MARINER H O SPEAKERS
2
Congratulations on your choice of the Sonance® Mariner High
Output speakers. The H O is the ideal speaker for applications
2
requiring the high fidelity and ruggedness of the Mariner series, with
extended low frequency response, extended input sensitivity, and
greater power handling ability. Both the 1" cloth dome tweeter
and twin 5-1/4" polypropylene woofers are magnetically shielded for
freedom of placement. Optimum sound coverage of any area is easily
achieved with fewer speakers thanks to the H
convenient multi-pivot bracket system.
Sonance also offers the largest selection of high fidelity in-wall/
in-ceiling speakers in the world, as well as a wide variety of products
for custom home and commercial installations. Visit the Sonance
World Wide Web site at http://www.sonance.com or your authorized
dealer for more information on the extensive range of speakers,
amplifiers, and custom installation products available from Sonance.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR MARINER H
When properly installed and mated with other high fidelity
components, your H Os will provide many years of entertainment
2
pleasure. To realize the full potential of your new speakers, please read
all instructions before starting the installation process.
Careful placement of your H O speakers will allow listeners to enjoy
2
the full frequency response the speakers offer. With the flexibility to
mount on poles, walls, or railings, you can take advantage of a range
of installation options.
Remember that the high frequency drivers (in the center of the
enclosure) must be at or above the ear level of listeners to retain the
full sound spectrum. Consider if listeners will be seated or standing,
then mount the H Os where they will not be obscured.

Use quality speaker wire to permit the H
potential. Select oxygen-free Sonance Gold, Silver, or Bronze
MediaLinQ ® plenum cable as appropriate to your installation. We
recommend 18-gauge wire for runs of less than 50 feet, 16-gauge for
runs of 50-100 feet, and 14-gauge for runs over 100 feet.
