IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT NOTES
Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual
carefully and keep it on hand for future reference.This manual is to be considered
an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it changes
ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety
precautions.
RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and /
or use of this product.
SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special
attention, as they provide important information.
2. Speaker lines (amplier outputs) can have a sufciently high voltage (i.e. 100-
70 V) to involve a risk of electrocution: never install or connect speakers when
the line is alive.
3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the speaker input
voltage is suitable for the amplier output.
4. Protect speaker lines from damage. Make sure they are positioned in a way
that they cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.
5. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may
cause a short circuit.
6. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modications or repairs that are
not expressly described in this manual.
Contact your authorized service centre or qualied personnel should any of the
following occur:
-The speaker does not function (or works in an anomalous way).
-Its cable has been damaged.
-Objects or liquids have got into the unit.
-The speaker has been damaged due to heavy impacts or re.
7. Should the speaker emit any strange odours or smoke, remove it from the line
after having immediately switched the amplier off.
8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.
Do not try to hang this speaker by using elements that are unsuitable or not
specic for this purpose.
Check the suitability of the components used for attachment (i.e. wall plugs,
screws, brackets not supplied by RCF, etc.), which must guarantee the security of
the system / installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical
vibrations normally generated by transducers.

ENGLISH
9. RCF S.P.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional
qualied installers (or specialised rms) who can ensure a correct installation and
certify it according to the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations
regarding electrical systems.
10. Mechanical and electrical factors need to be considered when installing a
professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such
as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).
11. Hearing loss
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic
pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and
depends on the exposure time.
To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure,
anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices.
When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.
See the technical specications in the instruction manual for the maximum sound
pressure of the speaker.
12. To ensure a correct sound reproduction, speaker phase is to be respected
(loudspeakers are connected respecting the amplier polarity). This is important
when speakers are installed adjacent one another,for instance,in the same room.
Make sure speaker lines are not shorted before turning the amplier on.
13. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system
working, speaker lines should not be laid together with other electric cables
(mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplier inputs.
14. The speaker cable shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if
possible, to reduce inductive effects due to surrounding electro-magnetic elds)
and a sufcient electrical insulation. Refer to local regulations, as there may be
additional requirements about cable characteristics.
15. Install this speaker far from any heat source.
16. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for
cleaning the external parts of this product. Use a dry cloth.

RCF S.P.A. THANKS YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT, WHICH
HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GUARANTEE RELIABILITY AND HIGH
PERFORMANCE.
DESCRIPTION AND PLACEMENT
GS 60 is an outdoor speaker suitable
for gardens that includes a 5” coaxial
loudspeaker and an internal transformer
for 100 V / 70 V constant voltage lines.
Take off the GS 60 speaker from the
packaging (which should be kept for a
possible reuse).
Should the speaker be damaged, do
not use it, but contact your authorized
dealer.
GS 60 can be placed on several surfaces,
such as wood, concrete or into the ground.
When choosing a location, keep in mind the following guidelines:
-Choose a flat surface in order to prevent any movement or vibration
during its use.
-Place speakers where their cables could not be trod or pulled.
-Do not place speakers on grounds that could get ponds when it is
raining.
-Do not bury GS 60 speakers deeper than 3” (76 mm).
WARNING: ensure speaker connections are made properly only by qualied
and experienced personnel having the necessary technical know-how or
sufcient specic instructions, in order to prevent any electrical danger.
To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not connect speakers when the
amplier is switched on. Before turning the system on, check all connections
and make sure there are no accidental short circuits. The entire sound system
shall be designed and installed in compliance with the current local laws and
regulations regarding electrical systems.

ENGLISH
The speaker has two wires for connection:
red (+) and black (–).
Connect the amplifier positive output (usually
marked with either ‘+’ or ‘100 V’ / ‘70 V’ or ‘a’)
to the speaker red wire.
Connect the amplifier negative output (usually
marked with either ‘–’ or ‘0’ or ‘COM’ or ‘b’) to
the speaker black wire.
Connections can be protected by soldering the
wires together with heat shrink tubing to seal or
using waterproof connectors.
Depending on the installation type, the direct
burial of the speaker cable may be adequate,
but the use of suitable PVC pipelines is strongly
recommended to protect cables against damage (for instance, due to
excavations in the installation area).
Always use moisture-resistant cables.
If loudspeaker cables may be exposed to salt water or containing
chemicals (e.g. chlorine, fertilizers), it is advisable to use silicone caulking
materials as additional protection for loudspeaker connections.
Set the switch to the proper power value [W] (indicated by
the arrow).
8 Ω = low impedance direct connection (without internal
transformer)
Ø= not allowed (100 V line)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-When set to 8 Ω (loW impedance),
neVeR connect the speakeR to a100 / 70 V line.
-When set to 32 W @ 70 V, neVeR connect the speakeR to
a100 V line.

ENGLISH
-The loudspeaker input voltage (Vd) shall correspond to the amplier
output voltage (Va).
-The sum of nominal power values (Pd x n) of all loudspeakers connected
to the line shall not exceed the amplier power (Pa).
-The total loudspeaker impedance must not be lower than the amplier
output impedance. A loudspeaker total impedance equal to the amplier
output one permits to get the maximum deliverable power (but an higher
loudspeaker impedance entails less power).
-The total loudspeaker power shall be adequate for the maximum
deliverable power of the amplier.
-The loudspeaker line shall be short (for long distances, it may be necessary
to use cables with large cross-section wires).
-Do NOT connect the low impedance input directly to 70 / 100 V constant
voltage lines.

ENGLISH
-Always use cables having wires with an adequate cross-section,
considering the cable length and the total loudspeaker power.
-Loudspeaker lines must be kept separated from mains cable, microphone
cables or others, in order to avoid inductive phenomena may cause hum
or noises.
-Use loudspeaker cables having twisted wires to reduce hum caused by
inductive effects due to coupling with electromagnetic elds.
-Make sure all loudspeakers are connected in phase to ensure a correct
sound reproduction.
