Introduction Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the AcousticDesign AD-S52 multi-use, weather resistant loudspeakers. These products represent the state-of-the-art in all-weather, lightweight SR (sound reinforcement) loudspeaker systems. To get the most from your investment, we encourage you to review this manual carefully. The AD-S52 loudspeaker systems are full range, high output, two-way designs delivering superior sound quality and high SPL in a lightweight, weather resistant enclosure.
Mounting (continued) Ball Mount Adapter The included ball mount adapter can be attached to almost any flat surface. The ball mount adapter’s back plate can be removed, if desired. This will reduce the overall depth of the assembly and the footprint of the mount on the wall. To use the wall mount adapter, secure to the mounting surface using four screws. Ensure the mounting surface is sufficiently strong to support the loudspeaker and any vibration or seismic activity.
Wiring Connect the amplifier’s + and - outputs directly to the loudspeaker’s + (red) and - (black) terminals. The binding post terminals accept wire, spade terminals, or banana plugs. Use only wire connections when using the Input Cover. The terminals are spaced 0.75” (19 mm). AMPLIFIER Maintain proper speaker and amplifier connection polarity throughout the entire system. All positive-marked loudspeaker terminals should be connected to positive-marked amplifier output terminals.
