Please read this manual before using the product in order to give you the needed
product and installation instruction to assure a seamless installation and non
compromised overall sound quality.
Thanks for purchasing our APart Marine speaker. We have put great care and effort
in the design in order to bring you high quality sound, even in the most difficult
humid places. In humid environments the selection of speaker components is
limited to just a few, mostly not the best in audiophile performance. However we
have achieved to solve the material challenge and are able to bring you a marine
speaker that offers you superb sound for application in yachts, sauna,
cruise ships,. . This range of speakers are offered in 5¼inch, 6½inch and 8inch in
order to deliver you a speaker that matches your needs.
Each speaker from this range has a nominal impedance of 8Ω, allowing you to
connect up to 2 speakers in parallel per 4Ω stable amplifier channel.
Safety precaution
• Keep this manual for future reference.
• When making the hole in your mounting panel to mount the APart CMAR
speaker, make sure there is sufficient clearance behind the panel (no obstructions
like A/C channels, power lines etc,.)
• Take care of your speaker wires, they should be free of damage. Damaged
speaker wires might result in poor sound quality and can damage amplifiers.
• Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer
• Make sure the mounting panel can support the speakers weight.
• Use sufficient amount of speakers to avoid death-spots.
• No main power shall be connected to the loudspeakers, doing so will damage
the speaker.

• This apparatus should only be serviced by qualified personnel. If not warranty
might be void.
• Use cable of the right gauge, certainly for long runs.
• Use cables with clear color indication and maintain polarity throughout the whole
system.
• Avoid loud feedback from microphones, this can damage your speaker.
• Please check the units condition after unpacking. If the outside of the carton box
has been damaged, inform your shipper immediately.
• Take notice that this speaker is a marine type, suitable for use in Sauna, boats,
yaghts, cruise ships, outside,.. but it is not intended for being completely
submerged in liquid.

Using the cutout template
Note: when making the hole in your mounting panel, double check if there are no
cables or any other obstructions behind the mounting panel. Cutting the mounting
panel without this check might result in damaged infrastructure or power lines.
Important: While the front side of the APart CMAR speaker line is waterproof, care
should be taken to keep the backside free from humidity. We have added a rubber
sealing gasket in order to seal the backside of the speaker to your mounting panel.
This seal should always be used! Warranty will be void when you do not use this
seal.

Connecting the speaker
Use the correct polarity when daisy chaining speakers ! When a mistake occurs
in your daisy chain, it can severely impact speaker performance as there will be
audio-cancellation.
The daisy chain options are endless and the setup will depend on the capabilities of
your amplifier. Make sure when daisy chaining speakers that the total impedance is
not lower than the lowest specified impedance of your amplifier. Not following this
rule might result in distorted sound and might even damage your amplifier.
Series wiring speaker diagram:
Total resistance = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + ...
Parallel wiring speaker diagram:
(-)
(+)
Total resistance =
1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + ...
R1 = Resistance of speaker 1
R2 = Resistance of speaker 2
R3 = Resistance of speaker 3
R4 = Resistance of speaker 4
