cases, some modifications to the mounting may be necessary and are not OSD’s responsibility.
For this warranty to apply, the unit must be installed and used according to its written instructions.
If necessary, repairs must be performed by OSD. The unit must be returned to OSD at the owner's
expense and with prior written permission. Accidental damage and shipping damage are not
considered defects, nor is damaged resulting from abuse or from servicing performed by an

or serviced under existing OSD warranty policy. Any sale of product by an unauthorized source or
other manner not authorized by OSD shall void the warranty on the applicable product.
Damage to or destruction of components due to application of excessive power voids the warranty on
those parts. In these cases, repairs will be made on the basis of the retail value of the parts and labor. To
return for repairs, you must email customer service at [email protected] for a Returned Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) number# then the unit must be shipped to OSD at the owner's expense, along with
a note explaining the nature of service required. Be sure to pack the speaker(s) in a corrugated container
with at least 3 inches of resilient material to protect the unit from damage in transit.
This Warranty Does Not Cover:
Damage caused by abuse, accident, misuse, negligence, or improper operation (installation) • Any
products that have been altered or modified • Any product whose identifying number of decal,
serial #, etc. has been altered, defaced or removed • Normal wear and maintenance.
Step 1
Evaluate the location of the speakers.
Project the length of speaker wire you
will run.
Note: when purchasing additional direct
burial speaker wire, make sure the wire
gauge is consistent.
Omni speakers reproduce sound in a full
360 degree and a few speakers will cover
a large area with sound if properly placed
Step 2
Once you have decided on the locations
for your in ground speakers, dig a trench
about 5” leading from the speakers to the
input source for the speaker cables.
For the OS850 omni speaker, dig a trench
hole approximately 16” in diameter and
10” deep for the speaker enclosure.
Step 3
Place the omni speaker in the hole you
have dugged. Run the direct burial wire
through the trench to the location of the
amplifier or receiver.
Please note: When connecting the
additional wire be sure to use water tight
wire connectors.
Step 4
Connect the wires from the omni
speakers to the amplifier or receiver.
Please make sure the polarity on the
cables and the speakers are in sync.
Optional: Using an outdoor volume
control makes it convienet for you to
adjust the volume outside.
Step 6
Turn on your amplifier or receiver to test
the speakers. If the speakers sound fine,
refill the wire trench and cover the
submerged part of the speaker.
