(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions­

How do I clean my speakers and subwoofer?

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.

What size amplifier should I use?

We recommend an amplifier with 50–100 watts per channel for most applications. Probably less would be adequate when used in home theater where a subwoofer is employed. The speakers will perform well with either a tube or transistor amplifier, and will reveal the sonic character of either type.

Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers?

The area of electronics and cable choice is probably the most common type of question that we receive. It is also the most subjective. We have repeatedly found that brands that work well in one setup will drive someone else nuts in another. We use many brands with great success. Again, we have no favorites; we use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best source for information when purchasing additional audio equipment.

Is there likely to be any interaction between my speakers and the television in my A/V system?

No. The MLT-2 and MLT-2 center speakers are shielded and can be used with a CRT television.

Will exposure to sunlight affect the life or performance of my speakers?

We recommend that you not place any loudspeaker in direct sunlight. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause deterioration of grill cloth, speaker cones, etc. Small exposures to UV will not cause a problem. In general, the filtering of UV rays through glass will greatly reduce the negative effects.

Is it safe to set things on my subwoofer?

While your MLT-2 subwoofer is designed with a durable, stain-resistant surface, we advise you not to set anything on your MLT-2 subwoofer—especially containers holding liquids.

Is there likely to be any interaction between my subwoofer and the television in my Audio/ Video system?

Yes. The MLT-2 subwoofer doesn’t use a shielded driver. We recommend 3 feet between the MLT-2 subwoofer and video components that are susceptible to magnetic fields, such as CRT televisions.

MLT-2 specifications

The MartinLogan MLT-2 is a compact, high-performance home theater speaker system that blends cutting-edge technology with elegant design. 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. This technology allows for incredibly detailed sound reproduction, producing a broad frequency response with minimal distortion. The panel is engineered to create a large soundstage, giving users an immersive listening experience that fills the room. In addition to the electrostatic panel, the MLT-2 includes a high-performance 5.25-inch woofer that effectively extends the low-frequency response, ensuring that the system can handle everything from soaring high notes to booming bass.

The MLT-2 speaker system comes equipped with a range of advanced technologies that enhance its performance. One such feature is the advanced crossover network, which ensures seamless integration between the electrostatic panel and the woofer. This results in a coherent sound profile that accurately reproduces the audio in movies, music, and other media. The construction of the cabinet is also critical; the MLT-2 boasts a rigid, well-braced enclosure that minimizes cabinet resonance and maximizes sound clarity.

Another key characteristic of the MLT-2 is its elegant design. Its slim and modern profile allows it to blend seamlessly with various décor styles, making it a perfect choice for any home theater setup. The speaker is available in a variety of finishes, including a high-gloss black and a real-wood veneer, catering to individual tastes and preferences.

With its versatile capabilities, the MartinLogan MLT-2 is an ideal choice for both small and large home theater systems. The efficient design enables easy placement in various environments while still maintaining exceptional audio quality.
