LU43PB/W - LU53PB/W INSTALLATION/OWNER’S MANUAL Indoor/Outdoor 3-Way Dynamic Loudspeakers ®
® LU43P-LU53P INTRODUCTION Introduction Introduction The DUAL outdoor speaker series is designed as a multipurpose speaker and will deliver accurate high fidelity sound in exterior or interior environments. Weather-resistant design and construction provide optimum durability for permanent or temporary outdoor use. Both models are available in black or white. For simplicity, we will call your AV receiver or amplifier the “receiver.
® LU43P-LU53P PLACEMENT Speaker Placement Mounting Placement If mounting is desired, mounting both speakers on a common solid surface facing the listening area will provide the best audio results. Do NOT mount speakers on wall surfaces that have hazards concealed behind them, such as electrical wires or plumbing. Always mount speaker on surfaces that are sturdy enough to support the speakers’ weight, and make sure they cannot fall or cause injury.
® LU43P-LU53P INSTALLATION Placement & Mounting Speakers Outdoor Placement The DUAL LU43 and LU53 have been tested for environmental usage and are weather resistant, but not waterproof. Occasional moisture will not affect performance. The speakers should be allowed to ventilate and dry after water exposure. The speakers can be placed permanently outdoors for yearround enjoyment. To maximize speaker life, position in areas protected from the elements, such as the underside of eaves and overhangs.
® LU43P-LU53P CONNECTION Connecting Speakers Connecting Your Speakers Speaker Wire -Typical speaker wire has a pair of separate speaker wires with insulating jackets that are molded together. Dual recommends the use of two conductor 18gauge speaker wire to connect your speakers to your receiver. Measure enough wire to reach from your receiver to each speaker plus additional length to allow moving the speakers or receiver without having to disconnect the wires.
® LU43P-LU53P CONNECTION & TROUBLESHOOTING Connecting Speakers Your Speakers The speaker wire must be securely connected and tightened properly to the speaker inputs. Do not over-tighten. Do not allow the positive and negative speaker wire from the receiver to make contact, as this will cause a short. Banana style connectors may also be used on the LU53. The connection is made by connecting the speaker wire to the banana plugs, and then inserting the banana plug into the top portion of the binding posts.
