The Script i hybrid speaker system consists of a broad-

range single element electrostatic transducer integrated

with a quick-response woofer. This approach takes advan-

tage of the benefits that both technologies have to offer.

Dispersion is a controlled 30 degrees. This was achieved

by curving the electrostatic transducer element itself, an

elegantly simple solution.

Your Script i speakers are provided with an automatic Limited

90 Day Warranty coverage. 

You have the option, at no addi-

tional charge, to receive a limited 5 year warranty coverage.

To obtain the limited 5 year warranty coverage you need to

complete and return the certificate of registration, includ-

ed with your speakers, and provide a copy of your dealer

receipt, to MartinLogan within 30 days of purchase.

For your convenience MartinLogan also offers online warranty

registration at www.martinlogan.com.

MartinLogan may not honor warranty service claims unless

we have a completed warranty registration card on file!

If you did not receive a certificate of registration with your

new Script i speakers you cannot be assured of having

received new units. If this is the case, please contact your

authorized MartinLogan dealer.

Service

Should you be using your MartinLogan product in a country

other than the one in which it was originally purchased,

we ask that you note the following:

1 The appointed MartinLogan distributor for any given

country is responsible for warranty servicing only on

units distributed by or through it in that country in

accordance with its applicable warranty.

2 Should a MartinLogan product require servicing in a

country other than the one in which it was originally

purchased, the end user may seek to have repairs performed

by the nearest MartinLogan distributor, subject to that

distributor’s local servicing policies, but all cost of

repairs (parts, labor, transportation) must be born by the

owner of the MartinLogan product.

3 If, after owning your speakers for six months, you

relocate to a country other than the one in which

you purchased your speakers, your warranty may be

transferable. Contact MartinLogan for details.

Serial Numbers

The serial number for each of your Script i loudspeakers is

located behind the grille cloth and above the woofer. Each

individual speaker has a unique serial number.
