Before Connecting the CW10

MartinLogan's engineering and design team developed the CW10 for easy setup and system integration. Before beginning to connect your CW10, please review the controls discussed in the last section. An understanding of these will help speed you along as you connect and inte- grate your CW10 with your system. All signal connections are done on the rear connections panel of the CW10. Make certain that all of your connections are tight.

WARNING! Turn your CW10 subwoofer to 'Off' before making or breaking any signal connections!

2-Channel Mode

This setup is recommended if your CW10 will be used in a 2-channel system with main speakers playing full range. When a signal is connected to the CW10’s left/ right inputs and the crossover switch is set to 'Variable (L&R In), the CW10’s internal low pass filter is active.

If you will be using your system for both 2-channel and multi-channel listening we recommend connecting the CW10 as recommended in 'Multi-Channel/LFE Mode' on the next page. Some modern receivers and processors allow users to route left and right channel low-frequen- cy information, in addition to discrete LFE information, through the LFE output.

Signal .Connection .(see .figure .2):

1Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to the left and right inputs of the CW10 using qual- ity RCA interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set of outputs you may need to obtain Y adapters from your dealer.

Recommended .Control .Settings .(see .figure .3):

1 Set the crossover switch to 'Variable (L&R In)'.

2Set the 'Low Pass Filter' knob to approximately 70% of your loudspeakers lowest frequency response.

3While playing music with bass content, turn the level control up until the music has deep extended bass, being careful to avoid levels that become overwhelming.

4Try the phase control in different settings until the best blending is obtained.
