INTRODUCTION
The Vanguard Dynamics COD Series Outdoor Speakers are all-weather loudspeakers that bring an amazing audio experience outdoors. Enjoy great sound out of a small footprint with drivers tuned to perfection. The COD speakers are available in black or white UV-treated ABS enclosures along with color-matched aluminum grills.
WIRING
1. Attach the speaker cables to the speaker cable terminals on the back of the COD speaker.
2. Connect the speaker cable while ensuring proper polarity with the amplifier, + to + (red) and – to – (black).
3. Also ensure that the right channel of the amplifier is connected to the right speaker and the left channel to the left speaker.
PLACEMENT
Outdoor Installations
1. When mounting the COD speakers outdoors, the eaves of the roof provide an ideal location as they reduce the exposure of constant direct sunlight and precipitation.
2. If installing speakers on a boat, the wheelhouse provides the best location for the same reasons.
Indoor Installations
1. When placing the COD speakers on a wall or bookshelf, we recommend that they are mounted at ear level or slightly higher.
2. The usual listening area should be no closer to the speakers than the distance between the speakers themselves.
MOUNTING
1. The COD speaker is supplied with a U-shaped wall mounting bracket that can be installed vertically or horizontally.
2. Use screws, bolts or anchors (not included) that are capable of supporting the weight of the speaker to mount the bracket.
3. Choose a mounting surface with sufficient strength to reliably hold the speaker. (See Diagram 1 below)
4. Mount U bracket with slots pointing upward if mounting horizontally.
5. Once the bracket is securely fastened, insert knob screws loosely onto the speaker and slide on to bracket. (See Diagram 2 below)
6. Rotate the speaker to desired position and tighten the knob screws.
7. There are two M6 inserts located on the back of the speaker for other types of mounting brackets. (Make sure to select a bracket capable of supporting the weight of the speaker.
