WARNING!
Based on the performance of most proces- sors, it is recommended that MartinLogan center and effects type speakers (i.e. Motif, Matinee, Stage, etc.) not be run in large, wide, or full range mode. Doing so may potentially damage the speaker if the proces- sor attempts to drive the speaker beyond its rated frequency range. This warning also applies to products from other manufacturers.
It is recommended to run center and effects type speakers in limited or narrow mode. Some processors have an option to route the LFE channel to your main and/or surround speakers. We recommend that you do not use this option.
