28 AC Power Connections
Because your MartinLogan Statement e2 ESL/Transition
towers use an internal power supply to energize their elec-
trostatic cells with high-voltage DC, they must be connected
to an AC power source. The EXOS crossover must also be
connected to an AC power source. For this reason the prop-
er IEC standard power cords are provided. These cords
should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacles on
the rear connection panel of the speakers and the EXOS, then
to any convenient AC wall outlet. The ESL/Transition towers
integrate a signal sensing power supply which will switch
off after a few minutes of no music signal, and requires
less than two seconds to recharge the panels when a
music signal is present.
WARNING! Turn all amplifiers off when plugging in
or unplugging the EXOS.
Your Statement e2 speakers and EXOS crossover are wired for
the power service supplied in the country of original con-
sumer sale. The AC power rating applicable to a particular
unit is specified both on the packing carton and on the
serial number plate attached to the speaker.
If you remove your Statement e2 speakers and EXOS
crossover from the country of original sale, be certain
that AC power supplied in any subsequent location is suit-
able before connecting and operating the speakers.
Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may
occur to a speaker if operation is attempted from an incor-
rect AC power source.
WARNING! The power cord should not be installed,
removed, or left detached from the speaker while
the other end is connected to an AC power source.
