5. Configurazione e installazione

5.1 Scelta di una posizione

Select a suitable outdoor location that provides the desired sound coverage. Consider mounting the speaker under eaves, on a patio, or in another sheltered area to protect it from direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather, which can extend its lifespan.

5.2 Montaggio dell'altoparlante

  1. Position the horizontal-swivel mounting bracket against the desired mounting surface (wall, ceiling, etc.).
  2. Mark the screw holes through the bracket onto the surface.
  3. Drill pilot holes if necessary, appropriate for the mounting hardware.
  4. Secure the bracket firmly to the surface using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the bracket is stable and can support the speaker's weight.
  5. Attach the speaker to the mounted bracket. The swivel mechanism allows for adjustment of the speaker's angle horizontally. Tighten the adjustment knob once the desired angle is achieved.

6. Cablaggio e connessione

The Speco SP4AWET speaker is designed for flexible wiring options, supporting both 70V/100V constant voltage systems and standard 8-ohm low-impedance connections. Always ensure the amplifier sia spento prima di effettuare qualsiasi connessione.

6.1 70V/100V Constant Voltage System Connection

For installations requiring multiple speakers over long distances, connect the speaker to a 70V or 100V amplifier output. The integrated transformer allows you to select different power taps (e.g., 5W, 10W, 20W) to control the speaker's volume output. Refer to the speaker's wiring terminals for specific tap settings.

  • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the corresponding 70V/100V output terminal on your amppiù vivace.
  • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the speaker to the common (COM) terminal on your amppiù vivace.
  • Ensure the correct power tap is selected on the speaker for your system's requirements.

6.2 8-Ohm Low-Impedance Connection

If connecting to a standard low-impedance amplifier (e.g., home stereo receiver), you can bypass the internal transformer to operate the speaker at 8 ohms. This typically involves connecting directly to the speaker's driver terminals, bypassing the transformer's input. Consult the speaker's internal wiring diagram or a qualified technician for instructions on bypassing the transformer.

  • Carefully open the speaker enclosure to access the internal wiring.
  • Locate the transformer and its connections to the speaker driver.
  • Disconnect the speaker driver from the transformer and connect it directly to the external input terminals, ensuring an 8-ohm impedance path.
  • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive (+) 8-ohm output terminal on your amppiù vivace.
  • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the speaker to the negative (-) 8-ohm output terminal on your amppiù vivace.

Nota sulla connettività: This is a passive speaker. The 'Bluetooth' and 'Touch Control' mentioned in some product descriptions refer to the capabilities of compatible source devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) or the amplifier connected to this speaker, not features of the speaker itself. The speaker receives its audio signal via wired connections from an amppiù vivace.

7. Funzionamento

Once the speaker is correctly installed and wired to an appropriate amplifier, operation is straightforward:

  1. Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano sicuri.
  2. Accendi il tuo amplifier o sistema audio.
  3. Select your desired audio source (e.g., MP3 player, smartphone, television).
  4. Regola il volume del tuo amplifier ad un livello di ascolto confortevole.
  5. If using a 70V/100V system, ensure the power tap setting on the speaker is appropriate for the desired volume and system load.

8. Manutenzione

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Speco SP4AWET speaker, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Pulizia: Pulisci l'esterno dell'altoparlante con un panno morbido eamp panno. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi, poiché possono danneggiare la finitura.
  • Ispezione: Periodically check the mounting bracket and connections for any signs of loosening or corrosion. Tighten screws as needed.
  • Protezione dalle intemperie: While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., direct heavy rain, snow, intense sunlight) can affect the speaker's lifespan. Consider additional protective measures or repositioning if possible.
  • Evitare ostacoli: Ensure the speaker grille is free from debris, leaves, or insect nests that could impede sound output.
