Ideally the speakers should be placed on either side of the targeted listening area with about 8 to 10 feet of separation. This will
allow the best enjoyment of stereo audio. The speaker design allows them to be placed on the ground among garden plantings. Be
careful when concealing the speakers not to cover the grill area with any substance or plantings that could impede the sound. Try
to leave a 5 to 7 foot distance between the speakers and the listening area.
Making the Connection
The speakers are easily connected to any audio amplifier using the sealed speaker wire pigtail from the back of the speaker
enclosure. The red lead indicates the positive signal and black indicates the negative signal. These should be spliced with the
corresponding wire coming from the source amplifier. Note that most speaker wire indicates the positive with a red wire and the
negative signal with a black wire. Some wires indicate the positive lead with a dark stripe on the wire and in many outdoor low-
voltage wires the negative lead is indicated with a rib in the insulation. Connecting the positive and negative leads incorrectly will
cause it to be out of phase and will result in a weak bass response.
Remove 2 to 3 inches of the outer jacket of the speaker wire coming from the source amplifier. Carefully strip about ½ inch of the
insulation covering the two speaker conductors within the outer jacket. Twist the bare speaker wire leads together and screw a wire
nut to each of the connected leads.

You should only use wire nuts rated for outdoor weatherproof use. Do Not Use electrical or duct tape as a means of
weatherproofing the wire connection. As an additional weatherproofing option you may want to fill the bottom edge of the wire
nuts with a silicone-based sealant. If you are burying the wire underground, only use speaker wire rated for in-ground use. An
alternative to burying the wire is to run it through PVC pipe that is buried. Be sure to seal all joints in the pipe to insure a
waterproof enclosure.
