Sonance Mariner 52SS, Mariner 62SS User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Mariner weather-resistant speakers.
When properly installed, these speakers will give you many years of
outdoor entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new
speakers, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin installation.
The directions in this manual apply to the Mariner 62SS and Mariner
52SS models.
PARTS LIST
Your Sonance Mariner speakers include the following:
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Sonance Mariner SS speakers combine the outputs of your amplifier’s
left and right stereo channels, and play both stereo channels from just
one speaker. A single Mariner SS speaker to deliver outstanding performance in areas where listeners will be moving around, or where a pair of
stereo speakers would be impractical.
The Mariner SS speakers are highly weather-resistant,and when mounted outdoors will perform exceptionally well for years even under adverse
weather conditions.
The new Mariner mounting system makes it easy to mount the speakers
in a variety of positions and locations:
The best performance is obtained by placing the speaker at ear level,
facing the listeners.
• If you are mounting the speaker above or below ear level,pivot it up or
down to direct the sound towards the listeners.
• You can orient the speaker either horizontally or vertically without
affecting the sound quality.
CONNECTING AND ASSEMBLING THE SPEAKERS
WARNING: Turn the amplifier’s power OFF until you have
completed all of the connections and have determined that they are
correct. (If the amp’s AC plug is accessible we recommend that
you unplug it from the wall outlet to avoid accidental turn-on and
possible damage to the amplifier.)
1. In most cases you will be able to attach the mounting bracket directly
to the mounting surface. Run the
speaker wires from the amplifier to
the speaker location and through
the hole in the mounting bracket
(and mounting base, if used).
Note: To increase water resistance
and make installation easier, the
speaker wire terminals are located on
the Mariner speakers’ front panel. Be
sure to leave enough wire at the
speaker location to feed through the
tunnel in the speaker enclosure and
connect to the terminals on the front.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to
the mounting surface using hardware (not included) that is appropriate for the type of surface.
• If the installation requires that
the speaker be mounted in a
corner,attach the bracket with
hardware through the slots in
the angled corners as shown
to the right.

3. If the installation requires that the speaker be mounted vertically and
that it pivot in the vertical dimension (or be mounted horizontally
and pivot in the horizontal dimension), you must use the included
mounting base in addition to the bracket:
3a. Run the speaker wire through the hole in the wall half of the base.
3b. Attach the wall half of the base to the mounting surface using
hardware (not included) that is appropriate for the type of surface.
3c. Pass the speaker wire through the slot in the bracket half of the base.
3d. Use the included hardware and allen wrench to assemble the base
halves.
3e. Use the included 4 self-tapping
screws to attach the bracket to
the mounting base.
• Before attaching the bracket to
the base, pass the speaker wire
through the hole in the center
of the bracket.
• To adjust the speaker, loosen
the hex screw with the supplied allen wrench, pivot the
bracket/base and tighten the
hex screw.
4. If the installation requires that
the speaker be mounted on a
pole you can attach the brackets
to the pole using 2½” U-bolts
(not included).
5. Feed the speaker wires from the
bracket into the wire entry
grommet on the back of the
speaker, through the wire tunnel and out the opening on the
speaker’s front panel.
• The grommet forms a water-
resistant seal around the speaker wire.
• Make sure there is enough slack in the wire to allow
the speaker to pivot on the bracket.
6. Slide the speaker onto the bracket until the locks snap into place.
• Pull enough wire through the front of the speaker to allow connec-
tion to the terminals.
7. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker’s terminals:
a. Strip about ½” of insulation from each conductor and twist the
strands together or tin them with solder.
b. Press-down on the tops of the connectors to open them.
c. Insert the wires into the connector holes as shown.
d. Release the connectors.
• The binding post connectors can accept wire up to 14 gauge.
• Double-check that you connected all of the wires properly (amplifier
‘+’ to speaker ‘+’; amplifier ‘–’ to speaker ‘–’) at all connections.
IMPORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray ‘+’ and ‘–’ wires touch each
other. Touching wires can cause a short-circuit that could damage
your amplifier.
