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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
