Dual LU43PW Indoor/Outdoor Speakers

Product Description(from the Manufacturer)

The DUAL LU43 is small in size, but big on sound. This 3-way multi-purpose speaker is designed to deliver accurate high-fidelity sound regardless of placement. The weather-resistant design makes the LU43 ideal for permanent or temporary outdoor use. Included with the LU43 feature set is an adjustable logo for vertical or horizontal mounting options. The LU43 is at home just about anywhere including areas ranging from back yards, patios and pool / spa settings.

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.

Speaker Placement
Your speakers can be placed in many convenient locations in your home or patio area - as stereo pairs on either side of your receiver - as surround speakers in home theater surround sound systems - in your computer room to enhance the multimedia experience - or as remote speakers.

Wall and Ceiling Placement
For wall and ceiling applications, DUAL mounting brackets are included. In addition, the LU43 has a rear inset keyhole for surface hanging, and the larger LU53 has two 1/4-20 brass inserts incorporated into the rear of the enclosure if aftermarket mounting systems will be used.

Experiment for Better Sound
You should experiment with various placements. Room acoustics can produce large apparent differences in the sound when small changes in the placement are employed. For example, although the speaker may be located at any height above the floor, directing the tweeter toward ear level (32" – 36") or angling the entire speaker toward the listening position often provides the most realistic imaging experience. The amount of bass perceived increases as you move a speaker closer to solid intersecting room surfaces (walls, ceiling, floor).

Placement & Mounting Speakers
Outdoor Placement
The DUAL LU43 has 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. Popular locations include decks, gazebos, porches, atriums, garages, and covered spa areas. For temporary placement, remove the speaker from the mounting brackets and replace the thumb screws to maintain stability if placing the speakers on end.

The LU43 speakers have a DUAL logo that can be rotated. The logo is located on the face of the grille in the event a vertical installation is needed. The logo is spring loaded. Use gentle force when adjusting the logo to a new orientation. To rotate the logo, elevate two ends of the logo equally by placing your nail under and lifting lightly. While the logo is elevated, turn the logo to the desired orientation and release.

Mounting Your Speakers
For ease of installation, the DUAL LU43 include an easily removable mounting bracket. Once mounted, the bracket allows the speaker to be pivoted to its ideal location. The included thumb screws knobs will hold the selected speaker position when properly tightened. Avoid over tightening the knob. Before attempting the installation, carefully evaluate the mounting surface, making sure that its composition and construction are strong enough to support the load safely. If you are unsure about the type of mounting hardware for your installation, consult a professional contractor or a knowledgeable hardware store. The anchors and screws to attach the speakers are not included and must be purchased separately. The hardened steel brackets are suitable only for attaching the speaker to walls or ceilings constructed of solid wood, brickwork, concrete, hollow buildings block or wood studs.

Do not mount the bracket to non-reinforced plaster sheetrock (gypsum board). Once the bracket is secure, reattach the speaker using the thumb screws included.
