FAQs
Are these speakers sold individually?
No, these Loops outdoor-rated speakers are sold as a pair (1x pair).
What is the IP rating of these speakers?
These speakers have an IP44 rating, meaning they are protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashes of water from any direction.
Can I use these speakers with any amplifier?
Yes, they are 8 ohm compatible and can be used with most standard Hi-Fi systems and amplifiers. Always ensure your amplifier is rated to safely handle 8-ohm speakers.
What is the recommended power handling for these speakers?
The speakers have a power handling of 30W RMS and a MAX power of 60W (both at 8 Ohms).
What are the dimensions of each speaker?
Each speaker measures 195mm in height, 125mm in width, and 125mm in depth (HxWxD).
Can these speakers be mounted vertically or horizontally?
While designed for typical vertical mounting, the adjustable brackets allow for angling. However, for optimal sound and weather protection, standard vertical orientation is recommended.
Do I need to protect the terminals during outdoor use?
Yes, each speaker comes with a protective cover for the terminals. It is recommended to keep this cover securely in place to prevent moisture and debris ingress.
Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Verify speaker wire connections are secure at both the speaker terminals and the amplifier. Check that the correct input source is selected on your amplifier and that the volume is turned up. Ensure the amplifier is functioning correctly and set to drive 8-ohm loads.
Distorted or crackling sound
Check for loose speaker wire connections. Ensure the amplifier is not being overdriven (turned up too high). Inspect speaker drivers for any physical damage. Ensure the power rating of your amplifier does not exceed the speaker's capacity.
One speaker not working
Swap the speaker wires between the working and non-working speaker at the amplifier to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the wiring/amplifier channel. Check the wiring to the specific speaker for breaks or poor connections.
Speakers not holding position
Ensure the mounting screws for the brackets are tightened securely to the wall or mounting surface. Check that the pivot points on the bracket itself are sufficiently tightened to hold the speaker's weight and angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Positioning: Determine the desired location and use the included pan & tilt mounting brackets to secure the speakers to a wall or suitable surface. Adjust the angle to achieve optimal sound dispersion.
- Wiring: Connect speaker wire from your amplifier or Hi-Fi system to the gold-plated spring terminals on the rear of each speaker. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for both speakers.
- Connection: Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the corresponding speaker outputs on your amplifier or Hi-Fi system.
Compatibility:
- These speakers are 8 Ohm compatible, making them suitable for connection to most standard Hi-Fi amplifiers and receivers. Check your amplifier's specifications to ensure it can safely drive multiple 8-ohm speakers.
- Ensure your amplifier has sufficient power output (30W RMS recommended per speaker) for your desired listening volume.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the cabinet or grille.
- Terminal Protection: Ensure the protective cover for the terminals is securely in place, especially when installed outdoors, to prevent ingress of moisture or debris.
- Inspection: Periodically check wiring connections and the integrity of the mounting brackets. For outdoor installations, inspect the speaker cabinets for any signs of wear or damage caused by extreme weather.
