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.

We do not recommend active bi-amplification. The
internal crossover can not be bypassed. This con-
nection method seriously degrades performance.

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!
