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.
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.
