Proficient Audio Systems R650 User manual

SPEAKER INSTALLATION
• Each Rock Speaker has a two-conductor cable exiting the bottom of the speaker. This cable should be connected to a similar
cable run to the speaker location from your audio system. Procient recommends using certied direct burial cable that is ideal
for this purpose. The cable can be run either directly beneath the speaker into the ground, or you can use the notch on the
bottom of the cabinet to exit the cable out the side.
• When attaching the wire to the Rock Speaker, it is critical that a high quality connection is achieved. A poor connection may lead
to corrosion and a decline in or loss of performance. For best results, use a set of weatherproof wirenuts. Another option is to use
a watertight direct burial box or crimp or solder the wires together and use a heat shrink tube to seal each connector.
• Each Rock Speaker includes an integrated anti-theft ring located at the bottom of each cabinet. This ring will allow you to attach
a security harness to it.
CAUTION
Although they are designed to withstand the elements, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long-term
performance of your speakers. Keep soil and wood chips from covering the speaker grille. If soil accumulates on the grille, it can
be rinsed away with low water pressure. Chemicals commonly used in the yard can potentially damage the rubber parts of the
speaker. Avoid spraying such chemicals onto or near the speaker.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
• If you desire music over a wide area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers playing at low volume, rather than a few
speakers playing at high volume. Keep this in mind when designing your outdoor system.
• Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area as possible. The perceived volume of the speaker
decreases rapidly as it is moved further from the listener.
• Avoid placing the speakers where the grille area will come in direct contact with water from sprinklers.
• Direct burial wire or conduit for new yard construction must be run to the location of the speakers. Keep in mind that patios,
walls and other features in your yard may be dicult to get around when wiring.

vice requests made without proof of date of purchase will be denied. Freight

• Repair or replace the product at no additional charge; or
• If the model is no longer available and can not be repaired eectively, replace
the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In some cases where
a new model is substituted, a modication to the mounting surface may be
required. If mounting surface modication is required, Procient assumes no
responsibility or liability for such modication.
Procient will bear the cost of returning the repaired or replaced product to
you, freight prepaid. All replaced parts and product become the property of

contact you to arrange for return of the product to you, at your expense.
EXCLUSIONS:
• This Warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by
accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, negligence, inadequate packing or shipping
procedures, commercial use, voltage inputs in excess of the rated maximum
of the unit, or service, repair or modication of the product by unauthorized
dealers. This Warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by
environmental conditions.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
EXPRESSED AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES. PROFICIENT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. In no event will Procient be liable for any incidental
or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product,
even if Procient has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any
claim by any other party. Notwithstanding the above, if you qualify as a “con-
sumer” under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any
implied warranties allowed by law for the Warranty Period. Further, some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts or allow
the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so such limitations may not
apply to you.
