We know you are eager to hear your new Cinema i center
channel, so this section is provided to allow fast and easy
set up. Once you have it operational, please take the time to
read, in depth, the rest of the information in this manual. It
will give you perspective on how to attain the greatest
possible performance from this most exacting transducer.
If you should experience any difficulties in the setup or
operation of your Cinema i speaker, please refer to the
Operation or Installation sections of this manual.
Should you encounter a persistent problem that cannot be
resolved, please contact your authorized MartinLogan
dealer. They will provide you with the appropriate technical
analysis to alleviate the situation.
WARNING!
•Hazardous voltages exist inside—do not
remove cover.
•Refer servicing to a qualified technician.
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this module to moisture.
•Turn amplifier off and unplug speaker
should any abnormal conditions occur.
•Do not operate if there is any visual
damage to the electrostatic panel element.
•Do not drive speaker beyond its rated power.
Step 1: Unpacking
Remove your new Cinema i speaker from the packing.
Step 2: Placement
Place the Cinema i directly between your front left and
right speakers. This is a good place to start. Please see the
Installation section (page 6–10) of this manual for more
placement details.
Step 3: Power Connection (see warning)
The Cinema i requires power to energize its electrostatic
panel. Plug the provided power supply first into the Power In
power receptacle on the rear panel of the speaker, making
sure that you have made a firm connection, and then to a
convenient wall outlet. Please see the Operation section
(pages 4–5) of this manual for more details.
Step 4: Signal Connection
Use the best speaker cables you can. Higher quality cables,
available from your specialty dealer, are recommended
and will give you superior performance. Spade connectors
are suggested for optimum contact and ease of installation.
Attach your speaker cables to the signal input section on
the rear panel. Be consistent when connecting speaker leads
to the terminals on the back of the Cinema i. Take great
care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both
the speaker and the amplifier. Please see the Operation
section (pages 4–5) of this manual for more details.
Step 5: Listen and Enjoy
Now, you may turn on your system and enjoy!
