OSD Audio AP450 - Manual

Thank you for giving OSD AUDIO the chance to earn your business! We are confident you will find that OSD offers an outstanding combination of performance
and value in everything we make. To ensure you get the most out of your new patio speakers, please take a moment to read this manual before you get started.
Installing Speakers
These weather resistant patio speakers are manufactured to resist
a variety of weather condition. The most ideal place to install these
speakers is the undersides of most eaves and overhangs as they
provide the best protection.
Like all speakers, they sound the best when placed no more than
seven feet apart from each other, and slightly higher than ear level.
If the speakers are more than seven feet apart, toe them in toward
the center of the listening area.
These speakers are not waterproof and cannot be submerged under
water.
Placing Speakers
If your application requires the speaker to be mounted, please
follow these directions. Using the hardware supplied, mount the
bracket first. Attach the speakers to the brackets using the large
plastic knobs supplied. Never mount a speaker on a wall made
of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure,
consult a professional contractor. (See Diagram 1)
The binding post speaker terminals on the speakers will accommodate
up to 12-guage wire. When using 70V amplifier output, please select a
power setting through the knob switch. When connecting the speakers,
it is very important to observe the correct polarity. This means that the
wire attached to the (+), red, or positive terminals on one component
must be attached to the (+), red, or positive terminal on the
corresponding component speaker output terminals. Similarly, the (-),
Black, Negative or ground terminals must connect to the respective (-),
Black, Negative, or ground terminals. This is easy to do by locating the
color stripes that appears on most wire.
Painting the grilles
The metal grilles may also be painted. Use very thin paint (5:1). It will
be easier to paint the grilles while it is off the speaker. Avoid
plugging up the holes with excess paint.
Mounting
To install the bracket on the speaker. Screw the bracket knobs into the
cabinet. Point the speaker toward the listening area. Once the direction
of the speaker has been determined tighten the bracket knobs securely.
