INTRODUCTION

AND

OVERVIEW

Thank

you-the

MartinLogan

owner,

for

loving

what

we

do,

and

making

it

possible

for

us

to

do

what

we

love.

Martinlogan's

dedicated in-house engineering and

design

team

developed

the

Crescendo Xspeaker

to

deliver exceptional audio performance

from

a single

system,

easily integrated and installed

in

a diverse

variety of

environments.

The

Crescendo

X

produces

an

enveloping field of richly detailed audio incorporating

two tweeters (featuring Martinlogan's award-winning

Folded

Motion technology), a high-performance woofer,

and

three

channels of dedicated

class-D

amplification

representing

l

watts

of

total

power.

PLACEMENT

We

recommend locating the speaker on a surface

that

provides

a

wide,

level,

and

stable platform

such as a table or

audio/video

rack. Please note,

this speaker

is

not magnetically shielded and there-

CoNNECTION

POWER CONNECTION

The

power

cord

should

be

firmly inserted into the

AC

power

receptacle on the rear

of

the speaker,

and

then to

any

convenient

AC

wall

outlet.

If

you

remove

your

speaker

from the country

of

original

sale,

be

certain that the

AC

power

sup-

cessing) based pre-amplifier allows

Martinlogan

to

replace dedicated stereo speakers with a one piece

solution, capable of reproducing sound with unflinch-

ing accuracy, resolution, and

detail-the

inspiration

behind every

Martinlogan

design. Additionally, for

a fully authentic audio experience,

the

Crescendo

X

makes connecting a dedicated subwoofer

as

simple

as

the

push

of a button.

The Crescendo

X'

s remote control quickly adjusts

volume, selects inputs, and controls your media.

The

remote also

allows

you to easily switch between

two

discrete acoustic

modes-'Bass

+' mode (for

those moments requiring a little extra thunder) and a

'Normal'

mode that

restores

normal levels.

in

any

subsequent

location

is

suitable

before

connecting

and

speaker.

Substantia.ll'1·

impaired

performance

or

severe

damage

may occur to the speaker if operation

is

attempted from an incorrect

AC

power

source.

When

the Power button on the

back

panel

is

set

to

'Off'

the speaker

is

completely

powered

down,

including

all

network

connections

(Wi-Fi

and

Ethernet are deactivated).

SIGNAL CONNECTION

Connections are

made

at the signal input section

7

on the rear electronics panel

of

the speaker. Your

speaker features the following

audio

inputs:

•

Ethernet:

used for streaming

audio

from

Apple

AirPlay or

DTS

Play-Fi®.

•

Aux

[Auxiliary]: used for either digital optical

(T

oslink) or

analog

input.

This

input will accept

either a standard 3.5mm stereo

headphone

style or mini-Toslink plug. A special mini-Tos-

link to T

oslink

cable

or min

i-T

oslink

adaptor

is

required for digital optical connection.

In

addition,

the

speaker features two inputs that

do

not require a physical connection:

•

Wireless:

used for streaming

audio

from

Apple

AirPlay or

Play-Fi®

.

•

Bluetooth:

used for streaming from compatible

Bluetooth

equipped

devices, including aptX®

Bluetooth devices.

Please

note, when utilizing

this

speaker

to

reproduce

audio

from a television via the speaker's Auxiliary

(digital or analog) connection,

the

television's audio

output should be defeated. Some televisions

will

allow

you to

turn

off the internal speaker via the

television's menu system.

Other

televisions

may

require you

to

turn

the

television's volume

to

"zero"

or "mute." Additionally, your television may require

you

to

turn

on

the

digital optical output or

and/

or

configure the output for 2-channel (stereo) sound.

Please

refer

to

your television's manual.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream

audio

to

your

speaker, a LAN (local

area network) connection

is

required.

This

connec-

tion can

be

established using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Refer

to

the

wireless setup section

of

this

manual for

setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer

to

enhance

bass performance. Subwoofers can

be connected

via

the speaker's "Sub

Out"

RCA

connection.

We

recommend

using a

superb

Martinlogan

subwoofer.

Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for

subwoofer connection, connect "Sub Out" from

the

speaker to the

"LFE

In/Sub

In" on the subwoofer.

On

the

back

panel

of

the speaker, set the Sub

Out

button to

"On"

(in

its

"on" state the button will

be

depressed-in

its

"off" state the button

will

be

extended).

When

the Sub

Out

is

turned on, the

deep

bass output

of

the speaker will

be

·reduced

(to

optimize performance} and bass information will

be sent directly to your external subwoofer for a

deeper, extended, overall bass response.

Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn

how

to properly adjust the sub's level and phase con-

trols to achieve proper blending with the speaker.

When

Sub

Out

is

set to

"On,"

the speaker

will

handle

the crossover setting to the

subwoofer,

Because

of

this, the subwoofer's crossover should

be

set

to "bypass" or

"LFE."

For

subwoofers that

do

not have a "bypass" or

"LFE"

crossover setting,

we

recommend adjusting

the

crossover to

its
