PLANNING THE PROJECT

The subwoofer is the heart of the outdoor system. Place it in a position that is as

near to the center of the listening area as possible. To increase the perceived bass

output, place the subwoofer next to a wall or other resonant/reflective surface.

Satellite

The Terrain system is optimized to cover up to 278.71 sq. m. (3,000 sq. ft.) with 8 satellite

speakers. Place speakers evenly throughout the coverage area.

Place the satellite speakers around the listening area on each side of the

subwoofer, as evenly as you can. Space the satellite speakers 1.8–2.4 m 6–8 feet

(6–8 ft.) apart for best coverage. Arrange the satellite speakers evenly to minimize

the variance of the sound texture.

Satellite Speaker Considerations

• Using more speakers (to a maximum of 8) in an area allows for more even

sound coverage.

• Install speakers at ground level pointing toward the center of the area. This

evens the sound texture and reduces sound escaping to other areas.

• If using a stereo sound system, place left and right speakers evenly to avoid

uneven sound in the area.

• Do not aim speakers higher than 45° from the horizontal. This prevents

water from collecting in the speaker driver. While water does not damage

the speaker, it impedes performance and warps the sound. If water inside a

speaker freezes, it can damage the speaker.

NOTE: An optional pivot bracket is required for horizontal adjustment.

• The speakers will not be damaged by normal rainfall; however, sprinkler

systems may cause damage to the internal audio components. Avoid placing

the speakers within direct sprinkler stream areas.

• Clearance around the speaker is required for mounting, connecting, and

adjusting the angle of the speaker.

• Take care while selecting the mounting area so that the speakers do not

become a trip hazard or an obstacle for landscaping equipment.

Speaker Wire Recommendations

We recommend using high-quality stranded speaker wire. Connect the left and

right wires from the AV receiver or amplifier directly to the corresponding left and

right binding posts on the speaker.

Use burial-rated wire for all installations. For maximum performance:

• For runs up to 30.48 m (100 ft.), use 16 ga wire or better.

• For runs up to 60.96 m (200 ft.), use 14 ga wire or better.

• For runs up to 91.44 m (300 ft.), use 12 ga wire or better.

You can use smaller wire gauges, but performance degrades depending on gauge

and distance. The chart below shows the signal loss that you can expect on a

typical run based on gauge and distance.

NOTE: Following the wiring recommendations for the Terrain system creates a

above outlines the expected impedance per the system configuration.

INSTALLATION

Once you have laid out your plan and marked the positions on the ground, dig the

hole for the subwoofer and set it in place.

Couplers come attached to the satellites. Prior to installing the sattelite onto the

stake, use the provided end cap and place it on top of each stake. Drive the stake

into the ground, removing the end cap once the stake is at the proper depth. Note

that the Quick Connect hole should be to the rear of the intended aim of the speaker.

CAUTION: Do not drive the stake into the ground without using a provided

end cap.

CONNECT

CAUTION: Do connect the speaker wire to the amp until all other

connections except power have been made.

CAUTION: Do not supply power to the amplifier until all other connections

have been made.

NOTE: The silicone-filled weatherized wire nuts included with this kit are

specially designed for direct-burial installations. An equivalent connector must be

used for any wiring in the system that is exposed to water or weather.

1. Twist the the source wires to the speaker head wires, then secure them

using the weatherproof wire nuts. Silicone may squeeze out of the wire nut

during this step; leave this on the wire for the best possible protection.

2. Attach the speaker head to the stake. Ensure that the wires are not crimped,

that the wires exit the speaker assembly below ground level, and that the

coupler locks into place in the stake.

3. Wire each channel from the amplifier through each channel on the subwoofer.

IN/OUT are clearly labeled on the burial sub wire. Up to four satellites can be

wired in parallel off each side of the subwoofer matching +/+ and -/- on all

satellites.

Burial Subwoofer

The subwoofer has four input connections. Using the wire nuts, connect both

left and right channels to the subwoofer, making sure positive and negative

connections are properly made.

Continue down the line and connect the rest of the speakers, then connect the

wires to the amplifier.

Ensure your volume is turned to zero. Connect your music source, power the system,

and test at various volume settings. Once everything is working properly, fill all the

holes and trenches.

Hardscape Subwoofer

Feed the subwoofer wire through the base plate’s wire channel then secure the

base plate to the deck/ground/patio using the four existing holes and provided

mounting hardware.

The Hardscape subwoofer has four input connections. Using the wire nuts, connect

both the left and right channels to the subwoofer, making sure positive and

negative connections are properly made. Place the Hardscape subwoofer over the

base plate and secure it with the four provided screws. Plug all four holes with the

provided rubber plug covers.

Continue down the line and connect the rest of the speakers, then connect the

wires to the amplifier.

Ensure your volume is turned to zero. Connect your music source, power the system,

and test at various volumes. Once everything is working properly, fill all the holes and

trenches.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Episode speakers are designed to function trouble-free. Most problems that occur

are due to simple issues. Refer to the list of fixes below, or contact Tech Support at

866.838.5052 if problems persist.

No Sound

• Verify that there is audio coming from the selected source. Select another

source, if necessary to verify.

• Check the volume levels on the amplifier and source(s).

• Check that the proper source is selected on the amplifier or receiver.

• Check all wiring connecting the source(s) to the amplifier are plugged into the

correct inputs and outputs.

Poor Sound

• Check audio cables if the sound drops out or if static is present.

• Check volume levels on every component in the system and ensure it does

not exceed 80%.
