SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES 

Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these 
safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. 

 

These speakers are weatherproof with an IPx4 Ingress Protection rating, which 
means that they can withstand dripping or splashing water for 10 minutes. 

 

Although they are protected against splashing water for a short period of time, 
these speakers should be installed in a covered location. Additionally, they should 
not be allowed to sit in standing water. 

 

These speakers are only weatherproof when mounted in a vertical orientation, with 
the tweeter at the top, or horizontally with the tweeter on the left. 

 

The speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers are weather resistant, not 
weather proof. Take care to avoid exposing them to water. 

 

Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired 
connections. Only apply power after all connections have been made. 

 

Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker 
polarity is properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short 
the connections, either on the back of the speakers or the AV receiver/amplifier. 

 

Do not use full volume until after the speakers have been fully broken-in. 

 

If you hear distortion reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible. 
Distortion can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion can 
damage or destroy the delicate speaker coils. 

 

Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker 
cabinets. 

 

Do not use excessive volume when listening to this speaker system. If you 
experience pain, discomfort, or dizziness, reduce volume immediately. Prolonged 
exposure to excessive volume can cause permanent hearing damage. 

 

Do not disassemble or attempt to service these speakers. 

 

If installing speaker wire inside or through walls, you must use in-wall rated speaker 
wire.
