Sonance LANDSCAPE LS48SAT8 User manual

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing SLS 8ohm Speakers. When properly
installed, these speakers will provide you with years of outdoor
entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new
speakers, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin
installation.
Box Contents
SLS Satellite box contains:
(1) Satellite speaker
(2) Silicone filled wire nuts
Satellite Location Selection
The SLS is designed to deliver a seamless, evenly dispersed
sound field in an ‘open air’ environment. An array of multiple
Satellite speakers and Subwoofers should be strategically
placed to minimize ‘hot spots’ and ‘nulls’ as you move around
the outdoor entertainment area. See Figure 1.
AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE, (1) SATELLITE WILL COVER
ABOUT 250 SQUARE FEET OF LISTENING AREA
Select locations for the satellites that are as close as possible to
the same distance from the main listening area. When possible
use high and low locations to centralize the acoustic stage.

Satellite Wiring
The Sonance SLS 8ohm system allows the satellite speakers to
be wired together in a parallel-daisy chain configuration. In a
typical system with one zone of audio, simply run a 4 conductor
wire from the amplifier or connection point to the closest speaker.
Once you have designated the first speaker as either left or
right, continue alternating the wires between the left and right
channels creating a daisy chain of stereo satellites. A maximum
of 4 total Satellites and 1 SR Subwoofer can be connected in this
configuration. See Figure 2.
NOTE: SONANCE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE
OF 14 GAUGE OR LARGER DIRECT BURIAL GRADE WIRE.
CAUTION: THE AMPLIFIER SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED
TOACPOWERUNTILALLCONNECTIONSARECOMPLETED.
DO NOT CONNECT SPEAKER WIRES TO THE AMPLIFIER
UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE COMPLETED.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE NOT TO LET ANY STRAY ‘+’ & ‘–’
STRANDS TOUCH EACH OTHER. TOUCHING STRANDS
CAN CAUSE A SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT COULD DAMAGE
YOUR AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE CONNECTED
SPEAKER “+” TO AMPLIFIER “+” AND SPEAKER “–”
TO AMPLIFIER “–”.
7. After all the speaker connections are completed, connect
the wires to your amplifier. See Figure 4 for reference.
8. Turn your amplifier on and test the system with your
favorite music. If the speakers are operating properly, refill
the wire trench and enjoy your new speakers.

Satellite Installation
1. Once Locations have been established, choose the
appropriate mounting accessories for the project. PLEASE
NOTE: Always use a #3 Phillips head screwdriver when
fine tuning the height adjustment screw.
• For applications on flat surfaces, such as the side of a
building or structure, use the SM1 Round Surface Mount.
See Instruction Manual included with accessory for precise
instructions.
• For placement directly into the ground, use the GS9 ABS
in-ground stake for the LS48SAT8. See Instruction Manual
included with accessory for precise instructions.
• For in-tree Mounting, use the TSMJB Tree / Surface
Mounting Junction Box. See Instruction Manual included
with accessory for precise instructions.
2. Once the accessories have been mounted at the desired
locations, mount the satellites by threading the mounting
shaft into the corresponding opening of the accessory.
NOTE: ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE
ELECTRICAL LEADS TO AVOID NICKS AND CUTS
THAT MIGHT SHORT THE SYSTEM.
3. Prepare individual leads to be connected to main leads.
4. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.
5. Run the wire through the trench from your amplifier to the
first speaker location.
6. Connect the direct burial wire to each speaker wire,
connections should be made with either silicone filled wire
connectors or appropriate junction boxes. See Figure 3.
