CO N G RA TU LA TI ONS Thank you for choosing a Rock Loudspeaker from Niles. With proper installation and operation, you’ll enjoy years of trouble free use. Niles’ manufacturers the industry’s most complete line of custom installation components and accessories for audio/video systems.
INTRODUCTION The RS8Si series of weatherproof rock loudspeakers are designed to provide unparalleled listening satisfaction and GeoRealistic™ styling. The extraordinary sonic performance of the RS8Si was achieved by harmonizing Niles’ unique and proprietary technology with advances in cabinet assembly techniques.
FEA TURES & BENEFITS Looks Natural, Sounds Great Traditionally, rock speakers have looked like ornaments and not like rocks. Each RS8Si style has unique textures and colors that are fashioned after natural rocks. Shaped grilles match the features on the front of the rock, making them blend into the cabinet.
in the two-speaker stereo mode, it has ultra-wide dispersion. These features improve the high frequency coverage of the loudspeaker and ensure that all the benefits of the 1" Teteron Tweeter are heard and not lost in the surroundings.
INST ALLA TION CONSIDERA TIONS Tools and Materials Required • A wire stripper • 1/2" PVC conduit (optional) • PVC conduit glue and cleaner (optional) • PVC cutting tool • Trench digger .
Figure 1 shows how this would work for a square area of 44 feet by 38 feet and using the RS8Si ’s in the one-speaker stereo mode. The loudspeaker coverage pattern is shown in the diagram. With the loudspeakers wired in the one-speaker stereo mode you can cover large areas with the highest quality stereo imagining available.
Figure 2 shows how this would work for a square area of 35 feet by 28 feet and using stereo signals. Using our spacing rules as shown in Table 1 , leads to the need for four speakers. The loudspeaker coverage pattern is shown in the diagram. Figure 3 shows the same area as Figure 2 , however the number of speakers has increased by 2.
One-speaker Stereo Mode vs. Two-speaker Stereo Mode As can be seen in the coverage examples, the one-speaker stereo mode has the advantage of covering a larger area than the two-speaker stereo mode. The difference in coverage area between the one-speaker stereo mode and the two- speaker stereo mode is significant.
Incorporating a Volume Control It is possible to control the volume of the sound at the speaker location. Volume controls are connected in line with the speaker, an example of wiring an area with 2 speakers and a master volume control is shown in Figures 4a and 4b , 4a is for one-speaker stereo mode and 4b is for two-speaker stereo mode.
Recommended Amplifier Power We recommend an amplifier with a power rating of ten to two hundred watts per channel for optimum performance. Outdoor speakers typically require more power than indoor speakers. The outdoor environment is usually noisier and has less reflective surfaces to make the system sound louder.
INST ALLA TION Run the speaker cable Determine the location of the amplifier that will power the loudspeakers. The amplifier should be located in an area that protects it from the weather. Refer to the amplifier installation instructions to ensure that the amplifier is not located in an area that does not meet its recommended operating environment.
3. Choose the speaker cable that is labeled for the “Right” amplifier channel. Connect one stripped end of the “Right” speaker cable coming from the amplifier to the RS8Si connection cable’s red wire. To connect the two wires, twist the stripped ends of the wire together and screw down the wire nut on the twisted wires.
3. Connect one stripped end of the speaker cable coming from the amplifier to the RS8Si connection cable’s red wire of one cable and the RS8Si connection cable’s yellow wire. To connect the three wires, twist the stripped ends of the wire together and screw down the wire nut on the twisted wires.
are working together and are “in-phase”. Leave the speakers connected to the amplifier in this configuration. If the current sound is not richer in bass or louder than the previous sound, turn off the amplifier and reverse the connections of the wire you moved in step 3.
Installing the Security Bracket and Cable 1. With the loudspeaker in the proper location, turn the loudspeaker over so the bottom of the loudspeaker is facing you, as shown in Figure 7 . 2. Take the nylon security cable, supplied with the loudspeaker and fold it in half.
6. Pick a spot in the ground which the loudspeaker will cover and drive the security stake all the way into the ground until the cable holder is completely under the surface of the ground, as shown in Figure 13 . 7. Pull on the security cable and verify that the stake is securely held in the ground.
6. Loop the end of the aircraft cable around the eyebolt and back to the aircraft cable. Secure this end of the cable to the main aircraft cable with the wire rope clamp. 7. Turn the loudspeaker over and feed the other end of the aircraft cable through the eyelet in the bottom of the loudspeaker.
OPERA TION 18 OPERA TION Listening at Higher Volumes Outdoors there are no walls to reflect and contain the sound and typically the ambient noise level is louder. This causes the system to require more power to achieve a reasonable listening level than it does when you are listening indoors.
SPECIFICA TIONS Recommended Amplifier Power 10 to 200 Watts Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms, in one-speaker stereo mode 4 Ohms, in two-speaker stereo mode Frequency Response 50 Hz to 21 kHz Sensitivity 88 decibels for 2.
