Red 1 Channel Wiring Red White Green Black + + + ­+ + ­ ­ + ­ + + ­ + ­ + Placement Green White The Klipsch All-Weather Rock speaker is perfect for lawns, gardens, Black patios, decks or any other place where exposure Green to the elements makes conventional loudspeaker usage unsuitable. Due to its aesthetic design and up-tilted orientation, this model is designed for low or Black ground level placement. To achieve the best performance from a pair of AWR-650-SMs place them on the same side of your intended listening area and space them 8 to 20 feet apart. For a higher quality stereo image some degree of toe-in, toward the primary listening area, may be required to achieve the desired effect. If a single AWR-650-SM is connected in a two channel configuration it is best to center the speaker on the preferred side for even coverage. Some additional Bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall. Wire Splicing Unless the AWR-650-SM will be connected to an amplifier/receiver directly using the 5' lead, wire splicing to a separate set of high quality, moisture resistant speaker cable will be required. Follow the following steps to connect the AWR-650-SM to an amplifier/receiver as a single channel speaker. 1. Strip away two to three inches of the AWR-650-SM 5' speaker lead outer jacket away from the individual insulated conducts. 2. Strip one half inch from each of the 4 individual conductors. 3. Twist together the stripped ends of the AWR-650-SM BLACK (negative) wire AND the AWR-650-SM GREEN (negative) wire AND the stripped end of the speaker wire connected to the negative output of the desired channel of the amplifier/receiver. 4. Cap the three wire combination with a silicon filled wire nut. The material inside the wire nut will protect the stripped ends of the wire from moisture. If additional protection is desired, additional silicon (sold separately) can be added to the bottom of the wire nut to further seal the connection. 5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the positive connection of the same channel using the AWR-650-SM RED (positive) wire AND the AWR-650-SM WHITE (positive) wire and speaker wire connected to the positive output of the amplifier/receiver. To connect the AWR-650-SM as a dual channel stereo speaker two additional wire nuts will be required (sold separately). Make 4 individual splices, referring to the diagram above, and always double check that the positive leads of the AWR-650-SM are connected to the positive outputs of the amplifier/receiver and the negative leads of the AWR-650-SM are connected to the negative outputs of the amplifier/receiver. Connections Important: Proper connection of your speakers to your amplifier is vital to obtaining good sound quality. Please follow these directions carefully. The AWR-650-SM is provided with a 4-conductor cable to be able to connect either 1 or 2 channels. One input uses RED for positive and GREEN for negative, the other uses WHITE for positive and BLACK for negative. When connecting only 1 channel to the AWR-650-SM the RED and WHITE must be connected together for positive and BLACK and GREEN together for negative. Positive(s) and negative(s) on the speaker must be connected to the positive(s) and negative(s) respectively for your receiver/amplifier for correct phasing. Important: Each channel on the AWR-650-SM has 8 ohm impedance. When joining the inputs for a 1 channel connection as previously described and shown below, the AWR-650-SM becomes a 4 ohm speaker. Make sure your receiver/amplifier can accept a 4 ohm (which most can). WARNING: If channel 1 and 2 are wired out of phase, the woofer will make little to no sound. This can damage the woofer if left wired in this manner. 1 Important: Before burying any portion of the completed speaker assembly, verify the location of gas lines or buried utility cables with your local utility company(s). Important: Before running speaker cable through walls, under patios or walkways, etc., check local building code requirements. If you are not comfortable with any portion of the installation, hire a qualified installer to perform those functions. prepaid insured to the address set forth Klipsch: 137 Heampstead #278 Hope, AR 71801.
