Connection WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making or breaking any signal connections! 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.

SINGLE WIRE CONNECTION (MOTION 60XTi/50XTi/40i/35XTi/20i) Please take note of the jumper clips installed under the binding posts. These clips attach the high-frequency and low-frequency sections of the crossover together. Leaving these in place, connect the (+) wire from your amplifier to either red (+) binding post and the (–) wire from your amplifier to either black (–) binding post (Fig. 1b).
PAGE 10
Horizontal Passive Bi-Amplification Horizontal bi-amping allows you to use two different types, models or brands of amplifiers (i.e. tubes on top, transistor on the bottom). However, we recommend that you use two identical amplifiers (i.e. same brand and model). If you must use two different amplifiers, it is essential that they have the same gain or that one of the two have adjustable gain so that you can match their gain characteristics.
PAGE 11
Assembly and Placement WARNING! Installation other than that described in the body of this document requires specific documentation from MartinLogan. BREAK IN Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90 dB (moderate listening levels) before any critical listening.
PAGE 12
TOE-IN To achieve superior stereo imaging we recommend that you aim them towards the primary listening position. INSTALLING THE GRILL COVERS To install this speaker’s magnetic grill covers simply move them into place (Fig. 6). SOLID FOOTING (MOTION 60XTi/40i/20i) With the use of the included outriggers and spikes, your speakers will be firmly planted on the floor, bass will tighten, and imaging will become more coherent. To avoid floor damage, do not implement the spikes until you are secure in the Fig.
PAGE 13
5) Tighten the jam nut snugly by hand. Do not over tighten the nut. 6) Right the speaker. Caution: Make sure your hands and any cabling are clear of the spikes. Do not slide speaker as spikes are sharp and can damage your floor or carpet. 7) Adjust to level by rotating spikes. Tighten the jam nut securely when satisfied that speaker is level. Caution: “Walking” the speaker may result in a broken spike.

Frequently Asked Questions How do I clean my speakers? Use a dust free cloth (such as a micro fiber cloth) or a soft brush to remove dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers. Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers? We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears.
