Signal Connection (Outputs); Network Connection; Subwoofer Connection - MartinLogan Unison User Manual

Please note, if a digital signal is detected (Digital
In) Unison will automatically select the digital input.
When no digital signal is detected it defaults to
Analog In.

SIGNAL CONNECTION (OUTPUTS)

• Analog Out: this output will accept standard ste-
reo RCA connections. Connect one end to the
"Analog Out" jacks on the Unison. Connect the
opposite end to the RCA Input jacks on your pre-
amplifier, receiver, or amplifier.
• Digital Out: this output will accept standard digi-
tal optical (Toslink) connections. Digital optical
will provide the highest audio fidelity when
connecting to your system. Connect one end to
the "Digital Out" jacks on the Unison. Connect
the opposite end to a Digital Optical Input jack
on your preamplifier, receiver, or amplifier.
• Trigger Out: If you have an external source
component (such as an amplifier) with built in
trigger controls, you may wish to turn them on
and off with the Unison. Connect a 3.5mm
mono male-to-male (headphone style) cable
from the Unison to the component. If control-
ling multiple devices, a splitter may be used to
extend trigger control to multiple devices. The
Unison trigger output is 12V.
Please note, when utilizing this speaker to repro-
duce audio from a television via the speaker's
Auxiliary (digital or analog) connection, the tele-
vision'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." Please refer to your
television's manual.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your speaker or amp, a LAN
(local area network) connection is required. This
8
connection can be established using Wi-Fi or
Ethernet. Refer to the wireless setup section of this
manual for setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer
to enhance bass performance. A subwoofer can
be connected via the "Left/Right Out" RCA con-
nections on the Unison. We recommend using a
superb MartinLogan subwoofer.
Using high-quality RCA style cables designed for
subwoofer connection, connect the "RCA Analog
Outputs" from the Unison to the RCA "Left/Right
In" on the subwoofer. Please note, this requires the
connected subwoofer to have discrete left/right
inputs. If you are already using the RCA Analog
Outputs to connect the Unison to an amplifier
or other device, you will need to utilize RCA "Y
cables" to split the output.
Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how
to properly adjust the sub's level and phase con-
trols to achieve proper blending with the speaker.
If you are not running ARC™ (Anthem Room
Correction) the subwoofer's crossover should be set to
100Hz. If you will be running ARC, set the subwoof-
er's crossover to "bypass" or "LFE" and for subwoofers
that do not have a "bypass" or "LFE" crossover setting,
adjust the crossover to its highest setting. Run ARC
after connecting and adjusting the subwoofer.
Using a MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer:
If using a MartinLogan Dynamo family subwoofer,
we recommend beginning with the following sub-
woofer settings:
• Low-pass: Bypass
• Phase: 0°
• Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o'clock to
1-o'clock position)
