ALL WEATHER DESIGN
The OutBack Speakers from Russound have the features that a
true outdoor speaker requires. From rain to snow, saltwater to
the sun’s harmful UV rays, OutBack speakers are meant to be
placed OutBack with the worst Mother Nature can dish out!
Along with the gold-plated binding posts, solid brass and stain-
less steel hardware and rust-proof aluminum grille the reso-
nance-free, mineral filled composite cabinet can withstand
extreme temperature fluctuations from –50F to 200F. OutBack
speakers were created with harsh environments in mind.
CONNECTIN G YOUR SPEAKERS
The gold-plated binding posts on the OutBack speakers are
color-coded for polarity; red is positive and black is negative.
The binding posts are designed to accept either bare wire or
"Banana Plugs." Turn off the amplifier prior to making connec-
tions to avoid possible damage from accidental speaker wire
shorting. Make sure that all connections are tight and there is
no shorting of wires from one terminal to another. Check that
the polarity is correct on both speakers, otherwise bass response
and imaging will suffer from cancellation.
CONNECTIN G YOUR OB-SOLO
Attach each pair of wires to the red and black speaker ter-
minals. Press down on the gold plated binding post and insert
the wire into the hole. Release binding post. Make sure that no
stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the
other main wire.
MOUNTING
DO NOT mount the speaker with the front facing up as water
can directly enter the cabinet through the port opening.
Mounting Using Standard Bracket (included):
The OutBack speakers are equipped with mounting brackets that
will allow either vertical or horizontal mounting. The brackets
should be mounted using a level to assure correct positioning.
Always make sure that the mounting surface and fasteners will
support the speaker safely. Connect the speaker wiring to the
speaker, assuring correct polarity. Secure the speaker to the
bracket using the supplied knobs. Adjust the speaker for opti-
mum sound. Hand-tighten the knobs only! Use of power tools
can cause damage to the threaded inserts, causing them to break
free of the cabinet.
Mounting Using Aftermarket Bracket:
Dual 1/4-20 brass inserts are for use with various aftermarket
mounting systems. Follow directions included with aftermarket product.
