User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS VOYAGER GRAND

[. . . ] Drawing from over a decade of all-weather speaker expertise, Boston built the Voyager series to minimize exposure of acoustic parts to weather and with materials proven to resist the elements: polypropylene cabinets with UV light and impact resistance, all-aluminum grilles and brackets, gold-plated speaker connectors. All drivers are manufactured from high-tech plastics, rubbers, and other materials that have been extensively tested for durability. Versatile brackets simplify installation in many situations (and the speakers' shape makes corner placement easy). The large, grippy knobs make adjustment to speaker angle easy. [. . . ] Corner placement will give still more bass. Outdoors, placement under the eaves of a roof reduces exposure to constant direct sunlight and precipitation, which will extend the speaker's life. Placement under the eaves or on a wall near the ground will increase bass. In situations where you need to avoid disturbing neighbors, you may wish to install the speakers on a post or railing facing the house and listening area (the sound area will be more contained). Mounting the speakers Before running permanent wires and mounting the speaker, you may wish to test the speaker placement first for coverage and good stereo sound. Use the supplied bracket to mount the speaker vertically or horizontally on walls or other surfaces. The bracket includes keyhole sockets and other holes to suit a variety of hardware. Consult a knowledgeable person about the best hardware to use for your particular wall surface. For mounting, remove the bracket from the speaker. If running wires, you may wish to route the wiring through the bracket's large middle hole; the bracket will cover the hole in the wall. Mount the bracket and attach the speaker. Adjust the speaker to face the listening area. Alternatively, you may use mounting brackets made by other companies. The 1/4­20 threaded inserts for the knob match various brackets and mounting plates. The Grand Voyager includes two more inserts on the rear of the cabinet. Consult your dealer or the bracket manufacturer for more information.

You will need: · A fast drying spray-can primer paint, such as Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318 (www. krylon. com). · Your choice of paint--oil or water-based house paint, or spray paint. · A paper clip or sharp tool (optional--if you want to paint the grilles). · Masking tape and paper for masking. · A clean, dry cloth To paint the cabinet, first prepare the speaker for painting: · Remove the bracket. [. . . ] If that is not possible, write to: Boston Acoustics, Inc. 300 Jubilee Drive Peabody, MA 01960 U. S. A. We will promptly advise you of what action to take. If it is necessary to return your speaker to the factory, please ship it prepaid. [. . . ]
