AP SERIES
Thank you for giving OSD AUDIO the chance to earn your business! We are condent you will nd that OSD oers an outstanding combination of performance
and value in everything we make. To ensure you get the most out of your new patio speakers, please take a moment to read this manual before you get started.
Installing Speakers
These weather resistant patio speakers are manufactured to resist a variety of weather condition. The most ideal place to install these speakers is the undersides
of most eaves and overhangs as they provide the best protection. Like all speakers, they sound the best when placed no more than seven feet apart from each
other, and slightly higher than ear level. If the speakers are more than seven feet apart, toe them in toward the center of the listening area.
These speakers are not waterproof and cannot be submerged under water.
Placing Speakers
If your application requires the speaker to be mounted, please follow these directions. Using the hardware supplied, mount the bracket rst. Attach the
speakers to the brackets using the large plastic knobs supplied.
Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard.
If you are unsure,consult a professional contractor. (See Diagram 1)
Painting the grilles
The metal grilles may also be painted. Use very thin paint (5:1). It will be easier to paint the grilles while it is o the speaker. Avoid plugging up the holes with
excess paint. First remove the grille fom the speaker using spray paint lightly go over the front of the grille and then go over the back of the grille. Two coats
may be nessesary for desired look. The binding post speaker terminals on the speakers will accommodate up to 12-guage wire. When using 70V amplier
output, please select a power setting through the knob switch. When connecting the speakers, it is very important to observe the correct polarity. This means
that the wire attached to the (+), red, or positive terminals on one component must be attached to the (+), red, or positive terminal on the corresponding
component speaker output terminals. Similarly, the (-), Black, Negative or ground terminals must connect to the respective (-), Black, Negative, or ground
terminals. This is easy to do by locating the color stripes that appears on most wire.
Mounting
To install the bracket on the speaker. Screw the bracket knobs into the cabinet. Point the speaker toward the listening area. Once the direction of the
speaker has been determined tighten the bracket knobs securely. (See Diagram 2)
WIRING
Connect the speaker cable to the speaker cable terminals, matching the proper polarity with your amplier, + to + (red) and - to - (black). Make sure to
connect the right channel to the right speaker and the left channel to the left speaker . Either channel may be attached to either terminals set, however, be
sure that polarity ( + and - ) is correct on each channel or the performance of the speaker will be seriously aected as one channel will cancel out the other.
L/R Pair Speaker
70 Volts consideration
(Applicable to only 70V tap speakers)
The 70V transformer oers you the ability to
daisy chain multiple number of speakers in
series. In doing so, you would simply connect 1
pair of outputs to each speaker and daisy chain
to subsequential speaker/s. If you don’t intend
to daisy chain the speakers, set the default
setting to 8 ohms. (See Diagram 3)
