Step 1: Unpacking
Following the instructions printed on the product carton,
remove your new MartinLogan speaker from its packaging.
Retain the packaging in a safe, dry place for future use.
Step 2: Placement
Place the speaker at the desired location. Please see the
Installation section (pages 9–10) for more details.
Step 3: Power Connection (AC) (see warning)
Your Feature speaker requires power to energize its elec-
trostatic panel and internal amplifier. Using the power
cords provided, plug first to the power in receptacle on
the rear panel of the speaker, making sure that you have
made a firm connection, and then to the wall outlet. Please
see the Connections section (page 7) for more details.
Step 4: Signal Connection
Attach your speaker using either the Line Level input or the
Speaker Level input on the rear panel of your speaker.
High quality cables, available from your specialty dealer,
are recommended and will give you superior performance.
Use the best cable(s) you can.
When using the Speaker Level inputs be consistent when
connecting speaker leads to the terminals on the back of
the Feature speakers. Take great care to assign the same
color to the (+) terminal on both the left, right, and center
channels. If bass is weak and you cannot discern a tight,
coherent image, you may need to reverse the (+) and
(–) leads on one side to bring the system into proper polar-
ity. Spade connectors are suggested for optimum contact
and ease of installation.
For detailed setup instructions, please turn to the
Connections section (Page 7) of this manual for more
details.
Step 5: Listen and Enjoy
Now, you may turn on your system and enjoy!
