Quick Guide from the Manual

The Sonance Patio Series System is designed for outdoor entertainment. This manual provides instructions for installing the satellite speakers and subwoofer, wiring the system, and connecting it to the UA 2-125 Amplifier. Professional installation is recommended. Always consult a qualified structural engineer for elevated or suspended deployments.

Box Contents

• (4) 3.5” Satellite Speakers
• (4) Attached Speaker Stakes with 1/2” NPS Threading
• (1) 8” In-Ground Subwoofer
• (1) UA 2-125 Amplifier

Speaker Layout Planning

For optimal coverage, place satellite speakers 8 to 10 feet (2.4 - 3.1 meters) apart. The subwoofer should be placed near the center of the satellite speakers. Placing the subwoofer near a wall or solid structure can reinforce low bass frequencies.

Installation and Wiring

Recommended Wire: 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire is recommended. Low voltage lighting wire can also be used if run as two pairs (one for each channel).

1. Place the four satellites and one subwoofer in their approximate final locations.
2. Dig a 4” to 5” trench for the speaker wires, checking local codes for limitations.
3. Run the speaker wire from the amplifier to the first speaker location.
4. Use a round cable stripper to expose the 4 individual color-coded wires.
5. Create a 6” loop of wire at each speaker location and secure with a wire tie for strain relief.
6. Strip 3/4 inch of insulation from the wires.
7. Connect wires using the provided silicone-filled wire nuts. Ensure no copper is exposed.
8. Wiring Configuration: Use a parallel/daisy chain configuration. Red (+) and Black (-) are for the Right channel; White (+) and Green (-) are for the Left channel.

Important: Ensure only two satellite speakers are connected to each amplifier channel to avoid an unacceptable load that could damage the amplifier. Do not let stray '+' and '-' strands touch, as this will cause a short-circuit.

Subwoofer Installation

The subwoofer requires a burial space approximately 12” in diameter and 11” deep. Ensure there is roughly 5” of exposed subwoofer enclosure from the ground surface to the bottom edge of the canopy. The subwoofer can be connected at any point in the daisy chain.
