We know you are eager to hear your new MartinLogan loud-
speakers, so this section is provided to allow fast and easy set up.
Once you have them operational, please take the time to read,
in depth, the rest of the information in the enclosed manual. It
will give you perspective on how to attain the greatest possible
performance from this most exacting transducer.
If you should experience any difficulties in the setup or
operation of your MartinLogan speakers, please refer to the
Room Acoustics, Placement or Operation sections of the
enclosed owner's manual. Should you encounter a persis-
tent problem that cannot be resolved, please contact your
authorized MartinLogan dealer. They will provide you with
the appropriate technical analysis to alleviate the situation.
Step 1: Unpacking
Remove your new MartinLogan speakers from their packing.
Step 2: Placement
Place speakers at least two feet from any wall and angle them
slightly toward your listening area. This is a good place to start.
Please see the Placement section of the enclosed manual for
more details.
Step 3: Power Connection (AC) (see warning)
MartinLogan speakers require AC power to energize their
electrostatic cells. Using the AC power cords provided, plug
them in first to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel
of the speaker, making sure that you have made a firm
connection, and then to the wall outlet. Please see the
Operations section of the enclosed manual for more details.
Step 4: Signal Connection
Use the best speaker cables you can. Higher quality cable, avail-
able from your specialty dealer, is recommended and will give
you superior performance. Spade connectors are suggested for
optimum contact and ease of installation.
Attach your speaker cables to the Signal Input section on the
rear panel. Be consistent when connecting speaker leads to the
terminals on the back of the speaker: take great care to assign
the same color to the (+) terminal on both the left and right
channels. If bass is nonexistent and you cannot discern a tight,
coherent image, you may need to reverse the (+) and (–) leads
on one side to bring the system into proper polarity.
If your speaker is equipped for Bi-wiring/Passive Bi-amping, turn
to the Operations section of the enclosed manual for proper
setup of your MartinLogan speakers.
Step 5: Listen and Enjoy
