Please note, when utilizing this speaker to reproduce
audio from a television via the speaker's Auxiliary

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"

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your speaker, a LAN (local
area network) connection is required. This connec-
tion 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. Subwoofers can
be connected via the speaker's "Sub Out" RCA
connection. We recommend using a superb
MartinLogan subwoofer.
Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for
subwoofer connection, connect "Sub Out" from the
speaker to the "LFE In/Sub In" on the subwoofer.
On the back panel of the speaker, set the Sub
®
Out button to "On" (in its "on" state the button will
be depressed—in its "off" state the button will be
extended). When the Sub Out is turned on, the
deep bass output of the speaker will be reduced
(to optimize performance) and bass information will
be sent directly to your external subwoofer for a
deeper, extended, overall bass response.
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.
When Sub Out is set to "On," the speaker will
handle the crossover setting to the subwoofer,
