Does anyone recognize the satellites for this outdoor landscape system? There are 6-8 sats and a buried sub with "mushroom" style port. Installation was probably 2006 - 2010. They are powered by a QSC CX302V amp so they are NOT 70v speakers? Trying to understand what the wiring topology might be... not sure if they are mono with the sub on one channel and the sats are on the other (using selectable crossover in amp), or running stereo with both channels going to the sub (maybe containing a passive crossover) and then out to the sats. Several of the satellite speakers are blown and sound bad.

Given the time frame, I’m gonna guess first gen Ambisonic.

Google says that QSC AMP is 70V [Link: qsc.com]2 conductors to each speaker? Maybe the cables are bad, if not daisy chained, or the speakers at the end are out?

Looks like the "V" at the end of the model designates the 70v version. I think all the speakers make sound, but at least 3 of them have a terrible rattle/buzz so I'm expecting the wiring is good, but drivers are damaged.

I found a one page manual which shows the sub and sats all wired together on the same channel (but not passing through the sub). There's an active external DSP shown inline between source and the QSC amp, but the satellites must have an internal passive crossover to block the bass.

Thanks gang... in agreement that they are James.
I'm back there tomorrow and will check to see if the sub is on a separate channel or mixed on a channel with sats. Several of the satellite speaks sound damaged so I think the first step is to just disconnect them and go from there.
