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 Bravado speaker and Forte
amplifier to deliver exceptional audio performance for
wireless streaming applications, easily integrated and
installed in a diverse variety of environments.
Anthem
®
Room Correction (ARC) allows you to
analyze the acoustic response of your listening envi-
ronment and adjust output of the Bravado and Forte
for optimal performance.
The Forte amplifier features two channels of dedicated
class-D amplification allowing you to bring wireless
streaming to your existing loudspeakers.
The Bravado speaker produces an enveloping field of
richly detailed audio incorporating two tweeters (fea-
turing MartinLogan’s award-winning Folded Motion
technology), a high-performance woofer, and dedi-
cated class-D amplification.
Additionally, for a fully authentic audio experience,
the Bravado and Forte make connecting a dedicat-
ed subwoofer simple.
We recommend locating the speaker and ampli-
fier on a surface that provides a wide, level, and
stable platform such as a table or audio/video
rack. Please note, this Bravado is not magnetically shielded and therefore should not be placed direct-
ly beneath or on top of a CRT (cathode ray tube)
television. The magnetic field of the speaker will
not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

AC POWER CONNECTION
The power cord should be firmly inserted into the
AC power receptacle on the rear of the wireless
product, and then to any convenient AC wall out-
let. If you remove your wireless product from the
country of original sale, be certain that the AC
power supplied in any subsequent location is suit-
able before connecting and operating the device.
Substantially impaired performance or severe
damage may occur to the speaker if operation is
attempted from an incorrect AC power source.
SIGNAL CONNECTION
Connections are made at the signal input section on
the rear electronics panel of the wireless product.
Your speaker features the following audio inputs:
•
Ethernet connection: used for streaming audio
from DTS Play-Fi
®
Apple AirPlay.
• Wi-fi connection: used for streaming audio
from DTS Play-Fi or Apple AirPlay.
• Analog In: On the Bravado speaker, this input
will accept a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone
style plug. On the Forte amplifier, this input will
accept standard stereo RCA connections.
WARNING!
Turn your device off
before making or breaking any sig-
nal connections!
WARNING!
The
power cord should not be installed,
removed, or left detached from the speaker while
the other end is connected to an AC power source.
