Installation
Installing Aquasonic Underwater Speakers is easy both during your pool construction and after. If you would like to install your speaker permanently in your pool wall, the speaker is fitted into an Amer-lite brand standard pool light niche installed in you pool wall at the time of your pool's construction.

If your pool already exists, then that same speaker can be used by dropping the unit in the pool by the waterproof cord and it simply rests along the edge of the pool floor. A third option is to use the unit a a float-on-top speaker, taking advantage of sound above AND below the water's surface.

Underwater Speakers-How They Work
Designed for applications ranging from synchronized swimming and diver communication to recreational/therapeutic pools, ClarkSynthesis Aquasonic underwater speakers provide superior full-range fidelity.Why? Waterborne vibrations have less effect on the ear drum than do airborne vibrations. As a result, there tends to be a muted quality to underwater sound. This is why ordinary underwater loudspeakers don't win many awards for fidelity. However, if waterborne vibrations are strong enough, they also are conducted through the bones near our ears. This process - known as bone conduction -sends tactile sound vibrations directly to the inner ear, where they are translated into electrical signals for the brain (i.e., sound). This technology is what gives these transducers that feel-it-in-your-bones rich sound.Clark Synthesis' patented Aquasonic underwater loudspeakers are powerful compression drivers similar to the acclaimed Tactile Sound Transducers (TSTs) used in home theaters and other sound systems.

Aquasonic speakers produce strong vibrations over a full range of tactile and audible frequencies, providing high-quality underwater sound through a combination of acoustic transmission and bone conduction.Aquasonic speakers contain two elements: The main driver (for bass and middle frequencies) and an attached Acoustic Lens for improved high-frequency fidelity. Standard Aquasonic models are designed to either hang into the water by a cord, be installed it-wall in a standard pool light fixture, or float on top of the water sending sound both underneath and above the water's surface. WTL models are designed specifically for installation inside Amerilite-brand pool-light fixtures. All Aquasonic models include 100-feet of built-in, Enduroflex waterproof speaker cable.

About our Manufacturers
Clark Synthesis's transducers were originally developed for flight simulation. The patented design actually allows you to FEEL the music and was discovered to lend itself very nicely to underwater applications. It's one of the reasons they were issued U.S. Patent #5,473,700. The real 'secret' behind the Clark design is in their uniquely versatile shape and construction. And indeed they do perform, in the qualified opinion of many long-time audiophiles, better than anything else that we've experienced both in and out of the water.

"This unique design offers a float-on-top speaker option giving you sound above and below simultaneously, as well as In-wall and Drop-in capabilities. Enjoy!"

Applications

These speakers have been use for Aquatic Therapy, swim-in-place exercise pools, major luxury resorts, the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, The Watsu Pool at the Mauna Lani Resort in Hawaii, for Dolphin Dance at Kelani Instsitute, Cirque du Soleil "O" at the Bellagio, synchro swim teams, marine biology studies, diver communications for the Navy, and at Seaworld to train Orcas.

In-wall installation of the speaker requires a parts kit which is sold separately. For the Aquasonic Speaker In-wall Assembly Parts Kit, click here.



pool questionsQuestions customers have been asking about this product:

Q: How do I know how many speakers I need for my pool?

A: For ideal sound transmission, the manufacturer recommends using one speaker for every 20' x 20' section of pool.


Q: My pool contractor is starting to dig tomorrow and I'd like to get him to install a couple of these speakers in my 20'x40' free form pool. How many speakers should I have ideally? The pool will have a gray marbelite bottom, are there covers available for the speakers to match?

A: We spoke with Clark Synthesis and they recommend 2 speakers. Clark Synthesis stated you should place a speaker every 20' X 20' square section of the pool. You may purchase the speakers through this link http://www.inyopools.com/Products/00100001005502.htm and you may purchase the in wall installation kit through this link http://www.inyopools.com/Products/00137648035518.htm the in wall installation kit kit comes with a stainless steel face plate cover, niche and all parts to install the speaker into the niche. You may view the installation guide through this link http://www.inyopools.com/owners_manual/aquasonic.pdf


Q: What is the rated power of the speaker in watts in air? Any boat mount excessaries? Could this be used to heard fish?

A:

The Aquasonic is rated at 135 watts at 4 ohms.  The speaker does not produce much sound in air and should not be used as an air speaker. We do not provide any boat mount accessories. While the Aquasonic can reproduce sounds in the range of hearing for many fish (30 Hz to 4 kHz), and the Aquasonic is used in some underwater animal training programs, we are not aware of anyone using the Aquasonic to affect the behavior of fish.




Q: What is the maximum depth for this speaker?

A:

The manufacture tests the pool speakers down to 10 feet.  However, recommend that they only be used down a few feet, which is the standard depth for a light niche. The manufacture will not warranty anything below 10 feet.
