Product Overview
The Sonance Mariner MX86 Black is an 8" two-way outdoor speaker built as the flagship coverage size in the Mariner MX Series, aimed at large boats, expansive decks, and coastal patios. It is intended for marine electronics dealers and outdoor AV integrators who need the highest output the Mariner MX line offers, verified to an IP66 weather rating. The headline benefit is maximum output and low-end extension without sacrificing marine-grade durability.
Product Description
The MX86 is the largest model in Sonance's Mariner MX Series, pairing a 1.2" ferrofluid-cooled ceramic dome tweeter with an 8" Kevlar/Nomex woofer and rubber surround, producing a frequency response of 45Hz to 20kHz at 8 ohms and 91dB sensitivity. It is rated IP66 and tested to MIL-SPEC 810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature extremes, and UV exposure, standing up to flybridge and aft-deck placement on larger vessels. It surface-mounts with Sonance's FastMount bracket system, and a perforated aluminum grille secured by the Grille Clip System shields the drivers from spray and debris. Integrators can pair the black MX86 with the white finish, or scale down to the MX62 and MX66 from the same outdoor speaker family for smaller zones, while confirming the amplifier's 8-ohm channel rating covers the full speaker count in a given zone.
