The
AWR-650-SM
can
be
configured
as
a
single
two
channel
speaker
or
used
in
pairs
as
a
single
channel
speaker.
The
AWR-650-SM
is
constructed
of
durable
weather
proof
materials
such
as
a
fiberglass
enclosure
and
powder
coated
aluminum
grilles,
a
polymer
woofer
cone
and
polymer
dome
tweeters.
This
ensures
that
the
speaker
will
look
and
sound
good
for
years
to
come
regardless
of
environmental
extremes.
Thank
you
for
your
purchase
of
this
Klipsch
Rock
Speaker.
The
Klipsch
All-Weather
Rock
speaker
(AWR-650-SM)
is
a
two-way,
dual
channel
design
using
a
single
high
performance
bass
driver
for
the
low
frequencies
and
a
pair
of
Polymer
dome
high
frequency
tweeters
for
wide,
even
coverage.
Please
be
sure
to
fill
out
the
warranty
card
included
with
this
manual
or
online
at
www.klipsch.com
so
we
are
better
able
to
serve
you.
Placement
Connections
If
a
single
AWR-650-SM
is
connected
in
a
two
channel
configuration
it
is
best
to
center
the
speaker
on
the
preferred
side
for
even
coverage.
Some
additional
Bass
will
result
if
you
place
the
speakers
in
a
corner
or
near
a
wall.
To
achieve
the
best
performance
from
a
pair
of
AWR-650-SMs
place
them
on
the
same
side
of
your
intended
listening
area
and
space
them
8
to
20
feet
apart.
For
a
higher
quality
stereo
image
some
degree
of
toe-in,
toward
the
primary
listening
area,
may
be
required
to
achieve
the
desired
effect.
The
Klipsch
All-Weather
Rock
speaker
is
perfect
for
lawns,
gardens,
patios,
decks
or
any
other
place
where
exposure
to
the
elements
makes
conventional
loudspeaker
usage
unsuitable.
Due
to
its
aesthetic
design
and
up-tilted
orientation,
this
model
is
designed
for
low
or
ground
level
placement.
WARNING:
If
channel
1
and
2
are
wired
out
of
phase,
the
woofer
will
make
little
to
no
sound.
This
can
damage
the
woofer
if
left
wired
in
this
manner.
Wire
Splicing
1.
Strip
away
two
to
three
inches
of
the
AWR-650-SM
5'
speaker
lead
outer
jacket
away
from
the
individual
insulated
conducts.
2.
Strip
one
half
inch
from
each
of
the
4
individual
conductors.
3.
Twist
together
the
stripped
ends
of
the
AWR-650-SM
BLACK
(negative)
wire
AND
the
AWR-650-SM
GREEN
(negative)
wire
AND
the
stripped
end
of
the
speaker
wire
connected
to
the
negative
output
of
the
desired
channel
of
the
amplifier/receiver.
4.
Cap
the
three
wire
combination
with
a
silicon
filled
wire
nut.
The
material
inside
the
wire
nut
will
protect
the
stripped
ends
of
the
wire
from
moisture.
If
additional
protection
is
desired,
additional
silicon
(sold
separately)
can
be
added
to
the
bottom
of
the
wire
nut
to
further
seal
the
connection.
5.
Repeat
steps
3&4
for
the
positive
connection
of
the
same
channel
using
the
AWR-650-SM
RED
(positive)
wire
AND
the
AWR-650-SM
WHITE
(positive)
wire
and
speaker
wire
connected
to
the
positive
output
of
the
amplifier/receiver.
Unless
the
AWR-650-SM
will
be
connected
toan
amplifier/receiver
directly
using
the
5'
lead,
wire
splicing
to
a
separate
set
of
high
quality,
moisture
resistant
speaker
cable
will
be
required.
Follow
the
following
steps
to
connect
the
AWR-650-SM
to
an
amplifier/receiver
as
a
single
channel
speaker.
A
To
connect
the
AWR-650-SM
as
a
dual
channel
stereo
speaker
two
additional
wire
nuts
will
be
required
(sold
separately).
Make
4
individual
splices,
referring
to
the
diagram
above,
and
always
double
check
that
the
positive
leads
of
the
AWR-650-SM
are
connected
to
the
positive
outputs
of
the
amplifier/receiver
and
the
negative
leads
of
the
AWR-650-SM
are
connected
to
the
negative
outputs
of
the
amplifier/receiver.
Important:
Proper
connection
of
your
speakers
to
your
amplifier
is
vital
to
obtaining
good
sound
quality.
Please
follow
these
directions
carefully.
Important:
Each
channel
on
the
AWR-650-SM
has
8
ohm
impedance.
When
joining
the
inputs
for
a1
channel
connection
as
previously
described
and
shown
below,
the
AWR-650-SM
becomes
a4
ohm
speaker.
Make
sure
your
receiver/amplifier
can
accept
a4
ohm
(which
most
can).
A
A
The
AWR-650-SM
is
provided
with
a
4-conductor
cable
to
be
able
to
connect
either
1
or
2
channels.
One
input
uses
RED
for
positive
and
GREEN
for
negative,
the
other
uses
WHITE
for
positive
and
BLACK
for
negative.
When
connecting
only
1
channel
to
the
AWR-650-SM
the
RED
and
WHITE
must
be
connected
together
for
positive
and
BLACK
and
GREEN
together
for
negative.
Positive(s)
and
negative(s)
on
the
speaker
must
be
connected
to
the
positive(s)
and
negative(s)
respectively
for
your
receiver/amplifier
for
correct
phasing.
