Installation Instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing
your Rockustics Rock Series speaker. If you have any ques-
tions regarding installtion that are not answered in the following
directions, please contact your local sound contractor or the
Rockustics Service Department. Contact information can be
found below.
Warning: Rockustic Speakers may be heavy, please use
caution when lifting or handling.
Our manufacturing process leaves an excess of color pigment
on the speaker. This will wash off with the first rain. Pigment
may be removed from skin and clothing with normal washing,
however, care should be taken with clothing.
Optimizing Speaker Placement for Best Sound
All Rockustics speakers can generate a high SPL (sound
pressure level). Please be considerate of your neighbors.
Maximum acoustic performance should be an imporntant
factor in determining speaker placement. Here is how to
acheive it:
1) Establish where the most likely or average listening
position will be.
2) The speakers should be placed at or close to the same
distance from that point.
3) The actual distance between the listening position and
the location of the speakers is not critical. However, keep
in mind that as the distance between listening area and
speaker are increased, there will be a noticeable
decrease in perceived volume.
Optimizing Aesthetics with Speaker Placement
All Rockustics products are designed with a boost in high
frequency response to accomodate for placement behind
plants and other obstructions. Feel free to position the product
within your landscaping, behind bushes or shrubs. Rockustics
products strive to blend into the natural aesthetic of their
surroundings.
Other Placement Considerations
1) When considering speaker placement be sure to account
for the wires which will run from the product to your stereo or
audio source. Be sure to keep in mind that walkways and
patios may be difficult to get around.
2) All Rockustics Rock Series speakers are sealed and fully
weatherproof. However, DO NOT place speakers where the
drivers will be effected by a sprinkler system. Sprinklers
typically have a high water pressure level that can damage
speaker cones if hit directly.
Cautions
These are high quality outdoor speakers. DO NOT place soil
or woodchips over the speaker grille. If the grilles accumulates
a build up of soil, it may damage the speaker. If build up does
occur, simply rinse the grille with a hose set to a low pressure
level.
Accumulated soil may also cause insect traffic into the
speaker. Insects may eat through the speaker surround.
Chemical sprays may also cause damage to the rubber of the
speaker surround. This includes bug spray, deck sealant,
some fertilizers and oil based products. Speakers MUST be
covered when applying these treatments or chemicals in your
yard.
Maintenance
To insure that your Rockustics speaker provides years of
listening enjoyment, we recommend gently rinsing the speaker
grille periodically. Use a low pressure stream of water to
remove any accumulated dirt or debris from the large speaker
grille.
