FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions Troubleshooting How do I clean my speakers? Just use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your speakers. We recommend a specialty cloth (available at the Xtatic shop at www.martinlogan. com) that cleans your speakers better than anything else we have tried. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers. Output • Check that all your system components are turned on.
