Overview

Introduction

Russound introduces a unique line of outdoor

speakers. These Rock Speakers are designed

to look like natural outcroppings of rock

instead of bulky aluminum and plastic speak-

ers that detract from nature’s beauty.

Russound Rock Speakers are a distinctive

addition to your yard and blend into any land-

scape for a convenient and practical outdoor

audio solution.

The realistic rock speakers are offered in three

styles to match your landscape: Gray Granite,

Fieldstone and White Sandstone. These shapes

and finishes closely mimic rocks found in

nature for a quality, believable look.

The secret to the realistic look of the rock

speakers is in the way they are crafted. The

cast enclosure process produces more lifelike

shapes and surfaces. This process is more

expensive, but the three-layer fiberglass and

resin construction results in an acoustically

better speaker with low resonance for better

sound. The process also creates an environ-

mentally stable and durable speaker housing.

The resulting Rock Speaker has a sturdy,

waterproof cabinet tough enough for use in all

types of weather and environments. The enclo-

sure is silicone sealed and equipped with a

water drain for the speaker opening.

For added convenience an attached security

eyelet is provided to prevent the speaker from

getting ‘carried away.’ Also included are sili-

cone-impregnated wire nuts for weathertight

electrical terminations.

Each speaker has a 6.5” coaxial two-way driv-

er with a polypropylene cone and fully painted

aluminum grille.

With 10 – 100 watt power handling, Russound

Rock Speakers fit any outdoor speaker neces-

sities, for monaural or stereo applications.

Speaker Placement

An important factor for speaker placement is

the location elevation. Select a spot wires can

be run to from the audio system. The speak-

ers should face the listening area and be

spaced for best sound coverage for the area.

The realistic rock shape and finish will blend in

best if placed in a manner that mimics nature,

such as near a rock wall or amidst ground

plantings. Be sure to avoid placing the speaker

in low spots that collect water.

Elevation and Slope

Speakers should be placed on the same level

for balanced sound delivery. Speakers on dif-

ferent elevations will have different sound char-

acteristics. The acoustic design is optimized

to provide the best sound when placed on

level ground at the same elevation as the lis-

tening area. Placing the speaker on higher ele-

vations or tilting it upwards will provide less

than optimal sound. Speakers should be

placed for best sound delivery with the base of

the speaker as level as possible. Never lean a

speaker back to aim the sound up as this

could allow it to retain water.

Amplifier Considerations

The Rock Speakers should be powered by an

amplifier that provides a minimum of 10 watts

per channel. An amplifier that has both stereo

and mono capability is a plus, as you may

want to use mono for large areas.

Number of Speaker Pairs

First, determine the size of the listening area,

and identify any gathering areas where folks

will sit or stand. The typical coverage area is

20 feet from the front of the speaker for nor-

mal listening levels. There should be a maxi-

mum of 20 feet between speakers for better

stereo imaging. Too far away from each other

creates an acoustic void when used for

stereo. Monaural will not be affected to the

same degree.

Use as many pairs of speakers as needed to

achieve the desired coverage and dispersion

of sound. Getting more sound with more

speakers is better than cranking the volume,

which may lead to amp clipping. Large areas

are better served by monaural audio instead

of stereo. In most outdoor environments,

there is no ideal listening area to give stereo

image or separation.

Tools Needed for Installation

• Wire strippers

• Hacksaw or pipe cutter

• Spade or trench tool

• Direct burial rated speaker cable

(Polarity indication should be on the cable)

16AWG minimum - for distances up to 75ft.

14AWG - from 75 to 125 feet

12AWG - from 125 to 175 feet

• PVC conduit, cleaner and cement (optional)

• Silicone caulking

Planning Path for Cable Burial

First, consult your local phone and/or electric

company to learn of existing buried cables or

pipes. Watch for buried water lines or gas

lines. If necessary, use a metal detector to

discover buried cables. Be aware of any local

building code requirements that may be appli-

cable.

Trenching and Burying Cable

To ensure proper installation of direct burial

speaker cable, consult the manufacturer of

the cable you are using, and adhere to all

applicable electrical codes.

After positioning the speakers and determin-

ing where any buried obstructions exist, you

can dig the trench. Lay the cable out on top

of the ground from the speaker to the outdoor

volume control to determine length.

Make cable connections at the speaker. Be

sure to observe polarity. Make connections at

the amplifier, and test the system to see if

everything is working properly.

Trench below the frost line for the cable. The

frost line will vary depending on geography,

and is typically no deeper than three feet.

If using conduit, size and cut it to length.

Connect the conduit lengths and elbows with

PVC cement. Ensure all electrical connections

are watertight; seal with additional silicone if

necessary. Run cable through the conduit.

Bury the cable or conduit in the trench, and

leave an extra 3 feet of cable under the

speaker to allow for future adjustments in

position.

Seal the cable paths through structure walls

with silicone.
