Introduction Please read the Important Safety Instructions supplied with these speakers before beginning their installation. The OW-6 and OW-8 are custom installation, wall-mount, passive high-performance speakers suitable for installation both inside and outdoors. They are supplied with adjustable wall-mount brackets and can be powered by both conventional “low-z” amplification or 100V/70V line amplification.
Carton Contents Each OW Series speak pack contains the following items: 2 x OW Series speakers 2 x Connection cover panels 2 x Wall-mount brackets 8 x Connection cover panel screws 2 x Secondary restraint eyelets 1 x 5.
Speaker Positions OW Series speakers are designed for both high performance and background sound applications either indoors or outdoors. If OW Series speakers are to be used for stereo or home theatre applications try to locate them as outlined in the following paragraphs: Stereo Systems In the majority of cases, stereo speakers should be between 2 m and 4 m (6 ft and 13 ft) apart.
Utility Audio Applications If OW Series speakers are to be employed as utility speakers to provide background music and/or public address announcements they should be mounted above head height and distributed throughout the space appropriately to provide the required level of coverage. In choosing locations for OW Series speakers, consider the “coverage” required with respect to the likely listener positions.
Connecting OW Series speakers are connected to speaker cables via screw terminal blocks located behind their connection panels. The connection panels, supplied separately within the shipping box, incorporate cable entry ducts with sealing glands that can be tightened to restrain the cable and prevent the ingress of moisture and dust. Each terminal blocks carries two pairs of positive and negative terminals.
Strip 5mm of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables and connect them to the appropriate terminals of the male connector body. Insert the male connector body into the female socket block. Re-tighten the retaining screws. Transfer the connection panel along the cable or cables until it is located in position on the rear of the speaker. Take care that the cable or cables are dressed neatly behind the connection panel and not stressed.
Before using your OW Series speakers ensure that the rear panel transformer selection switch is set appropriately. The transformer selection switch is illustrated in the following diagram. Use a coin or a flat bladed screwdriver to turn the switch. Inappropriate transformer selection switch settings may cause damage to both speakers and amplifiers.
Note It is good practice to switch off the amplifier when changing transformer selection switch settings. When used with 70/100V line amplification the transformer selection switch must be set to one of the power setting positions. Higher power settings will result in increased speaker volume. Different power settings can be used to set the relative volume level of speakers in a multi-speaker installations.
Mounting Adjustable mounting brackets are supplied with OW Series speakers. Use the brackets to mount the speakers at the required locations as described and illustrated in the following paragraphs and diagrams. Using the supplied 5.5 mm (7/32 in) Allen key fully loosen the clamp bolt and separate the ball and clamp components of the mounting brackets. Secure the mounting bracket clamp components at the required locations using appropriate screw or bolt fittings.
If you have any concerns over the suitability of the structure to which the brackets and speakers are to be attached, or doubt in your ability to fix the brackets securely, you should seek professional advice and help. Note The bracket mounting hardware and structure must be able to support at least 20kg. Screw the bracket ball component into the lower tapped hole on the rear panel of the speaker as far as it will go. Do not over-tighten.
