Which Pioneer marine speaker should I choose?
Start with the cut-out size on your boat. The TS-MR1600 and TS-MR1640 are 6.5-inch (16 cm) speakers; the TS-MR2040 is the 8-inch (20 cm) model and the one to pick where there is room for a larger driver and more output.
At 6.5 inches, the choice is between the dual cone TS-MR1600, a simple single-driver replacement, and the 2-way TS-MR1640, which adds a dedicated 30 mm dome tweeter for clearer vocals and treble and handles more power (30W against 25W nominal). The 8-inch TS-MR2040 has the highest power handling and sensitivity in the range at 40W nominal and 92 dB.
Pioneer Marine Speakers FAQs
Q: Are Pioneer TS-MR speakers waterproof?
A: They are built for marine use rather than being fully waterproof. The water-resistant IMPP composite cone, elastomer surround, glass fibre reinforced AES basket, UV-resistant AES grilles and gold-plated terminals are designed to cope with spray, salt water, humidity, heat and corrosion on a boat.
Q: What sizes do the Pioneer marine speakers come in?
A: The TS-MR1600 and TS-MR1640 are 6.5-inch (16 cm) speakers and the TS-MR2040 is an 8-inch (20 cm) speaker.
Q: What is the difference between the TS-MR1600 and TS-MR1640?
A: Both are 6.5-inch marine speakers. The TS-MR1600 is a dual cone design with a single driver, rated at 25W nominal, while the TS-MR1640 is a 2-way coaxial with a separate 30 mm balanced dome tweeter, rated at 30W nominal.
Q: Do I need an amplifier for Pioneer marine speakers?
A: Not necessarily. With nominal ratings of 25W to 40W and 4-ohm impedance, they will run from a marine head unit, and a marine amplifier can be added for more volume and headroom.
Q: Can CEN help with fitting marine speakers?
A: Yes. Contact CEN in Beeston, Nottingham with your boat details and we can advise on sizes and arrange installation.
