CONNECTION

WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making or breaking any signal connections!

JUMPER CLIPS
(F200/F100/C100/B100/F20/F10)

WARNING! Only after jumper clips are removed may you con-nect individual runs of speaker cable from your amplifiers to the high-frequency and low- frequency signal input binding posts. Damage will occur to your amplifiers if the jumper clips are not removed.

In some countries federal law prohibits MartinLogan from supplying jumper clips. If none are found installed under your speakers binding posts, please refer to ‘Bi-Wire Connection’ for connection instructions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I clean my speakers?
Use a dust free cloth (such as a micro fiber cloth) or a soft brush to remove dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers.

Could you suggest a list of suitable elec-tronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers?
We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best source for information when purchasing additional audio equipment.

Is there likely to be any interaction between my speakers and the televi- sion in my A/V system?
Yes. These speakers are not shielded and should be kept at least 2 feet away from a CRT television.

Will exposure to sunlight affect the life or performance of my speakers?
We recommend against placing any loudspeaker in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause deterioration of cabinet, speaker cones, etc. Small exposures to UV will not cause a prob-lem. Filtering of UV rays through glass will greatly reduce the negative effects.

Should I use a 4, 6, or 8 Ohm rated amplifier with my speakers?
All of our Motion series speakers are compatible with 4, 6 or 8 Ohm output audio amplifiers and receivers. Many of the most popular brands of AV receivers and amplifiers with 4, 6 and 8 Ohm out-put ratings have been thoroughly tested with all of our Motion series products and we have found no compatibility issues except under extreme listening conditions. For the best performance and sonic purity when using our Motion series products use of an amplifier or AV receiver with either a 4 or 6 Ohm output is recommended!

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Your speakers are provided with an automatic Limited 90 Day Warranty coverage. You have the option, at no additional charge, to receive a Limited 5 Year Warranty coverage. To obtain the Limited 5 Year Warranty coverage you need to complete and return the Certificate of Registration to MartinLogan within 30 days of purchase.

MartinLogan may not honor warranty service claims unless we have a completed Warranty Registration card on file!

SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number is located on back of the speak-er, directly beneath the binding posts. The serial number may also be found on the product carton.

SERVICE
Should you use your MartinLogan product in a country other than the one in which it was originally purchased, we ask that you note the following:

  1. The appointed MartinLogan distributor for any given country is responsible for warranty servicing only on units distributed by or through it in that coun-try in accordance with its applicable warranty.
  2. Should a MartinLogan product require ser-vicing in a country other than the one in which it was originally purchased, the end user may seek to have repairs performed by the nearest MartinLogan distributor, subject to that distribu-tor’s local servicing policies, but all cost of repairs (parts, labor, transportation) must be borne by the owner of the MartinLogan product.
  3. If, after owning your speaker for six months, you relocate to a country other than the one in which you purchased your speaker, your warranty may be transferable. Contact MartinLogan for details.
