RIEF

We know you are eager to hear your Script i loudspeakers,

so this section is provided to allow fast and easy set up.

Once you have them 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 Script i’s, please refer to the Installation

or Operation 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 Script i speakers from their packing.

Step 2: Mounting

Mount each Script i at its desired location on your front,

side, or back wall(s). Please see the Mounting the Script i

section (pages 6–10) of this manual for details on installation

and determining the proper mounting height.

Step 3: Power Connection

(see warning)

The Script i requires power to energize its electrostatic

panel. Plug the provided power supply first into the Power

In power receptacle on the rear panel of the speaker,

making sure that you have made a firm connection, and

then to a convenient wall outlet. Please see the Operations

section (pages 4–5) 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 and ease of installation.

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 Script i: take

great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on

both the left and right channels. If bass is nonexistent 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 polarity. 

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!

The lightning bolt flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
