Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio ®8” pendant speaker.This rugged, all-purpose
speaker is designed to deliver reliable, high-quality audio in commercial and residential
applications, while withstanding outdoor environments. The WP8 features an IP55 weath-
er-resistant ABS construction, 2-way coaxial speaker design.

• Integral 70V/100V transformer with selectable taps and 8 ohm bypass
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation
• Availableinblackorwhitenish
Please read these instructions completely before you begin your installation.
1) Speaker Connection
Remove about 8" of the cable jacket to expose the inner conductors. Strip 1/4" of in-
sulation from each conductor and connect to the speaker terminals. When connect-
ing the wires to the speakers, be sure to observe proper polarity for the best sound.
Most CL2 rated speaker cable will have red and black colored wires inside the
jacket. Connect the red wire to the (+) terminal and the black wire to the (-) terminal.
The red (+) and black (-) speakers wires should correspond to the same terminals
ontheamplier.
NOTE: If this speaker will be used with a 70V/100V distributed audio system, do
not set the 70V/100V tap to the 8 ohm setting. Doing so may damage your speaker
when playing. To use this speaker with a conventional (non-70V/100V) audio sys-
tem, change tap to the 8 ohm setting. If you are unsure what type of audio system
you have, consult a professional installer before continuing.

2) Choose Speaker Location
If you will be installing your speaker outdoors, select a location that is protected from
rain, snow, and out of direct sunlight for extended product life.
CAUTION: Be certain that there are no electrical wires, water pipes, or heating
ducts in the planned installation area before you begin drilling. If there is an electri-
cal outlet nearby, turn off the circuit breaker to avoid possible injury.
NOTE: Your Dayton Audio WP8 speaker is compact, but substantial in weight.
Speaker should be mounted to a solid structure, not drywall. If drywall mounting is
required,usehigh-strengthanchorsdesignedforheavyloadssuchaslightxtures.
To avoid personal injury, please make sure the location you choose for mounting
your speakers can safely support their weight.
