Niles Audio CORAL RS6 - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Tools and Materials Required
• A wire stripper
• 1/2" PVC conduit (optional)
• PVC conduit glue and cleaner (optional)
• PVC cutting tool
• Trench digger or shovel
• Tube of silicon sealant (optional)
• Cable (length and type determined by installation site – see “ Choosing the
Speaker Cable”)
Selecting the number and location for your speakers
The RS6 loudspeaker can be installed directly on the ground, in a flowerbed, on a
wood deck or on a concrete/stone patio. There are two considerations for placing
the loudspeaker, ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the
loudspeaker. The RS6 loudspeaker will cover an area of a circle with a 20-foot
diameter, in front of the speakers.
If you are using stereo outputs from the amplifier, alternate the speakers to provide
the best imaging. You should place speakers less than 10 feet from the sides of the
listening area and 15 feet from each other. The row spacing should not be greater
than 25 feet. These loudspeaker spacing rules are the recommended maximums;
placing speakers at a greater distance apart will negatively affect sound coverage
and reduce their stereo effect. Placing speakers closer together will improve sound
coverage and produce more stereo coverage.
