Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the Acoustic Design AD-S82 Multi-Use, All-Weather Loudspeakers. These 
products represent the state-of-the-art in all-weather, lightweight SR (sound reinforcement) loudspeaker systems. To get the most 
from your investment, we encourage you to review this manual carefully.
The AD-S82 loudspeaker systems are full range, high output, two-way designs delivering superior sound quality and high SPL in a 
lightweight, all-weather enclosure. These loudspeakers make an excellent choice for a wide variety of SR applications.
Coverage Angles
Before mounting the loudspeaker, determine the mounting orientation and desired coverage angles. As supplied from the factory, 
the loudspeaker’s coverage angles are 90° (horizontal) x 60° (vertical) with the cabinet oriented vertically. The waveguide can be 
rotated to interchange the coverage angles.
Rotating the Waveguide to Alter HF Coverage Pattern
1- Remove the grill. Gently and evenly work the grill out of its retaining groove to avoid bending 
the grill.
2- Remove the eight waveguide retaining screws. A #2-size Phillips screwdriver is recom-
mended. 
3- Reach into the waveguide’s port and pull gently to remove the waveguide. Be careful not to 
damage the connections, wiring, or the gasket between the waveguide and the cabinet. 
4- Rotate the horn 90° clockwise or counterclockwise and set it back in place. Make certain the 
wiring is not stressed or pulled loose from its connections when rotating the assembly.  
5- Before reinstalling the waveguide screws, lift the assembly a small distance and make sure 
that the gasket is properly in place. Reposition it, if required. Set the waveguide in place and 
install the screws. Do not overtighten.
6- Replace the grill.
Connection
Connect the amplifier’s + and - outputs directly to the loudspeaker’s + (red) and - (black) termi-
nals. If using optional ID-8 or YM-8 mounting hardware, refer to the instructions provided with the hardware.
Maintain proper speaker and amplifier connection polarity throughout the entire system. All positive-marked 
loudspeaker terminals should be connected to positive-marked amplifier output terminals. This will provide the 
best possible low-frequency output from your system.
