MartinLogan SCRIPT i, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 4 / 28

Your Script i’s use external low-voltage power supplies to
energize their electrostatic panels. For this reason the proper
low-voltage power supplies are provided. A power supply
should be firmly inserted into the ‘Power In’ receptacle on
the rear connection panel of each speaker, then to any
convenient AC wall outlet. Your Script i’s integrate a signal
sensing circuit which will switch the Script i off after a few
minutes of no music signal, and requires less than two sec-
onds to recharge the panels when a music signal is present.
Your Script i speakers are provided with a power supply
for the power service supplied in the country of original
consumer sale. The AC power rating applicable to a par-
ticular unit is specified both on the packing carton and on
the power supply.
If you remove your Script i speakers from the country
of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any
subsequent location is suitable before connecting the low-
voltage power supply. Substantially impaired performance
or severe damage may occur to a Script i speaker if opera-
tion is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.
WARNING! The power supply should not be
installed, removed, or left detached from the speak-
er while connected to an AC power source.
Signal Connection
Use the best speaker cables you can. The length and type of
speaker cable used in your system will have an audible
effect. Under no circumstance should a wire of gauge higher
(thinner) than #16 be used. In general, the longer the length
used, the greater the necessity of a lower gauge, and the
lower the gauge, the better the sound, with diminishing
returns setting in around #8 to #12.
A variety of speaker cables are now available whose
manufacturers claim better performance over standard
heavy gauge wire. We have verified this in many cases, and
the improvements available are often more noticeable
than the differences between wires of different gauge. The
effects of cables may be masked if the equipment is not of
the highest quality.
We also recommend, if possible, that short runs of speaker
cable connect the power amplifier and speaker and that
high quality long interconnect cables be used to connect
the preamplifier and power amplifier. This results in the
power amplifiers being close to the speakers, which may
be practically or cosmetically difficult, but if the length of
the speaker cables can be reduced to a few meters, sonic
advantages may be obtained.
Connections are done at the Signal Input section on the
rear electronics panel of the Script i (see figure 1). Use spade
connectors for optimum contact. Make certain that all of
your connections are tight.
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 speaker and
the amplifier.
WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making
or breaking any signal connections!
