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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No
Output
• Check that all system components are turned
on
and source material

• Check speaker wires and connections.
• Check all interconnecting cables.

If
you
are
unable
to resolve
your
problem,
please contact your dealer or Martinlogan
cus-
tomer service.

MOVING
THE
LOGO
BADGE
The
logo
badge
is
attached magnetically. Using
your fingers, pull
it
away
from
the
grille cover and
reattach
it
at
the
desired position.
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 aHect 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.
