do not overtighten—do not use a tool to tighten the
binding posts.
Be consistent when connecting the speaker cables
to the signal input terminals. Take care to assign
the same color cable lead to the (+) terminal on
both the left and right channel speakers. If bass is
nonexistent and you cannot discern a tight, coher-
ent image, you may need to reverse the (+) and
(–) leads on one speaker to bring the system into
proper polarity.
BREAK IN
Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90 dB
(moderate listening levels) before critical listening.
INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE
If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,
and stable platform, the speaker can be placed
directly on top. Note: This speaker is not magneti-
cally shielded and therefore should not be placed
directly beside or atop a CRT television.
VERTICAL DISPERSION
For optimal performance, the Folded Motion tweet-
er and electrostatic panel should be aimed in the
direction of your ears when sitting in your primary
listening position. The bottom of the speaker fea-
tures an adjustable foot that allows the speaker to
be easily aimed.
When this speaker is installed on a low surface,
leave the adjustable foot flush with the bottom of
the speaker so the electrostatic panel and Folded
Motion tweeter aims slightly upward.
If your speaker is installed near or slightly below
ear height, extend the adjustable foot so the elec-
trostatic panel and Folded Motion tweeter are
vertical.
InstallatIon
WARNING! Installation other
than that described in the body of
this document requires specific
documentation from MartinLogan.

It had long been the practice of stereo buffs to
connect their television to a stereo system. The
advantage was the use of the larger speakers and
more powerful amplifier of the stereo system. Even
though the sound was greatly improved, it was still
mono and limited by the broadcast signal.
In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s two new
home movie formats became widely available to
the public: VCR and laser disc.
