INTRODUCTION The RS5 series of weatherproof rock loudspeakers are designed to provide unparalleled listening satisfaction and GeoRealistic™ styling. The extraordinary sonic performance of the RS5 was achieved by harmonizing Niles' unique and proprietary technology with advances in cabinet assembly techniques. They are designed and built to w[...]

FEA TURES & BENEFITS GeoRealistic™ Styling Traditionally, rock speakers have looked like ornaments and not like rocks. Each RS5 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. All of this extra attention to detail leads[...]

Precision Crossover A customized electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the music to the woofer and the tweeter. The three-pole two-way design of the RS5 crossover provides excellent stereo imaging, low distortion and superior sonic performance. ConeForward™ Design Most competitive rock speaker manufacturers mount th[...]

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 or shovel • Tube of silicon sealant (optional) • Cable (length and type determined by installation site – see “ Choosing the Speaker Cable” [...]

Figure 1 shows how this would work for a square area of 28 feet by 20 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 2 shows the same area as Figure 1 , however the number of speakers has increased by 2. You can see a [...]

Figure 3 shows the difference in coverage area using the spacing rules for mono signals. Using the same four speakers as we did in Figure 1, we can increase our coverage area from 560 square feet (52 sq. meters) to 960 square feet (88.3 sq. meters), simply by using a mono source. The trade off in sound quality between mono sources and stereo source[...]

• You will need 2-conductor speaker cable that clearly identifies each conductor in the cable. If burying your cable in the ground is required, use cable rated for direct burial or run cable through PVC pipe. Always use moisture resistant cable. • After calculating the length of cable needed for each speaker, use the furthest length cable to de[...]

Volume controls provide flexibility and customization to make the system reliable and easy to use. Consult your local Niles’ dealer for more information about using volume controls. Recommended Amplifier Power We recommend an amplifier with a power rating of ten to one hundred watts per channel for optimum performance. Outdoor speakers typically [...]

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.[...]

4. Connect one stripped end of the speaker cable coming from the amplifier to the RS5 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. The material inside the wire nut will protect the stripped ends of the wire. However, if added protection is des[...]

1. Point the speakers at each other, rather than at the area you want to cover. 2. Play some music with the amplifier or receiver set to Mono. 3. Stand so you are the same distance from each speaker and listen to the richness of the bass and the loudness of the sound. 4. Turn off the amplifier and reverse the connections on one speaker only. 5. Rep[...]

Installing the Security Bracket and Cable 1. With the loudspeaker in the proper location per the layout, 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. Using the middle of the cable, feed it through the Security Att[...]

4. Pull the ends of the security cable with the loops as tight as you can until the knot around the security eyelet is tightened as shown in Figure 11 . 5. Feed the Security Stake through the loops at the end of the security cable and insure that they are inserted into the cable holder provided at the top of the stake, as shown in Figure 12 . 6. Pi[...]

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. Upgraded Security Attachment Method (Optional) To perform this attachment method you will need the following items: 1. (1) Stainless Steel Eyebolt 2. (1) Concrete Anchor sized to the Stainless Steel Eyebolt 3. (1) B[...]

8. Loop this end of the aircraft cable around the eyelet and back to the aircraft cable. Secure this end of the cable to the main aircraft cable with the wire rope clamp. The upgraded attachment should now look like Figure 14 . Final Adjustments Now that the loudspeaker’s phase, operation and security is assured, there are some final steps to ens[...]

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. In addition, you are frequently further away from the loudspeaker. It i[...]
