Thank you for buying o utdoor speaker. Please read and have a thorough understandi ng of the entire manual
before installation and use. Keep the man ual for maintenance .

•Most speaker damage is caused by amplifiers with too little power (wattage).
•An overdriven amplifier clips the waveforms and sends distortion to the speakers.
•Clipping is usually audible; it may vary from a harsh sound to a fuzzy or unclear sound.
•If you hear this condition at loud volume levels, turn down the volume until the distortion is no longer present.
•Damage caused by operating the speakers at distorted volume levels is not covered by the warranty.
EXAMPLE OF 70V/100V SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
70V/100V
C
5 SPEAKERS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL USING 16W TAPS
NOTE: The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of the 70V
/100V amplifier. The above example shows 5 total speakers. Using the 16W taps, you will need an amplifier with at
least (5) x (16) = 80W. A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 20% greater power; in this case, an amplifier
that delivers about 100W.
UNDERPOWERING VS. OVERPOWERING
IMPORTANT: Optimus has made every effort to provide accurate and detailed instruction for this product’s
assembly and installation. Should you have any doubts consult a qualified professional fitter, Optimus
recognizes no liability for any difficulty or problem derived from the interpretation of these instructions. These
brackets and all their parts and accessories must only be used for the purpose they have been constructed.
Optimus, its commercial distributors and retailers are not , directly or indirectly, responsible for any damage to
persons and or properties derived from the use of this product in an unsafe or different way for which it has been
designed and constructed.
Several parts of this product are small pieces of hardware therefore extreme care should be taken to keep them
from children.
Read these instructions carefully before using the product
1. When the speakers are installed outdoor, check that the wall structure is reliable and that the speaker is firmly
attached. The user should be responsible for this very thing.
2. Do not place the speakers on a turntable or movable support.
3. Do not touch or bump the woofer and tweeter. If these are damaged, the sound will be distorted.
4. Do not listen to sound at a very high level when you are changing the input source (for example, to tune FM /
CD) installation or removal of cables should make sure that the power amp / amplifier device radio is turned off.
5. Don’t attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this may damage the paint surface. Clean with
a dry cloth.
Connection
Use wire on the back of the speaker in the output tab of the amplifier (or amplifiers of radio). The speaker wire is
on one side red and on the other one black. Connect to the red side of the amplifier and speakers (+) tab.
Connect one end of the black side (-) in the other tab. Connect each speaker to make sure that is not (+,-)
inverted polarity. If the polarity of the speakers is reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will play without
bass.
Depending on the type of installation, direct burial of the speaker wires from the amplifier to the loudspeakers may be
adequate, or the use of 12 ID conduit may be required for protecting the wires from possible physical damage if
future excavation or other alterations are anticipated in the area of the installation.
