5.2 Connection Steps

  1. Positioning: Place the rock speakers in your desired outdoor location. Consider sound dispersion and aesthetic blending with the environment.
  2. Wiring: Connect the positive (+) terminal of each speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the corresponding channel on your amplifier/receiver. Connect the negative (-) terminal of each speaker to the negative (-) terminal of the corresponding channel. Ensure polarity is consistent for optimal sound.
  3. Burying Wires (Optional but Recommended): For a clean and safe installation, you can safely bury the speaker wires. The speakers feature a 25cm hidden wire for this purpose. Ensure the wires are buried at a sufficient depth to prevent accidental damage. Use outdoor-rated, waterproof wire connectors if extending the speaker wire.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your STUDIOFINIX Outdoor Rock Speakers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
