MartinLogan Outdoor Living Series

Satellite Speakers

The MartinLogan Outdoor Living Series satellite speakers are

premium sounding all-season outdoor speakers that are ideal

for backyards ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 sq. feet.

OUTDOOR SAT 40 and OUTDOOR SAT 60 are sold individually

and can be ordered in accordance with the area to be covered.

Made of durable UV treated ABS plastic, MartinLogan

Outdoor Living Series speakers can endure the elements

while providing years of trouble free service.

While installation is relatively easy, MartinLogan’s Outdoor

Living Series products are designed to be installed by your

authorized MartinLogan dealer.

WARNING!

• ACCOUNT FOR POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL,

GAS, BURIED CABLES, PLUMBING OR

OTHER OBSTACLES BEFORE INSTALLING

GROUND STAKES.

• MANY LOCALITIES FORBID DIGGING

WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION.

CONTACT LOCAL AUTHORITIES

BEFORE INSTALLATION.

• READ AND FOLLOW all instructions

before beginning installation.

The MartinLogan OUTDOOR SAT 40 and OUTDOOR SAT

60 are passive speakers. These speakers are optimized

for use with the Crown CDi 1000 amplifier which can be

programmed with customized DSP settings for a variety of

different speaker/subwoofer installation scenarios. See ‘Audio

Settings Chart’ on page 15.

8 ohm amplifiers can also be used with the MartinLogan

Outdoor Living system, however, they will not be able to run the

proprietary MartinLogan DSP presets available for the Crown

Amplifier. If you use the speakers and subwoofer with an 8

ohm amplifier, we recommend the following:

Satellite Speakers: Wire only one speaker per amplifier

channel and set the tap on each speaker to the 8 ohm setting.

Note: Do not wire more than one satellite per amplifier channel

in 8 ohm mode.

Subwoofer: Wire only one subwoofer per amplifier channel.

We strongly recommend using burial-rated cable (not

included) when installing any of the Outdoor Living Series

Satellite Speakers. In addition, it’s critical to use the proper

speaker cable gauge. Please review the chart below.

We do not recommend use of smaller cable gauges, as

performance will be compromised.

There a few considerations before you start digging a trench:

• Ensure that ALL Speakers are tested prior to installation.

• Ensure that the proposed area is easily accessed and that

the area is not prone to flooding, standing water or where

the speakers can be easily damaged, kicked or struck.

• Consider overall landscape/garden design and positioning

in relation to listening area

Following the same instructions outlined for the Ground Stake

or Surface Mount Bracket accessory. The Outdoor Living

Series Inground Conduit Box can be substituted. Knock out

holes in the Inground Conduit Box as needed. Conduit is sold

separately.

Included:

• (1) Inground Conduit Box

• (1) Two Piece Mounting Post

• (8) Stainless Steel Screws

• (4) Ground Stakes

Recommended Tools:

• Drill

• PVC Glue – for PVC conduit or fittings

• Silicone Caulk

• Shovel

• Hammer

• #2 Phillips Screwdriver

• Wrench

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT! Test your system before

gluing or caulking any part of the

Inground Conduit Box or any conduit

piping connections. Use silicone caulk to seal any

openings used for cable. Allow caulk and glue

to dry completely before burying the Inground

Conduit Box.

OPTION 1: PVC Conduit Installation – Knock out the

conduit openings to be used. Glue the conduit piping to the

Inground Conduit Box.* Draw the cable through the conduit

and pull at least 8 inches of cable into the box cavity.

Note: The Inground Conduit Box openings are 3/4” in

diameter. Other conduit piping sizes may be used with

OPTIONAL INGROUND CONDUIT BOX

OPTIONAL INGROUND CONDUIT BOX

TEST SYSTEM

OPTION 2: Burial Cable Installation – Drill a hole into

the center of the knock out slightly larger than the cable. Route

the cable through and pull at least 8 inches of cable into

the box cavity. Seal the entrance completely with silicone.*

Place the Inground Conduit Boxes in their appropriate trench

location, ensuring a minimum depth of 6 inches.

3. Install the satellite speaker to the Inground Conduit Box

lid, using the two piece post. Use silicone in the threads

to enhance sealing of the Inground Conduit Box against

moisture.*

4. Use the silicone-filled wire connectors included with the

speaker to terminate the wiring connections. Turn the

silicone-filled wire connectors clockwise by hand until they

are tight.

5. The box may now be closed. A weatherproof gasket is

attached to the cover, but for additional water intrusion

protection, line the inside edge of the cover with silicone

where it contacts the box, then assemble the box using the

8 screws.* Tighten the screws tightly by hand with a #2

screwdriver.

6. Anchor Inground Conduit Box in the hole using the 4

provided stakes. Install all speakers and test the system

before burying the boxes and wiring.

7. Using a screw driver, adjust the speaker angle and

position last.

*See ‘IMPORTANT!’ notice on the previous page.

After all satellites and subwoofer connections are completed,

connect the wires to your receiver or amplifier.

IMPORTANT! Be sure not to let any stray’+’ and’-’

strands touch each other. Touching strands will cause

a short circuit which could damage your amplifier.

Turn your receiver or amplifier ‘On’ and test the system with your

favorite music. If the speakers are operating properly, refill the

wire trench and enjoy your new speakers.

14

Don’t be fooled by your amplifier’s volume

control. It adjusts listening level—it does not indicate power

output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating,

or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn the volume down

immediately or you will damage your speakers! This type of

damage constitutes abuse and is not covered by the warranty!

Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power

from an amplifier, lowering the point at which it produces

clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not

use them when listening at loud levels.

Outdoors there are no walls to contain sound. Background

noise is louder and the distance listeners are from the

speaker(s) is usually greater. Achieving a reasonable listening

level can be more difficult. The tendency is to turn up the

volume, however this may disturb neighbors and when turned

up too high, can seriously damage the speakers or your

amplifier.

The solution? In larger areas we recommend using multiple

MartinLogan Outdoor Living Series speakers. Using more

speakers ensures that sound is evenly distributed, allowing for

reasonable listening levels at lower volumes. Demand on the

amplifier is reduced and neighbors are not disturbed. Think

of it this way: When lighting a large outdoor area, using

multiple floodlights on a dimmer set to a low setting is far

more effective than using a single floodlight with the dimmer

set to high.
