INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Russound Acclaim 5 Series Outdoor Speakers.

Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability

and will provide years of musical enjoyment.

The Acclaim 5 Series line provides solutions for background music and

dedicated music listening. They combine premium acoustic materials with

advanced drivers to deliver exceptional performance in every application.

A key benet to using these speakers is the high-eciency design, which

means less amplication power is needed - less power does not mean quiet!

The speaker comes with two installation options: a free-standing base and

a bracket mount. The base attaches to one end of the speaker and provides

a stable vertical placement option for shelf or table. The bracket mount

accommodates at surface and corner locations, plus the bracket accepts

U-bolts for attaching the speaker to a pole. Once the bracket is installed, the

speaker slips into slots on the bracket so you don’t have to hold the speaker

in place while securing it. The bracket and speaker have knurls for secure

alignment to the desired angle.

Designed and built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, the 5

Series outdoor speakers will provide years of trouble-free service. They work

in a wide range of temperatures and be unaected by extremes of humidity.

A corrosion-resistant aluminum grille and bracket coupled with the speaker’s

rugged environmental design assures durability in any kind of weather. Sealed

enclosure oers greater durability against the environment's rigors.

The bracket has screw slots to accommodate both wall and pole installation

options. The speaker sits in the speaker bracket's "C" openings and is pivoted

into place and secured with the mounting knobs. End caps provide a cosmetic

covering over the bracket's attach points.

An included bookshelf foot option mounts in place of the bracket for an

attractive upright shelf installation for a speaker pair.

SPEAKER ASSEMBLY

Painting the speaker

The speaker mounting bracket, enclosure, end caps, and grille can be

painted. If you paint the speaker, do not get paint on the speaker drivers. Also

be sure to minimize paint buildup so as not to clog the grille holes.

Gently pull o the speaker grille, making sure not to distort it.1.

Mask the speaker terminals and bae (the area on the front of the2.

enclosure that houses the drivers).

Paint the bracket, enclosure, end caps, and grille separately. Spraying is3.

ideal, but if you can’t spray the paint, a roller with a short or medium nap

will work better than a brush. Apply one or two light coats.

While the paint is still wet, clear any clogged holes in the grille with bursts4.

of compressed air.

After the paint has thoroughly dried, remove the masking. Gently press5.

the grille into place on the speaker, using even pressure around the edge.

WIRING INFO

Speaker cable

The amount of wire needed varies with speaker placement. Label speaker

wires with left, right, and location.

Use Russound AW series speaker cable or any reputable brand of 16 to 12

gauge multi-stranded wiring for amplier- to-speaker connections.

Wire is measured in gauges: the greater the number, the smaller the wire. The

gauge of wire needed is determined by the distance between the amplier/

receiver and the speakers. The longer the run, the heavier the gauge needed.

Use the following chart as a guide:

Length Minimum Gauge

0' to 100' 16

50' to 150' 14

100' to 200' 12

The standard colors on the terminals are red Positive (+) and black Negative

(-). If the wire has transparent insulation, one conductor will be copper-colored

(+) and the other silver-colored (-). If the wire has an opaque insulation, the

conductors are dierentiated by a series of ribs or grooves, a stripe, or dotted

line on one conductor. Use and mark these as the Positive (+) conductor.

Prewiring

Run a separate 2-conductor stranded copper speaker cable of at least 16

AWG (1.5 mm) from the amplier to each speaker. Be sure to use cable with the

appropriate re resistance rating for the application.

When running a speaker cable parallel to an AC power cable, keep them at

least 12 inches (30 cm) apart to minimize electromagnetic interference. If the

speaker cables must cross AC wiring, cross them at right angles.

Leave about 2 feet (0.6 m) of cable at each end for connecting to the speakers

and amplier. Label the cables so you will know which cable connects to each

keypad or amplier output channel.

Avoid running speaker wires close to house electrical wiring for any•

distance. If you have to run them parallel, leave two feet between the

wiring. Speaker wires should cross AC lines at a 90° angle.

The entire path between speakers and amplier should be clear and•

unobstructed. Conrm the placement for the wall port close to the

intended location of the amplier or receiver.

Label speaker wires at each end with left and right and location.•

Impedance matching for ampliers and speakers

If you intend to use more than one pair of speakers at a time it’s important

to consider both the impedance of the speakers and the capabilities of the

amplier or receiver. Not all ampliers or receivers can safely operate two sets

of speakers at once.

Russound Acclaim OutBack Loudspeaker Installation Manual

Installing the mounting bracket

The speaker can be installed horizontally or vertically. For a horizontal

installation, install the mounting bracket with its end "C" slots at the top. Also,

when installing the speaker outdoors in the horizontal position, locate the

mounting bracket high enough so the front of the speaker will point down

toward the listening area.

Note: The bracket must be securely attached to the mounting surface. For

an exterior plywood wall with siding, use rust-resistant screws long enough

to penetrate the siding and plywood. For a standard interior hollow wall, we

recommend screwing the bracket to the wall studs whenever possible. If the

speaker must be mounted between studs, use a minimum of two hollow-wall

anchors to secure the bracket. For a masonry wall, use suitable anchors.

Installation on wood

Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the locations of the1.

mounting screws.

Drill pilot holes for the screws.2.

For an exterior wall, apply a ring of caulk or sealant around each hole.3.

Screw the bracket to the wall or other surface.4.

Installation on a hollow wall

1. Once you have determined roughly where to mount the speakers, use

a stud nder to locate the wall studs and mark their location.

2. Using the bracket as a template, mark the mounting screw locations.

3. If you are attaching the bracket to studs, use a small drill to make pilot

holes for the mounting screws. If you are using hollow-wall anchors, use

a drill of the size recommended by the anchor manufacturer.

4. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall studs with the screws provided, or

secure the wall anchors in the wall and attach the bracket to them.

Installation on masonry

1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the locations of the

mounting screws.

2. Use a masonry drill to make pilot holes for the anchors.

3. Insert the suitable masonry anchors into the pilot holes and attach the

mounting bracket with screws.

INSTALLING THE BRACKET ON POLE / SHELF FOOT

Installing the mounting bracket on a pole

The speaker can be installed horizontally or vertically on a pole up to 1"

(2.54 cm) in diameter with two standard 5/16 x 1-3/8 x 1/2" U-bolts with 5/16-

18" threads. For a horizontal installation, install the mounting bracket with

its end "C" slots at the top. Also, when installing the speaker outdoors in the

horizontal position, locate the mounting bracket high enough so the front of

the speaker will point down toward the listening area.

Installation on pole

Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.1.

Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.2.

Installation on in-ground pole

The speaker can be mounted on an in-ground pole with buried cable.

First, consult your local utility companies to learn of existing buried cables,

pipes or lines. Be aware of any local building code requirements that may be

applicable.

1. Drive a 1" (2.54 cm) pipe into the ground at the prequalied location.

Determine the length and location for the cable trench and dig below the

frost line. Use either direct buried speaker cable or cable run through

conduit.

2. Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.

3. Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.

4. Leave about 2 feet of cable at the speaker end for connections and

adjustments.

ATTACH THE SPEAKER

Attaching the speaker to the bracket

Thread the knobs halfway into the ends of the speaker, leaving about ¼1.

inch (6 mm) of their threads exposed.

Slip the knob threads into the "C" slots in the mounting bracket.2.

Rotate the speaker to show the terminals.3.

Connecting the speaker

1. Strip 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) o the end of the cable jacket. Then strip

½ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation o each wire.

2. Twist the wire strands together so there are no strands separated from

the bundle.

3. Connect the wires to the speaker terminals, being sure to observe proper

polarity. For standard speaker cable with red and black wires, connect

the red wire to the red positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the black

negative (–) terminal.

Note: Some speaker cables may have other ways of designating polarity.

Cable with a clear jacket may has a copper-colored wire for positive and a

silver-colored wire for negative. In a cable with white and black wires, the

white is positive and the black is negative. Cable with both wires the same

color may have grooves, ribs, or stripes on the positive wire.

4. Check to make sure there are no stray strands of wire outside the

terminals. If there are, remove the wire, twist the strands together, and

reconnect the wire to the terminal.

Final Assembly

1. Rotate the speaker to the desired angle. If you are installing the speaker

outdoors in the horizontal position, rotate it so the front points down

toward the listening area.

2. Tighten the knobs on both ends.

3. Slip the end caps onto the ends of the speaker, from the rear to the front.
