Introduction

Outdoor universal wall speaker

The WX series are 2-way performance speakers suited for a wide variety of applications,

delivering true to nature, high fidelity reproductions of music and speech.

The outdoor series make the difference through a drain hole which makes sure the

moisture flow out when condensation occurs and a special designed waterproof AWX5™

connector lets you set the power for the speakers in three adjustable steps for 70V/100V

and low impedance applications. The speaker is available in three sizes, 3”, 5 1/4” and 8”.

All speakers are available in black and white, making them blend into every environment,

The enclosure is made of durable weather & UV resistant ABS while the grill and mounting

bracket and grill are made out of powder coated aluminium, making them even more

resistant to extreme weather conditions.

For optimal directional placement, the included mounting bracket allows for horizontal

or vertical mounting as well as focusing of the speaker in the desired direction.

Installing the WXMK2

Mounting the speaker

The loudspeaker can be mounted both horizontally and vertically through the supplied

mounting bracket. For mounting the loudspeaker on the desired mounting location,

the mounting bracket should be removed from the loudspeaker, which is done through

loosening the thumbscrews on either side of the loudspeaker. After this is done, the

bracket can be taken apart from the loudspeaker.

For a stable mounting of the loudspeaker it should always be fastened by two screws.

The position of the mounting holes depends on the mounting orientation, horizontally or

vertically. The fixation points of the bracket should be marked on the desired location

and the bracket can get mounted. The type of used fasteners shall be chosen according

to the most suitable type for the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...).

The bracket dimensions and mounting hole positions are indicated in the below drawing

and table for the various sizes of speakers.

WX502MK2 219 mm 160.4 mm

WX802MK2 358 mm 248 mm

Once the bracket is mounted onto the desired position, the speaker can be re-assembled

to the bracket by inserting and tightening both thumb screws on either side of the speaker.

The speaker can be tilted in various steps of inclination into the desired listening direction.

Connecting the speaker

The WX series loudspeakers are designed for use in 70V and 100V public address

systems. Before connecting the loudspeakers to the system, make sure the amplifier

is switched off.

The power tap selection of the WX outdoor series speakers is made through the orienta-

tion of the waterproof AWX5™ connector on the rear side of the loudspeaker. This allows

connection to the amplifier output using the included connection cable (AWC07) with a

length of 0.7 meter. The blue conductor shall always be connected to the COM terminal of

the amplifier output and red conductor shall always be connected to the positive terminal

of the amplifier output. Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.

The power tap selection is made by adjusting the rotation angle of the waterproof con-

nector. A dot on the connector indicates the direction of the connector and the various

power tappings are indicated on a label attached to the speaker and in the image below.

After the connector is correctly plugged into the socket, make sure the screw nut is well

tightened to guarantee the IP55 waterproof performance of the loudspeaker.

When mounting the speaker to any wall or ceiling, make sure the mounting surface can

structurally support the weight of the speaker and the appropriate fasteners are used

depending of the mounting surface. (brick, wood, concrete, ...)

ATTENTION (ONLY FOR WX802/Ox)

To make sure that no rain or other liquids can enter the loudspeaker when mounted

outside, a special construction is provided at the inner side of the bass port. This

construction is only functional when the loudspeaker is mounted in the correct position.

The loudspeaker must be mounted according to the woofer orientation as shown below.

When mounting upright, the tweeter shall be on top of the woofer, when mounted

sideways the tweeter shall be on the right side of the woofer.
