SPEAKER CONNECTION

Turn your amplifier OFF before connecting speakers.

This will avoid damage which could result from accidental shorting of speaker cables.

Your speakers are equipped with binding posts that can be used with banana, pin or spade connectors, as well as with bare wire. Using high-quality speaker cable (not included, see your Dealer), connect one speaker at a time to your receiver/amplifier. Connect the red (+) amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal and the black (–) to the black (–) (Fig. 3). Tighten the posts firmly by hand, but don’t over-tighten them.

Turn your amplifier on and listen to your speakers. If you notice a complete lack of mid-bass and a dislocated image, one or more of your speakers may be connected out-of-phase (their polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–). Make sure wires are firmly fastened.

Designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, the MLT-2 stands out with its electrostatic design, which is a hallmark of MartinLogan's commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality.

One of the standout features of the MLT-2 is its use of an electrostatic panel.
