The Origin Acoustics AS50SYS is an Acoustic Landscape Collection Hi-Fi Landscape Audio System designed for outdoor sound distribution. The system comprises four satellite speakers and one subwoofer, engineered for excellent sound quality, longevity, and straightforward installation.
Function Description:
The AS50SYS system is designed to provide high-fidelity audio in outdoor environments. The satellite speakers are intended to be strategically placed to evenly distribute sound across the listening area, while the subwoofer enhances the bass response. The system can be expanded to include up to eight AS50 satellites, offering flexibility for larger outdoor spaces. The speakers and subwoofer are connected to an amplifier via parallel wire runs, which are typically buried in a single trench for a clean and discreet installation. The system is compatible with Origin PRO ProA250.2 and Origin DSP2-200 amplifiers, with specific wiring plans provided for both configurations.

Usage Features:
- Outdoor Audio System: Specifically designed for landscape audio applications, providing sound distribution in outdoor areas.
- Expandable System: The base AS50SYS system includes four satellites and one subwoofer, but it can be expanded to incorporate up to eight AS50 satellites for broader coverage.
- Strategic Placement: Speakers should be evenly spaced in a line, typically 6 to 8 feet apart, and aimed to uniformly cover the listening area. The subwoofer should be placed somewhat near the middle of the speaker arrangement, potentially near a wall or solid surface for enhanced bass, but away from standing water.
- Buried Wiring: The system is designed for wires to be buried in a single trench, ensuring a neat and unobtrusive installation.
- Amplifier Compatibility: Detailed wiring plans are provided for use with Origin PRO ProA250.2 and Origin DSP2-200 amplifiers, ensuring proper connectivity and performance.
- Parallel Wiring: The speakers and subwoofer are connected using two parallel wire runs, with the subwoofer connected to both channels. Most receivers can safely handle up to eight speakers and a subwoofer (4 ohm load).
- Wire Gauge Recommendation: Specific wire gauge recommendations are provided based on the length of the wire run to maintain optimal performance:
- 0-100' (0-30m): 16 Gauge
- 50-150' (15-45m): 14 Gauge
- Over 100' (30m): 12 Gauge
- Wire Nuts for Connections: Wire nuts are used to bundle and connect positive and negative wires from the amplifier to the speakers and subwoofer, ensuring secure connections.
- Testing: After installation, it is recommended to connect a music playing device and test the system before filling holes and trenches.
Maintenance Features:
- Installation Guidelines: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for installation, including digging a hole for the subwoofer (minimum 16" diameter x 16" depth), preparing the base with a sand and gravel mix (2-4 inches thick, 3/8" gravel size recommended), and ensuring subwoofer vents are exposed (about 4 inches from ground level to the top).
