Water Resistant 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System

Thank you for purchasing the RCA Water
Resistant 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speaker
System. It has water-resistant enclosures to
protect it from the elements when it is
mounted outside. The speaker’s acoustic
suspension enclosure holds a 3-inch
polypropylene woofer to provide deep bass
in a small package, along with a 1-inch
ferrofluid cooled tweeter for smooth
separation of high and low frequencies. It is
also ideal for use as a front or rear speaker
in a home theater system.

Speaker Placement

Caution: Your speaker is weather resistant.
Do not mount it in a location where water
might collect in the terminals.

Your speaker’s very broad dispersion
pattern means you get good sound quality
over a very large listening area. If you
position the speaker to provide coverage of
too large an area, “hot spots” of loud sound
might occur near the speaker. To avoid
“hot-spots”, use one set of speakers for
every 200–400 square feet of listening area.

The supplied wall and ceiling mounting
brackets and the unique wedge-shaped
design let you mount the speaker in corners
or under eaves to minimize its exposure to
rain and snow. You can place the speaker
near a corner or an eave for more bass
output.

Connections

For the best performance, it is essential that
you keep the speaker in the proper phase
(connect + to + and – to –). We
recommend using color-coded or marked
wires to help you correctly connect the
speaker to your sound system.
