YOUR NEW SPEAKERS
Paradigm

Rock Monitor

speakers are designed for outdoor use where they will provide true high-
performance sound. Their supremely realistic textured faux-stone finish will blend naturally into the
outdoor landscape. Stainless steel grilles and advanced PolyGlass
™
mineral-filled enclosures with
self-draining fissures are weather, water and UV-resistant, even under adverse weather conditions.
Paradigm

™
speakers offer the following connection options:
Stereo Input: Wide dispersion “Left plus Right” channel sound from a single
Rock Monitor

speaker.
Mono Input:
Very wide dispersion stereo sound from two Rock Monitor
™
speakers, one for the left,
one for the right.
Care of Speakers
A damp, soft cloth or the gentle spray from a garden hose may be used to clean the speakers’ exterior.
• Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners on speakers
• Do not spray directly through the grilles into the drive unit
• Do not use a pressure (power) washer to clean speakers—the powerful force of the spray will
damage the drivers and the finish
• Do not place speakers in direct line with an underground sprinkler
• Do not place speakers in an area where they will be drenched with pool splash—over time
heavy doses of chlorine and other pool chemicals may affect the finish
• Do not allow lawn and garden chemicals to come into contact with speakers
• Where possible, avoid placing speakers in direct sunlight—over time this may cause the finish
to fade
Security Stake and Cable (optional use)
The security stake and cable (included) may be used to inhibit theft and reduce the chance of unauthorized
movement of your speakers. See “Installing the Security Stake and Cable” for more information.
