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 Cadence soundbar to deliver exceptional multi-channel performance from a single system that easily integrates and installs in a diverse variety of environments—whether table or wall mounted. The Cadence produces an enveloping field of richly detailed audio for both music and movies.

Advanced digital signal processing technology allows MartinLogan to replace five dedicated home theater speakers with a one piece solution capable of reproducing multi-channel recordings with unflinching accuracy, resolution, and detail— the inspiration behind every MartinLogan design. The Cadence reproduces front left, right, and center channels via the system’s dedicated tweeters and woofers. Surround channels are simulated using sophisticated digital signal processing that directs sound from the system’s tweeters and woofers throughout the room.

Additionally, for a fully authentic surround sound experience, the Cadence’s built in subwooferwireless transmitter and subwoofer wireless receiver makes connecting a dedicated subwoofer as simple as the push of a button.

A suite of integrates wireless streaming technologies, including DTS Play-Fi™, Apple AirPlay™, and Bluetooth™, guarantees compatibility with wireless streaming applications.

Anthem® Room Correction (ARC) allows you to analyze the acoustic response of your listening environment and adjust output of the soundbar for optimal performance.

The simple remote control quickly adjusts volume and selects inputs. The remote also allows you to easily switch between three discrete acoustic modes—’Night’ mode (to dial down the bass), ‘Bass+’ mode (for those moments requiring a little extra thunder), and a ‘Normal’ mode that restores normal levels.

PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

LOCATION

We recommend locating the soundbar centered directly above or below your video display. The soundbar menu allows you to optimize acoustic performance for either ‘on-wall’ or ‘on-shelf’ installations. You will learn more about accessing these options in the “Controls” section of this manual.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,

and stable platform (such as a table or audio/video rack), the soundbar can be placed directly on top.

When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar’s menu system to choose ‘Installation > Shelf Mount’.

Please note: This speaker is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed directly beneath or on top of a CRT television. The magnetic field will not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

ON-WALL INSTALLATION

The soundbar can be mounted above or below a television with the feedback display and rear connection panels orientated towards the bottom or top of the soundbar (depending on your specific installation requirements). The information shown on the soundbar display can be flipped to match your installation orientation.

WARNING! We strongly recommend locating the wall bracket so at least one of the screw locations attaches to a stud. WARNING! To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

Note: These instructions assume the mounting surface is standard wood frame and sheetrock construction. If you wish to mount to another type of surface, consult a bonded contractor.

Note: When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar’s menu system to choose ‘Installation > Wall Mount’.

CONNECTION

WARNING! Turn your soundbar off before making or breaking any signal connections! WARNING! The power cord should not be installed, removed, or left detached from the soundbar while the other end is connected to an AC power source.

POWER CONNECTION

The power cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the soundbar, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The soundbar also integrates a signal sensing power supply that automatically switches into standby mode after sensing no audio signal for approximately 20 minutes (this will only occur when the menu’s power setting is set to ‘Auto Standby’).

Fig. 4

If you remove your soundbar from the country of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent location is suitable before connecting and operating the soundbar. Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may occur to the soundbar if operation is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

Please note, if your soundbar is being used in an on-wall installation you may find it helpful to use 90° RCA adapters, 90° HDMI adapters, and/or low-profile HDMI cables when making signal connections.

When connecting your system, there are any variety of configurations that will work, and these methods will vary based on user preference.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

When utilizing the soundbar to reproduce audio, a 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, if you’re connecting your television audio out using a digital optical connection your television may require you to turn on the digital optical output and configure the output for 5.1 surround sound. Please refer to your television’s manual.

Connections are made at the signal input section on the rear electronics panel of the soundbar. Your soundbar features the following inputs:

• 3 x HDMI inputs (audio and video)

• 2 x Digital Optical inputs (audio only)

• 2 x Left/Right Analog (RCA) inputs (audio only)

Some users will choose to route all sources (such as DVD player, cable box, game console, media streamer, etc.) to their television via an HDMI or digital optical connection and use the television to switch between audio/video sources. The advantage of this connection method is that only one audio cable (either HDMI or digital optical cable) needs to connect between the television and the soundbar—and changing the input on your television will change the audio signal being sent to the soundbar (without having to change the input setting on the soundbar itself). Please note: many televisions are not capable of passing multi-channel encoded audio signals and will down-mix these signals to a 2-channel stereo mix before sending them to the television’s HDMI or digital output.

Most users will want to run cables directly from the source components to the soundbar and run an HDMI cable from the soundbar to the TV to pass

along the video signal. This allows the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded material.

Depending on your number of sources, the TV may be used for switching some sources while the primary source devices may be directly connected to the soundbar for guaranteed multi-channel sound. The soundbar’s HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows video to pass from the soundbar to the television and audio to pass from the television to the soundbar on the same HDMI cable. If you’re using your television as the source, choose the soundbar’s HDMI ARC input to hear any sounds originating from your television. Please note, not all telvisions are equipped with HDMI Audio Return Channel technology.

A few important points to remember when connecting your soundbar:

• HDMI or digital optical will provide the highest audio fidelity when connecting to the soundbar.

• If your soundbar is not producing sound or surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD player, or other multi-channel audio capable source, you may need to set the player’s digital audio output to “Bitstream” (also called “Raw”, “Direct Digital”, or “High Bit Rate”). If “PCM” is selected you’ll lose the multi-channel encoded sound. Some players only require you to turn PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded sound. Please refer to your player’s manual.

• In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your audio/video source component(s) directly to your television, you will likely need to run an additional digital optical cable between the source component and your soundbar. This extra connection will allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the soundbar. Many televisions that receive audio/ video source materials via HDMI do not pass multi-channel encoding when the audio is passed back out of the televisions digital optical output. Instead, televisions often pass a 2-channel mix of the sound, stripping out center, surround and sub-

woofer channels from the mix. This is not true for all televisions manufactured today, but we have found the many television on the market work this way. Using an HDMI connection between the television and soundbar will maximize the potential of successfully passing a multi-channel encoded audio signal from the television to the soundbar.

• Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output (such a portable media player docks or CD player) will often connect directly to the soundbar via the analog input.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your soundbar via DTS Play-Fi or Apple AirPlay, a LAN (local area network) connection is required. This connection can be established using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Refer to the DTS Play-Fi section of this manual for setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer to reproduce the LFE (low frequency effects) channel information in multi-channel recordings and/ or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings. Any aftermarket home theater subwoofer can be connected via the soundbar’s “LFE Out” RCA connection. We, of course, recommend using a superb MartinLogan subwoofer.

Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in subwoofer wireless transmitter and includes a subwoofer wireless receiver to simplify the connection and placement of a subwoofer within your room.

No Subwoofer

For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use the soundbar’s menu system and choose “Subwoofer > No Sub”. This sets the soundbar to reproduce the entire frequency range when playing content.

Wired Subwoofer Connection

Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for subwoofer connection, connect “Sub Out” from the soundbar to the “LFE In/Sub In” on the subwoofer.

Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘Subwoofer > Wired Sub’.

Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase controls to achieve proper blending with the soundbar. The subwoofer’s crossover should be set to “bypass”, “LFE”. For subwoofers that do not have a “bypass” or “LFE” crossover setting, we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection

Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘Subwoofer > Wireless Sub > Sync Subwoofer’. The soundbar will display ‘Push and Hold Button’.

Press and hold the subwoofer wireless receiver’s sync button. Connection is successful when the status light turns solid and the soundbar responds with ‘Synced’.

Please note: If a link is not established the wireless receiver’s LED will blink slowly and the soundbar will display ‘Failed’. Power the soundbar on and off, unplug the wireless receiver and plug it back in, and repeat syncing.

Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase controls. 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 highest setting.

Please note: The subwoofer wireless transmitter built in to this soundbar is not compatible with MartinLogan’s SWT-1 or SWT-2 subwoofer wire-

less technology. If your subwoofer has SWT-1 or SWT-2 technology built in you can still utilize the soundbar’s wireless functionality by connecting the wireless subwoofer receiver to the LFE input on your subwoofer, or connecting an SWT-1 or SWT-2 transmitter to the Sub Out on the soundbar.

Please note: If you decide to no longer use wireless, turn off the soundbar’s wireless transmitter by using the menu system and choosing ‘Subwoofer > Wireless Subwoofer > Turn Wireless Sub Off’ or ‘Subwoofer > No Sub’. Doing this will turn off the transmitter and automatically set the soundbar for no sub.

WARNING! When operating wirelessly, the subwoofer may be susceptible to RF interference in the 2.4GHz bandwidth from microwave ovens and wireless devices such as Wi-Fi systems, video game consoles, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and baby monitors. Generally, this issue (intermittent sound or slight popping noises) is easily resolved by physically separating problematic devices from one another—a distance as little as two feet will often alleviate the interference. In the case of microwave ovens, the interference will only occur when the microwave is operating.

IR OUTPUTS

These jacks accept IR emmiters with 3.5mm monostyle connectors. One IR emmiter is included with the soundbar.

Plug the IR emitter into either of the soundbar’s IR Out jacks and place the other end of the IR emitter over the IR sensor on another piece of equipment The use of an IR emitter allows the soundbar to pass IR signals from any remote control to a tethered device—allowing control of equipment in locations a remote would normally not reach.

AN INTRODUCTION TO AUDIO CONNECTIONS

HDMI: HDMI utilizes one cable to pass high-definition video signals and multi-

channel encoded digital audio between a source component and television

or soundbar. Your soundbar is equipped with multiple inputs. These inputs

should be used whenever possible for maximum fidelity.

Digital Optical: Digital optical utilizes one cable to pass digital audio

information (no video). A digital optical cable offers a high-quality digital

connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source

component and an audio output device.

Digital Coaxial: Digital coaxial utilizes one cable to pass digital audio information (no

video). A digital coaxial cable offers a high-quality digital connection and passes

multi-channel encoded audio between a source component and an audio output

device. Please note: The ‘RCA’ style end of a digital coaxial cable is identical

to those found on common left/right analog RCA cables. However, a cable

designed specifically for digital coaxial connections should be employed—do not use a standard left/right analog RCA style cable because it will likely not be up to the task of handling the high bit-rate necessary for a reliable digital connection.

Left/Right Analog RCA: These cables are used to pass audio information (no video).

An analog RCA cable can only pass a single channel of audio information

between a source component and audio output device. To achieve two-chan-

nels of audio (left/right), you will find that analog RCA cables come bundled as a stereo pair (two connectors on each end). The Auxiliary input on this

speaker can accept an analog stereo signal through a cable using a 3.5mm stereo “headphone style” jack. If you are connecting this speaker to a device (such as a dock or CD player) with left/right RCA analog outputs, you will need a special cable with a 3.5mm ‘headphone style’ jack on one end and left/right RCA jacks on the other end.

Analog Left/Right RCA to Stereo 3.5mm: Analog cables are used to pass

audio information (no video). Older gaming consoles, portable media player

docks, VCRs and similar source components (which are not capable of play-

ing multi-channel encoded content) will often offer connection only through

left/right analog RCA cables. To connect to these devices use a Left/Right

RCA to stereo 3.5mm cable.

AN INTRODUCTION AUDIO STREAMING CONNECTIONS

Ethernet: This cable allows you to physically connect a device to a LAN (local area

network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this

speaker using various protocols (such as Play-Fi

Fi) connection is used to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use an

Ethernet connection. However, in some installations, a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet

connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

Wi-Fi: This connection technology wirelessly connects a device to a LAN (local area network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this speaker using

various protocols (such as Play-Fi or AirPlay). If an Ethernet connection is used to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use a Wi-Fi connection. In some installations a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

Bluetooth: This wireless connection technology allows a wide variety of devices to connect to an audio output device and stream audio. Bluetooth establishes a connection directly with an audio output device and does not require either device to be connected to a LAN.

CHANGING THE REMOTE’S BATTERY

The remote control for your speaker uses two AAA type batteries. Access the battery compartment by using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw located on the bottom of the remote.

Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

PROGRAMMING A SECOND REMOTE

This soundbar can be programmed to respond to a second remote. See “The Menu System” section of this manual for programming instructions.

Fig. 9

Please note:

There may be remote controls that the soundbar cannot learn or that the soundbar can not learn correctly. Due to the number of available remote controls, it is impossible to advise which will or will not work.

Please note: When learning from a second remote, you will likely find it does not have buttons that directly correspond with all available soundbar commands. Not all soundbar commands have to be programmed. Some remote controls offer ‘function’ buttons (F1, F2, etc.) that can be used to program unique soundbar commands such as ‘NITE.MD’ or ‘OPTIC’.

Please note:

Some remote controls offer discrete ‘power on’ and ‘power off’ buttons. Some offer only a single button to toggle power on and off. The learning function of the soundbar allows you to program for either scenario.

Service > Factory Reset > In Store > Yes:

Activate by pressing the enter button. The soundbar will respond with ‘Resetting’. Once complete, your soundbar will be reset to factory default Home settings. After a reset has been performed, there is no way to recover the previous settings.

ANALOG INPUT

Digitally encoded sound information cannot be transmitted to an analog input. This connection method is adequate for most devices that only offer two channels of output (such as VCRs, CD players, older game consoles, or portable media player docks). Although most surround sound capable devices, such as DVD and Blu-ray players, offer both analog and digital connections, the digital connection should always be employed. If a source device is connected via an analog left/ right RCA connection, the 5.1-channel encoded audio content will not be sent to the soundbar.

DTS PLAY-FI® AND NETWORK CONNECTION

NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

You must have the following to connect your soundbar to your network:

• A wireless router.

• A high-speed internet connection for reliable

playback of internet based music services.

• Have your network password ready before

connecting the soundbar to your network.

TIP! If wireless connectivity is weak or not available, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable.

TIP! Your soundbar communicates with wireless networks that support 802.11g/n. For best performance, a network that supports 802.11n wireless technology is recommended. A network supporting 802.11b may be used, but it will effectively stream to only one device equipped with DTS Play-Fi

. Your soundbar communicates over a 2.4 GHz wireless band, however, it can become slow in locations, such as apartments, where many routers are in operation. Consequently, your soundbar is capable of jumping onto a 5 GHz band on dual band wireless routers.

Wi-Fi STATUS LED

The Wi-Fi Status LED tells you what your soundbar is doing.

• Rapid Blinking: booting up.

• Blinking: connecting to a wireless router.

• Slow Pulse: Access Point Setup Mode.

• Two Blinks: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Mode.

• Solid: wirelessly connected to a router.

• Off: connected to a router using an Ethernet

connection.

PLAYING AUDIO USING PLAY-FI

Note: Future updates to the DTS Play-Fi application may change functionality.

1. Launch the DTS Play-Fi app on your mobile device or PC (located in the system tray).

2. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the Play-Fi app, select your music source. You can choose from your personal music library, Internet Radio, or from select internet music services. PC Users: Any audio content from your computer can be streamed using Play-Fi.

If you have more than one Play-Fi® speaker connected to your network, you will be prompted to select the speaker to which you want to stream.

CONTROLLING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS

If you have more than one Play-Fi speaker connected to your network, you can simultaneously stream the same audio to multiple speakers.

1. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the

app, press the Play-Fi logo in the lower corner

of the app. PC Users: open the Play-Fi program using the icon in your system tray.

Select additional devices to play audio from.

2. PC Users: The free version of the Windows app may not allow streaming to multiple speakers. An upgraded version of the DTS Play-Fi app, with this capability, can be purchased from the DTS website.

Note: 8 Play-Fi speakers can be synced to play the same audio content at the same time. We recommend up to 32 Play-Fi speakers on a network for the best experience, but the only limit to connected devices is how many your router can support.

TIP! Primary and Secondary Speakers

When streaming audio content to multiple devices, you will be asked to assign them to two categories: primary and secondary devices. The DTS Play-Fi

module requires a primary device be selected. This maximizes synchronization between multiple devices simultaneously streaming the same content.

Select the DTS Play-Fi as your primary device. Secondary devices connect to your primary device, so if you disable your primary device, you will need to select a new primary device before audio resumes on your secondary devices.

ADDITIONAL PLAY-FI FEATURES

New versions of the Play-Fi app will add features not mentioned in this manual. Please refer to the app and related documentation for details on new and enhanced features such as streaming different audio content to multiple zones and grouping of two discrete speakers for stereo (left/right) playback.

APP UPDATE

Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room itself still has a dramatic impact on any system’s sound, an impact more profound than that of any individual component. Various solutions have fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has solved the problem of “the room.” Until ARC.

Using proprietary processes and the power of your PC, the ARC system analyzes each speaker’s inroom sound, then computes the required correction to yield optimal performance from every speaker. It’s a process that takes approximately 15 minutes. Anthem’s approach is a true audiophile solution to the problems of the room.

IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent. A noisy computer fan, a dishwasher or microwave running, etc. can negatively affect ARC’s measurements.

How to Use ARC Technology:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can my soundbar be used as a dedicated center channel?

No. The soundbar is designed to work as a 2-channel stereo or multi-channel surround sound playback device.

Why is my soundbar not reproducing multi-channel (surround sound) audio?

This could be caused by any number of things. Review the “Connection” section of this manual for a better understanding of recommended connection methods and possible options that might impact the soundbar’s ability to receive multi-channel encoded audio from your television and other audio/video source components.

Will this soundbar decode Dolby

TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™?

No. This soundbar will not decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™. If your audio source (most likely a Blu-ray player) supports either of these formats, you should configure it to default to the Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround™ encoded sound track.

How do I connect the soundbar if my television does not have HDMI or digital optical outputs?

If your television has analog outputs these can be used instead. For a digital connection connect the digital audio output of your cable box (or DVD, Blu-ray, game console, etc.) directly to the soundbar using a HDMI or digital optical cable. A direct digital connection with a source component is always ideal

Can I use other cables other than those provided with the soundbar?

Cables included with the soundbar are intended to get you started. You may find it necessary to augment your system with additional cables or replace the included cables with cables of different length.

Can I mount this soundbar on the wall with a mounting bracket that pivots?

MartinLogan does not provide a pivoting wallbracket for this soundbar. Aftermarket options may exist, but we can not recommend or guarantee a specific brand or model.

Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers?

We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest trying 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 television in my A/V system?

Yes, but only with CRT televisions. This soundbar is not magnetically shielded and should be kept at least 2 feet away from a CRT television. LCD and plasma televisions will not be affected.

How can I remove the grille cloth from the soundbar?

The soundbar grille cover is not removable.

How do I clean my soundbar?

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.

Soundbar won’t learn remote codes from aftermarket remote

• Review the “Menu Option: Learn” section of this manual.

• Hold the remote 12 inches (30 cm) from the soundbar during the learning process.

• Press the appropriate button on the second remote four times.

• If the soundbar has already learned a remote code and you are attempting to program the same code to a second function the soundbar will respond with “Fail”.

• There may be remote controls that the soundbar cannot learn or that the soundbar can not learn correctly. Due to the number of available remote controls, it is impossible to advise which will or will not work.

• Check the user manual and/or manufacturer’s web-site for your aftermarket remote to see if MartinLogan is supported. If so, instead of ‘learning’ with the soundbar, use the code provided by the manufacturer to program the aftermarket remote itself.

Sound is coming from both my soundbar and my television

• When utilizing the soundbar to reproduce audio, 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 to “mute” the television.

The soundbar is too quiet even when the soundbar is turned up

• Check that the output on your television or other source components are not connected via

Soundbar remote won’t work

• Replace the remote control’s batteries with matching batteries.

• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation.

• If new batteries do not fix the problem, you may have a faulty remote. Call MartinLogan customer service at 785-749-0133 for details.

When using an aftermarket remote, the soundbar turns off when the television turns on

• Turn the television on. Manually press the Power button on the soundbar so that both

the soundbar and television are both on at the same time.

No sound coming from external sub

• Check that the external sub is turned on.

• Check that the soundbar is configured for a wired or wireless subwoofer connection. Refer to the “Subwoofer Connection” section of this manual.

• If utilizing a wired connection, check that the subwoofer cables are attached to the Sub Out connection on the soundbar and to the appropriate input on the subwoofer.

• If utilizing a wireless connection, attempt to re-sync the wireless connection. Refer to the “Subwoofer Connection” section of this manual. If a sync attempt has failed, you may need to power down both the soundbar and subwoofer wireless receiver before trying to re-sync.

• If utilizing a wireless connection, move the subwoofer closer to the soundbar.

• Turn the soundbar off and on using the remote control or control panel power button.

• Unplug the sound bar, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.

External sub is too quiet

• Turn up the volume on the subwoofer.

• Adjust the bass level setting in the soundbar menu system.

• Try moving the subwoofer to a different location in the listening room.

My soundbar is not behaving as expected.

• Turn the soundbar off and on using the remote control or control panel power button.

• Unplug the sound bar, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
