INTRODUCTIONAND 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 Motion Vision
X 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
Motion Vision X produces an enveloping field of
richly detailed audio for both music and movies
via three tweeters incorporating MartinLogan’s
award-winning Folded Motion technology, four
high-performance woofers, and seven channels of
dedicated amplification representing 100 watts of
total system power.
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 Motion Vision X 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 Motion Vision X’s built in SWT-2
wireless transmitter makes connecting a dedicated
compatible MartinLogan subwoofer as simple as
the push of a button—no wires necessary.
The Motion Vision X’s 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.
PLACEMENTAND 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,
6
use the soundbar’s menu system to choose
‘INSTAL > ON.SHLF’ [ON SHELF].
Please note: This soundbar is not magnetically
shielded and therefore should not be placed directly
beneath or on top of a CRT (cathode ray tube)
television. The magnetic field of the soundbar will
not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.
ON-WALL INSTALLATION
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.

If no stud is found: use the center most screw
location and drill a pilot hole for the wall anchor.
Install a wall anchor at this location. If a wall stud is found: drill a pilot hole into the stud.
4 Using a screw, attach the wall bracket to the
wall. DO NOT tighten (fig. 2b).
5 Using a stud finder, determine if a wall stud
is directly behind any of the remaining screw
locations (fig. 2a).
If no stud is found: use the top and bottom
center-most screw locations. If a wall stud is found: use the top and bottom screw locations
with a stud behind them.
Fig. 2a
Use a level to square the wall bracket and mark
the remaining pilot hole locations (fig. 2b).
6 Remove the wall bracket or pivot to access the
remaining screw locations (fig. 2b).
If no stud is found: drill pilot holes and install
wall anchors. If a wall stud is found: drill pilot
holes into the stud.
7 Using the screws, attach the wall bracket to the
wall. DO NOT fully tighten.
8 Use a level to square the wall bracket. Tighten
all screws (fig. 2b).

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
off after sensing no audio signal for 30 minutes
(this will only occur when the menu’s power setting
is set to ‘Auto’).
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.
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, your television may require you to
turn on the digital optical or digital coaxial output
and configure the output for 5.1 surround sound.
Please refer to your television’s manual.
9
Page 10
Connections are made at the signal input section
on the rear electronics panel of the soundbar. Your
soundbar features three wired audio inputs:
• 1 x Digital Optical inputs
• 1 x Digital Coaxial input
• 1 x Left/Right Analog (3.5mm) input
When connecting your system, there are any
variety of configurations that will work, and these
methods will vary based on user preference.
Some users will choose to route all sources (such
as DVD player, cable box, game console, media
streamer, etc.) to their television via a digital (optical or
coaxial) connection and use the television to switch
between audio/video sources. The advantage of
this connection method is that only one audio cable
(either a digital optical or digital coaxial 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: most 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 digital output.
Most users will want to run cables directly from
the source to the soundbar while simultaneously
running HDMI from each source to the TV for the
video signal. This has the advantage of allowing
the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded
material. However, some newer source devices
turn off their optical/coaxial outputs when their
HDMI output is used.
Depending on your number of sources, the TV may be
used for switching some sources while audio output
from the primary source devices may be directly connected to the soundbar for multi-channel sound.
A few important points to remember when connecting
your soundbar:
• Digital optical and digital coaxial connections
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
Fig. 5

Page 11
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 to your television,
you will likely need to run an additional digital
optical or coaxial cable between the source component and your soundbar. This extra connection
AN INTRODUCTIONTO 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 receiver. Your soundbar is not equipped with an HDMI input. However,
in many installations you will want to use HDMI to connect a video source
component to your television (to pass video) and an additional digital optical
or digital coaxial cable (to pass audio) to the soundbar.
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.
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 playing
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.
Play-Fi
®
: This audio streaming technology allows a wide variety of devices
to connect to an audio output device and stream audio. Play-Fi establishes a
connection directly with an audio output device and requires both devices to
be connected to a local area network (via a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection).
11
Page 12
will allow for multi-channel encoded audio to
reach 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 FOR DTS PLAY-FI®
To stream audio to your soundbar via DTS Play-Fi,
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 .1/LFE 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
SWT-2 subwoofer wireless transmitter compatible
with select MartinLogan subwoofers. Subwoofers
utilizing SWT-2 technology will reference this wireless
system on the connection panel.
Please note: When utilizing a wireless connection,
it is not necessary to use the SWT-2 wireless transmitter
included with the subwoofer.
No Subwoofer
For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use
the soundbar’s menu system and choose “SUB >
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 ‘SUB
> WIRED’.
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
Press the subwoofer’s sync button and hold for 3
seconds. The subwoofer’s LED will blink quickly.
Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘SUB
> WIRELS > SYNC’. The soundbar will display
‘PSH.BTN’ [PUSH BUTTON].
If pairing has completed successfully, the subwoofer’s
LED will stop blinking and remain on and the soundbar will display ‘SYNCED’. Please note: If a link
is not established after 30 seconds, the subwoofer’s
LED will start blinking slowly and the soundbar will
display ‘FAILED’. Repeat if syncing fails.
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: MartinLogan once utilized a
wireless subwoofer connection system named
“SWT-1”. Subwoofers equipped with SWT-1 tech-

nology are not capable of wireless connectivity
with this soundbar—a wired connection will work
for these subwoofers.
Please note: If you decide to no longer use
wireless, turn off the soundbar’s wireless transmitter
by using the menu system and choosing ‘SUB >
WIRELS > TRN.OFF’ [TURN OFF] or ‘SUB > 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.
Using a MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer
When configuring your subwoofer we recommend beginning with the following settings:
Low-pass: Bypass
Phase: 180
Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o’clock to
1-o’clock position)
IR INPUT
This mono 3.5mm jack allows you to connect after
market IR repeater systems to the soundbar.
SURROUND SOUND DECODING
This soundbar is capable of detecting and automatically decoding multi-channel audio formats,
such as those found on DVD and Blu-ray movies.
DIGITAL INPUTS (Optical and Coaxial)
When utilizing a digital connection, the soundbar
can process the following formats: Dolby
DTS Digital Surround™, and digital stereo.
®
Digital,
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.

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
device with the strongest
signal 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.

NAVIGATING THE MENU**
The menu is navigated using the ‘up/down/left/
right/enter’ navigation system. Up and Down are
used to cycle through the menu and submenu options.
Right or Enter are used to access a submenu or to
select an option. Left is used to exit a submenu and
go back one level (fig. 10 and fig. 11).

connections. The soundbar can connect to only one
wireless subwoofer. However, it is possible to connect multiple wired subwoofers if you utilize a ‘Y’
splitter attached to the subwoofer cable, or if your
subwoofer offers an output designed to daisy chain
multiple subs.

27
Page 28
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
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(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.
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 a digital (optical or
coaxial) output?
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 digital (optical or coaxial) cable. A
direct digital connection with a source component
is always ideal
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.
Can I use other cables other than those
provided with the soundbar?
The 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.
28
Page 29
I have a MartinLogan subwoofer with
a built-in SWT-2 wireless receiver. Do I
have to use the wireless connection?
No. MartinLogan subs with built in SWT-2 receivers may still be attached via a wired connection.
Can I use this soundbar as a dedicated
center channel speaker?
This soundbar is not designed to operate as a dedicated center channel speaker.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING
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 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.
I’m having trouble using the Play-Fi® app.
