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.
PASSIVE BI-AMPLIFICATION
(F200/F100/C100/B100/F20/F10)
ACTIVE BI-AMPLIFICATION
We do not recommend active bi-amplification. The internal crossover can not be
bypassed. This con-nection method seriously degrades performance.
PLACEMENT
BREAK IN
72 hrs
Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90 dB (moderate listening levels)
before any critical listening.
PLACEMENT
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!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
