The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which
gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speak-
er. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.
Wire Recommendation

0 -100’ (0 - 30m) 16
50 - 150’ (15 - 45m) 14

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified
as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some
means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification
may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive
(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire
is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other
colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to
be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

When choosing the point where the
wire exits the house, remember that
it’s best if less wire is exposed to the
outside elements. Try to find a point
in the wall as close to the speaker as
possible when drilling a hole for the
wire. Once you run the wire through
that point, be sure to properly seal the
hole. If you’re routing the wire underground, use a direct burial wire. To prevent
future damage, it’s recommended to also use a PVC conduit.
1. Installing the Wire

(6 - 12mm)
Speaker
Wire
Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.
Wire Routing
The wire can be routed behind the
baseboard by cutting a groove out of
the back of the baseboard, or by buy-
ing special baseboard designed for
concealing wires.
Behind the Baseboard
When running wires through a wall, be
sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC
wiring, pipes, and ducts.
Through Walls

OS60 & 50 Series Seasons Outdoor Collection
One option is to li up the carpet and
rout “tape wire” under the carpet.
Under the Carpet
When available, you can route the wire
through an attic or crawlspace.
Attic or Basement
If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the
installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these
situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to
install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our web-
site. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
For New Construction
Using the template, mark the location for the screws on the wall. (The speaker can
be mounted vertically or horizontally.)
Depending on the type of surface you’re installing the speaker on, you may need
to use anchors of some kind. If you’re installing the speaker on a hollow wall,
it’s recommended you use hollow-wall anchors. Likewise, if you’re installing the
speaker on brick, stone, or concrete, it’s best to use masonry anchors.
Drill the holes for the screws. If you’re installing the speaker on brick, stone, or
concrete, use a hammer drill. Install the screws leaving a 1/10” (2.5mm) space
between wall and screwhead for hanging the bracket.

When you’re finished, hang the speaker on the wall. The speaker is designed to
have the tweeter at the top if it’s mounted vertically, or to the outside if mounted
horizontally. If the speaker is installed horizontally, the logo can be rotated to be
right-side-up.
3. Installing the Speaker
Strip ¼” (6 mm) of the insulation o both ends of the wire. To avoid stray strands,
twist them at the end. On the speaker, remove the rubber cover from the input
terminal. Pull the wire through the cover, so it can be reattached to the speaker
aer the wire has been connected.
4. Connecting the Wire
Insert the wires into the connector, making sure that the positive wire is being
attached to the (+) connection and the negative wire is being attached to the (-)
connection. (If the negative and positive wires are switched, speaker performance

Our season speakers are designed
to compensate the bass for the ef-
fects of outdoor bass (0dB). The
OS56 and OS66 models have a
switch to adjust the bass for indoor
use (-3dB). To aim the speaker, turn
the knobs at the top and bottom
counter clockwise to loosen the
mounting bracket. Turn the speaker so it’s facing the way you would like it to face
and tighten the knobs.
5. Testing & Adjustments
will be drastically impacted.) Insert the connector into the matching receptacle on
the speaker. If it’s diicult to insert the connector because the mounting bracket
is in the way, the bracket can be rotated to the side. Simply turn the knobs on the
top and bottom counter clockwise to loosen the bracket so it can be moved to the
side. Slide the cover up the wire and reattach it to the speaker. Connect the wire
to the amplifier, and make sure the wire connected to the le speaker output will
be routed to the le speaker, right output to right speaker, etc.

If possible, it’s oen good to try to isolate the problem first. For example, if you’re
playing a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player
to the system to see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the tele-
vision, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem
will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume
settings on both the amplifier and the television/computer/CD
player/etc.
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or
receiver.
No Sound Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The
cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or out-
put.
No Sound Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers.
Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any
way.
Poor Sound
Quality
If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and
out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a
cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not
connected properly.
Poor Sound
Quality
Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the
volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume
control, and your amplifier may also have one. Check to be
certain that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound
Quality
Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve
chosen is a good quality recording.
