MartinLogan 22 Speaker User Manual


 
10
How do I clean my speakers? Just use a dust free
cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your
speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent
on or in close proximity to the drivers.
What size amplifier should I use? We rec-
ommend an amplifier rated within the suitable
amplifier range of your speaker.
Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics
and cables that would be 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 or cables
and will be well versed in the subject of special
safety requirements for in-wall cable.
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.
