Distributed Audio Placement  
OUT650  
Warning: Never mount the OUT650 speaker with  
the front facing up as water can directly enter the  
cabinet through the port openings.  
Indoor/Outdoor Speakers  
Introduction  
Locate the speakers above the primary listening area  
and angle the tweeter(s) toward the listening area.  
Ideally the speakers are placed about 8-12 feet apart  
on a wall or under a soffit. If there are "hot spots",  
consider adding additional speakers for more uniform  
sound dispersion.  
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing  
Knoll indoor outdoor speakers. These speakers  
were specifically engineered to sound great in the  
rain, snow, desert heat, saltwater or climate  
controlled home. When installed correctly, these  
speakers will give years of enjoyment. To obtain  
the full potential of your new speakers, please  
read all instructions before installing the  
speakers. If you do not have the necessary skills  
to install the speakers yourself, contact your  
authorized Knoll dealer for installation options.  
Surround Speaker Placement  
Your Knoll speakers can be used as surround and front  
speakers in your home theater on the ceiling or wall.  
The proper placement of surround speakers is very  
room dependent. If you are unsure about where to  
locate your surround speakers for best performance,  
contact your Knoll dealer for advice.  
When mounting your surround speakers in the ceiling or  
wall, locate the speakers 2 to 6 feet behind your  
listening position. The speakers should be separated  
anywhere from 6 to 20 feet apart center to center.  
Adjust the level controls on your receiver or processor  
so that all the speakers produce the same SPL reading.

• (2) Knoll indoor outdoor speakers

Wire Sizes  
We always advise using fire-rated speaker wire when  
installing wires inside the wall (check with local  
authorities). As a general rule, the wire cable  
impedance should never be more than 10 percent of  
the speaker impedance. For runs less than 50 feet use  
minimum size 18-gauge wire. For runs 50 to 100 feet  
use minimum size 16-gauge wire. For longer size runs  
use 12 or 14 gauge wire.  
You’ll appreciate Knoll’s speakers as they provide top-  
of-the-line performance and enjoyment value especially  
when installed by skilled professionals. Custom  
installers can help design the system you’ve been  
looking for by coordinating their efforts with  
architects, interior designers, and electricians to  
ensure perfect engineering and performance in your  
home theater.  
In the capable hands of a custom installer, special  
devices like those supplied by Knoll can make the most  
sophisticated audio/video systems easy-to-use.  
In general the larger wire size used will result in  
better sound quality. While using insufficient gauge  
wire may be acceptable to some people, the resulting  
sound will be less dynamic than if better, larger cable  
(smaller gauge numbers) is used.  
Speaker Placement  
The location of the speakers should be determined by  
considering your primary listening location and  
aesthetic values. When mounting outdoors it is always  
best to place the speakers out of direct rainfall and  
sunlight when possible. For best results, contact your  
Authorized Knoll Dealer for advice.  
Mounting using the U bracket (included)  
The OUT650 indoor outdoor speakers are shipped with  
mount brackets that allow vertical or horizontal  
speaker placement. The brackets should be mounted  
using a level to assure correct positioning. After  
screwing the U bracket onto the mount surface, give it  
a good tug to make sure it can more than support the  
weight of the OUT650 speakers.

safety support to the speaker. A low cost secondary
