How to install Electro-Voice 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Surface Mount, Wall Mountable Speaker

To achieve optimal coverage and performance, plan your installation with the listening area in mind. Start by selecting a mounting location that provides even dispersion for the intended audience, avoiding obstructions that could muffle or reflect sound. Ensure a sturdy mounting surface and use appropriate hardware rated for the installation environment. Position the speaker at an appropriate height and angle to maximize intelligibility, particularly for speech-driven applications or announcements. Use weather-protected connections and adhere to local electrical codes when routing cables to protect both people and equipment.

Step 1: Prepare the mounting location. Verify there is clear space for the speaker and that mounting surfaces can support the weight and the required fasteners. If mounting near water or outdoor elements, choose corrosion-resistant brackets and fasteners suitable for exterior use.

Step 2: Attach the mounting hardware to the surface. Secure the wall or ceiling mount bracket (or the chosen surface-mount solution) with appropriate fasteners appropriate for the surface material (wood, masonry, or metal). Tighten all hardware to ensure a stable, vibration-free installation.

Step 3: Connect audio and power wiring. Ensure the amplifier or receiver is powered off before wiring. Run speaker cables from the audio source to the speaker’s input terminals, matching polarity to prevent phase issues. For an 8 Ohm load, confirm your amplifier can drive this impedance and deliver the desired continuous power without distortion.

Step 4: Mount the speaker and adjust coverage. Carefully attach the speaker to the mounted bracket, then adjust the tilt and azimuth to achieve the preferred sound coverage. Lock all adjustment points securely to maintain the intended direction even in outdoor conditions where wind or vibrations may occur.

Step 5: Test, tune, and secure. Power on the system and perform a thorough test with a variety of content—speech, music, and ambient noise. Listen from multiple seating locations to confirm even distribution and intelligibility. If needed, use equalization adjustments on the amplifier to tailor the response to the space, particularly to compensate for outdoor acoustics or reflective surfaces. Finally, check all connections and weatherproof as required for outdoor installations.
