ConneCtion
WARNING! Turn your amplifier
off before making or breaking any
signal connections!
These speakers are designed with easy-to-use
push-style binding posts that accept bare wire or
pins (fig. 2). Additionally, they will accept banana
plugs (fig. 3)
Assign the same color to the (+) and (–) terminals
on both the speaker and the amplifier. Make certain
that all connections are tight.

WARNING! Installation other
than that described in the body of
this document requires specific
documentation from MartinLogan.

BREAK IN
Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90
dB (moderate listening levels) before any critical
listening.
INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE
If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,
and stable platform, the speaker can be placed
directly on top. When using the speaker in this
configuration, affix the pads to the bottom of the
speaker at the rear contact points (fig. 4). Note: This
speaker is not magnetically shielded and therefore
4
should not be placed directly beside or atop a
CRT television.
Toe-In: When installed on a surface and used as
front channels we recommend aiming your speakers towards the primary listening position.
INSTALLING ON A WALL
If the speaker is being mounted approximately AT
EAR LEVEL, the speaker should be oriented with
the tweeter at top. This will disperse sound directly
towards the desired listening area (fig. 5).
If the speaker is being mounted ABOVE EAR LEVEL,
the speaker should be oriented with the tweeter at
bottom. This will disperse the sound down at a 20°
angle towards the listening area (fig. 5).
Note: These instructions assume the mounting
surface is standard wood frame and sheet rock
construction. If you wish to mount to another type
of surface, consult a bonded contractor.
Required hardware (included):
• (1) Installation template
• (1) Wall bracket
• (1) Wall bracket spacer (Motion 4 only)
• (1) Shoulder bolt
• (2) Wall pads

3 Locate mounting location using a level and the
installation template.
4 Mark the pilot hole locations.
5 Drill the pilot holes using a 1/8-inch drill bit. If
a pilot hole DOES NOT hit a stud, widen that
pilot hole using a 1/4-inch drill bit and install
a wall anchor at that location (fig. 8).
6 Using the 1.5-inch Phillips screws, mount the
wall brackets as shown. Please note, only the
MartinLogan Motion 4 requires the additional
wall bracket spacer (fig. 8).
7 Hang the speaker, guiding the wall mount bolt
into the wall bracket’s keyhole.

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 electronics 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 is playing.
• Check speaker wires and connections.
• Check all interconnecting cables.
• If you are unable to resolve your problem,
please contact your dealer or MartinLogan customer service (see below).
Is there likely to be any interaction
between my speakers and the television 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 problem. Filtering of UV rays through glass will greatly
reduce the negative effects.

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:
1 The appointed MartinLogan distributor for any
given country is responsible for warranty servicing
only on units distributed by or through it in that country in accordance with its applicable warranty.
2 Should a MartinLogan product require servicing 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 distributor’s local servicing policies, but all cost of repairs
(parts, labor, transportation) must be borne by the
owner of the MartinLogan product.
3 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.
