Bass Control Knob
The Bass Control knob significantly adjusts the level under
100Hz by ±10dB. This is an area where peaks and dips of dif-
ferent amplitudes often manifest in real environments. This
setting is dependent on room size and construction, system con-
figuration and personal preference.
Light Control
The light control allows the Montis’s lights to be turned on and
off.
Signal Input
These binding posts provides a place to connect the signal that
drives the XStat ESL transducer and the PoweredForce woofer.
Status Light
The Montis is equipped with a multi-color LED to indicate the
current status of the PoweredForce woofer. The following list
explains the meaning of the different colors:
No color: No power. The Montis is not plugged in.
Blue: Play mode. This indicates the Montis detects an audio sig-
nal and has automatically switched into play mode.
Red: Standby mode. This indicates the Montis has detected no
audio signal for approximately 15 minutes and has automatically
switched into standby mode.
Flashing Red/Blue: Initializing or Safe mode. This indicates that
the Montis is initializing. This also indicates if the Montis’s tem-
perature has exceeded nominal operating range. If the Montis
overheats, please allow the Montis to cool and automatically
reset.
AC Power Connection
Because your MartinLogan Montis speakers use an inter-
nal power supply to energize their electrostatic cells and
PoweredForce woofer, they must be connected to an AC power
source.
