RIEF
We know you are eager to hear your new Theater center
channel, so this section is provided to allow fast and easy
set up. Once you have it operational, please take the time to
read, in depth, the rest of the information in this manual. It
will give you perspective on how to attain the greatest
possible performance from this most exacting transducer.
If you should experience any difficulties in the setup or
operation of your Theater speaker, please refer to the
Operation or Installation sections of this manual.
Should you encounter a persistent problem that cannot be
resolved, please contact your authorized MartinLogan
dealer. They will provide you with the appropriate technical
analysis to alleviate the situation.
WARNING!
•Hazardous voltages exist inside—do not
remove cover
•Refer servicing to a qualified technician
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this module to moisture
•Turn amplifier off and unplug speaker
should any abnormal conditions occur
•Do not operate if there is any visual
damage to the electrostatic panel element
•Do not over drive speaker beyond its rated power
Step 1: Unpacking
Remove your new Theater speaker from the packing.
Step 2: Placement
Place the Theater directly between your front left and
right speakers and point it directly at the listening position.
Please see the Installation section (page 6) of this manual
for more details.
Step 3: Power Connection (AC)
(see warning)
MartinLogan speakers require AC power to energize their
electrostatic cells. Using the AC power cords provided,
plug the Theater in first to the AC power 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
Operations section (pages 5) of this manual for more details.
Step 4: Signal Connection
Use the best speaker cables you can. Higher quality cables,
available from your specialty dealer, are recommended
and will give you superior performance. Spade connectors
are suggested for optimum contact.
Attach your speaker cables to the Signal Input section on
the rear panel. Be consistent when connecting speaker
leads to the terminals on the back of the Theater: take great
care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both
the speaker and the amplifier. Please see the Operations
section (pages 5) of this manual for more details.
Step 5: Listen and Enjoy
Now, you may turn on your system and enjoy!
