SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Mariner speakers are highly weather-resistant, and when mounted
outdoors will perform exceptionally well for years even under adverse
weather conditions.
The new Mariner FastMount ® bracket system makes it easy to mount the
speakers in a variety of positions and locations:
Against a wall Against a wall
(flush) (angled, with base)
In a corner
(2) Plastic inserts (to fill bracket
indentations when mounting
brackets are not used)
(1) Hardware package
Under an eave
On a pole
The best performance is obtained by placing the speakers at ear level,
facing the listeners.
• If you are mounting the speakers above or below ear level, pivot them
up or down to direct the sound towards the listeners.
• You can orient the speakers 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 FastMount brackets
directly to the mounting surface.
Run the speaker wires from the
amplifier to the speaker locations
and through the holes in the
brackets (and mounting bases, 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 FastMount brackets 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
