Russound Acclaim OutBack Rock Speaker Installation Manual
INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Thank you for selecting Russound Acclaim 5 Series Outdoor Rock Speakers.
Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability
and will provide years of musical enjoyment.
These Rock Speakers are designed to look like natural outcroppings of rock
instead of bulky aluminum and plastic speakers that detract from nature’s
beauty. Russound Rock Speakers are a distinctive addition to your yard
and blend into any landscape for a convenient and practical outdoor audio
solution.
The realistic rock speakers are o ered in three styles to match your landscape:
Gray Granite, Gray Cobblestone and Sandstone. These shapes and nishes
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 berglass and resin construction results
in an acoustically better speaker with low resonance for better sound. The
process also creates an environmentally 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 enclosure 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.’
Each speaker has an 8” coaxial two-way or single-point stereo driver with a
polypropylene cone and fully painted aluminum grille.
With 10 – 125 watt power handling, Russound Rock Speakers t any outdoor
speaker necessities, for monaural or stereo applications.
Ampli er Considerations
The Rock Speakers should be powered by an ampli er that provides a
minimum of 10 watts per channel. An ampli er that has both stereo and mono
capability is a plus, as you may want to use mono for large areas.
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.
