5. Slide the speaker onto the bracket and firmly snap into place.
Pull enough wire through the front of the speaker to allow
connection to the terminals (see figure 8).
6. Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker’s terminals:
A. Strip about .5” 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 (see figure 9).
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.

with the groove of the speaker face perimeter and pressing
firmly until it is snugly in place.. (see figure 11).

PIVOTING THE SPEAKER
You can rotate the speaker in the bracket to direct the sound towards
the listeners.
1. Unlock the slide locks on the speaker pivots by moving them
towards the rear of the speaker (see figure 12).
2. Rotate the speakers to the desired position.
3. Lock the slide locks by moving them towards the front of
the speaker.
PAINTING THE SPEAKER AND GRILLE
All Mariner speakers feature a tough polypropylene enclosure that
can be painted. Sonance recommends using a weather-resistant
outdoor paint and a spray gun to paint the Mariner speakers.
1. If it has already been installed, remove the grille from the speaker.
2. To protect the speaker driver units during painting, place the
grille on a piece of cardboard and trace around its outline. Then
cut the cardboard just inside of the trace line and fit this “paint
plug” into the speaker’s baffle. (Be careful not to damage the
driver components while fitting the paint plug.)
3. Paint the speaker the desired color according to the paint
manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the paint plug after the
paint has thoroughly dried.
4. Paint the grille separately from the speaker using very thin paint
(5:1 thinner:paint ratio). Avoid plugging the grille holes with
excess paint.
5. After the paint has thoroughly dried, re-attach the grille to
the speaker.
NOTE: BE SURE THAT THE BRACKET CLIPS SNAP COMPLETELY
INTO PLACE TO PREVENT ANY BLOCKAGE WITHIN THE SPEAKER
PERIMETER WHERE THE GRILLE IS TO BE INSERTED.
REMOVING THE SPEAKER
To remove the speaker from the FastMount bracket, first use the
provided grille pick to pluck the grille at each corner and gently
pull until the grille is freed from the grooves of the speaker face.
Next, use your thumbs to press outward on the top and bottom
tabs of the speaker face, releasing the clips of the bracket. While
pressing the tabs, pull gently on the speaker toward yourself until
it is removed from the bracket.
