Blend your passions — Audio and the outdoors
Alas, your two passions in life they, well, they just don't quite mesh. Attempting to combine your infatuation with your home audio library and your utter obsession with barbequing can be disasterous, or at best annoying. Attempting to barbeque in your living room — surrounded by the sweet waves of your favorite album — is, to put it mildly, an affront to the local fire code. On the other hand, cranking up your audio system so that you can still rock out to your tunes while cooking on the deck will most likely result in a less than pleasant audio experience. Ay! What to do? Presenting the Sonance Mariner 61 outdoor speaker pair. Your deck or backyard suddenly becomes a high-performance extension of your indoor audio system with the Mariner 61 pair mounted outside, each speaker's 0.75" tweeter and 6.5" woofer offering a high-fidelity reproduction of your cherished tunes. Compared with its little sibling, the Mariner 51, the Mariner 61's larger woofer and wider frequency response allow you to experinece even better low-frequency bass audio.
Fear not the elements
"Place my speakers outside?!", you might exclaim. "But, but, what about rain, and wind, and lightning, and . . . pollination?" Fear not, lover of all things audio and outdoors — the Sonance Mariner 61 speaker pair features a cabinet construction that laughs in the face of the elements. A Protected Access Connection Terminal (PACT) system increases the speakers' weather resistance with grommeted rear wire entry ports and covered front wire connectors. Polypropylene enclosure construction and perforated-aluminum grilles further enhance the Mariner 61s' weather resistance.
No ordinary mounts — Fastmount®s
We all know that, when it comes to audio performance, speaker placement is crucial, but it is equally important when considering outdoor placement. Not only do you need to be able to exercise more placement control so as to achieve your desired audio soundstage, but you also face a much wider variety of potential mounting surfaces than that typically found indoors. With their Fastmount® bracket mounting system, the Mariner 61 speakers offer versatile outdoor-mounting options. First, the ability to pivot a full 180° combines with click-stops, providing optimal directivity and precise, repeatable speaker-angle positioning for these Sonance speakers. Second, Fastmount mounts allow Mariner 61 speakers to be horizontally mounted across a corner with no additional hardware, and will accommodate 2.5" U-bolts (not included) for mounting on poles. Finally, push-and-lock speaker installation eliminates clumsy threaded knobs; the locks are hidden behind the grille for added security.
