MOUNTING THE MARINE SPEAKER
Option 1: Mounting the Marine Speaker floor-standing with the optional stand
A dedicated, optional stand allows to mount the Marine Speaker to the floor on listening height.
1. Mount the tubular stand tightly to the floor, with the speaker wire running through it. Use appropriate
mounting screws, considering the floor construction and material as well as the loudspeaker’s weight.
2. Place the Marine Speaker on its side, protecting floor and speaker with a soft, non-slippery mat.
3. Take out the Neutrik speakON connector from the underside. Attach the speaker wires to the Neutrik
speakON connector according to the provided Wiring Diagram and reconnect it to the speaker terminal of
the Marine Speaker.
4. Carefully place the Marine Speaker with the mounting ring inside the tubular stand and turn the speaker
towards the listening position. Tighten the two side screws to fix the tube.

Option 2: Mounting the Marine Speaker on a custom-made stand
Alternative to the optional stand, the Marine Speaker can be mounted with its mounting ring to custom-made
plinths, podiums, stands, or other mounting assemblies.
1. Mount the custom-made stand, with the speaker wire running through it. Use appropriate mounting
screws, considering the wall or floor construction as well as the loudspeaker’s weight.
2. Place the Marine Speaker on its side, protecting floor and speaker with a soft, non-slippery mat.
3. Take out the Neutrik speakON connector from the underside. Attach the speaker wires to the Neutrik
speakON connector according to the provided Wiring Diagram and reconnect it to the speaker terminal of
the Marine Speaker.
4. Carefully place the Marine Speaker with the mounting ring inside the tubular stand and turn the speaker
towards the listening position. Tighten the two side screws to fix the tube.

Option 3: Mounting the Marine Speaker hanging
Alternative to floor standing, the Marine Speaker provides a second mounting ring and speaker cable
connector on the upper side. Use custom-made mounting assemblies to use the speaker hanging.
1. Place the Marine Speaker on its side, protecting floor and speaker with a soft, non-slippery mat.
2. Remove the Marine Speaker’s flat mounting cover on the underside, and take out the Neutrik
speakON connector.
3. Remove the Marine Speaker’s flat mounting cover on the top, and mount it to the underside to close
the speaker.
4. Run the speaker wire through the mounting tube or custom mounting assembly, attach the speaker
wires to the Neutrik speakON connector according to the provided Wiring Diagram, and connect it to
the speaker terminal on top of the Marine Speaker.
5. Carefully mount the Marine Speaker to the custom mounting assembly. Use appropriate mounting
screws, considering the ceiling or wall construction and material as well as the loudspeaker’s weight.
Tighten all mounting screws.

CONNECTION OF EQUIPMENT
Speaker Cable Wiring
The Marine Speaker must be connected to the Steinway & Sons A1 or A2 amplifiers through speaker wires
fitted with Neutrik speakON connectors. One the speaker side, one Neutrik speakON connector is provided
with the Marine Speaker. Refer to the Wiring Diagram file provided with the Steinway & Sons Processor.
Warning: Only use either the Neutrik speakON connection on the top of the speaker, or the Neutrik speakON
connection on the underside. Connecting the speaker from both sides will damage the amplifier.
Amplifier DIP Switchboard Addressing
The speaker will be connected to the A1 or A2 amplifiers, depending on the individual system setup.
The red DIP switchboard on the back of each A1 or A2 amplifier must be set for correct identification of the
speaker connected to it.
You will find the actual Unit ID switch setting in the Wiring Diagram file provided with the Processor.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT IN THE LISTENING AREA
Guidelines for the best sound experience
The Steinway Lyngdorf RoomPerfectTM calibration will always ensure best possible sound performance from
any given placement and given listening area. The following advice will provide the best starting point for the
calibration.
• The Marine Speaker has been designed to be free-standing. Closer placement to the wall is still possible
with RoomPerfectTM calibration.
• For the best sound experience with two speakers, the setup should follow the basic stereo triangle
(60x60x60 degrees) with the main listening area placed in the middle between two speakers.
• For the best sound experience in a larger area, an even number of speakers (four, six, eight, or more) can
be set up, with the main listening area placed in the middle of all speakers and the speakers facing the
listening area.
• The Marine Speaker has one tweeter, one midrange driver and two woofers placed on the front side. On
the back side, two passive radiators reproduce the bass additionally. Therefore, every Marine Speaker
should be directed with its front side towards the main listening area, either straight or slightly toed-in.
• For the best sound experience, all speakers should be mounted on ear level.
After all speaker placements and listening positions have been chosen, type-in the measured speaker
distances in your Steinway Lyngdorf Processor and run the RoomPerfectTM calibration.

ROOMPERFECTTM CALIBRATION
Why do you need room correction? The characteristics of your room affect the sound that reaches your ears.
In any system, more than 50% of the sound you hear comes from the contribution of the room, echoes,
reflections, absorption, and the like.
Follow the instructions of the Installation Manual of the Processor, but note that during measurements, you
can work, talk and move around in the room. But the measurements will last longer depending on the level of
background noise.
Guidelines for a correct calibration
In closed rooms, RoomPerfectTM will address room acoustical issues such as typical room modes and boundary
reflections, and improve the sound performance in the listening area.
In open spaces, RoomPerfectTM won’t be required to take care of the typical room modes and boundary
reflections known from closed rooms. RoomPerfectTM will still audibly improve the stereo or surround imaging
in the main listeing area by levelling and aligning all speakers correctly, and lead to an overall better sound
performance compared to speaker systems without any calibration.
RoomPerfectTM will measure in two parts. A preferred listening seat or main listening area (1) has to be defined
and measured as the Focus position, followed by several random measurements across the room (2).
If there is more than one preferred listening seat or main listening areas, additional Focus positions can be
defined after the room measurements (2) in a following measurement (3).

Outdoor and pool measurements
When a a swimming pool is the main listening area, the first RoomPerfectTM Focus measurement should be
taken at the center of the listeing area (1) followed by room measurements around the center (2).
Two tripods with a cross beam or a stable raft can be used to place the microphone stand in the recommended
positions.

PROTECTING THE SPEAKER
Protective Speaker Cover
The Marine Speaker comes with a matching protective speaker cover. Please cover the speaker for:
• Protection against bad weather conditions (rain, snow, splash water, strong wind, sandstorm, flying parts)
• Protection against water cleaners (high-pressure cleaners, washer guns, washing liquids)
• Protection against mechanical damage and scratches (cleaning vehicles, garden vehicles, pets, wildlife)
Slide the cover over the speaker and pull the cord zipper.

CLEANING THE SPEAKER
Clean the speaker with a microfiber cloth. Do not use special polish or cleaning agents as these may cause
damage to the surfaces.
The Marine Speaker is splash water proof, but cleaning with high-pressure water guns should be avoided as
this may damage the loudspeakers behind the white mesh grille.
When not in use, always protect the Marine Speaker with the supplied speaker cover.
