Martin-Logan speakers require AC power to energize their electrostatic cells.
Using the AC power cords provided, plug them in, making sure that you have
made a firm connection, first to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel of the
speaker and then to the wall outlet. Extension cords may be used, if necessary,
since the power requirement of the Sequel II is extremely small.

Use the best speaker cables you can! Higher quality cables, available from your
specialty dealer, are recommended and will give you superior performance! Spade
or banana connectors are suggested for optimum contact and ease of installation.
Attach your speaker cables to the Signal Input Signal Input Signal Input Signal Input Signal Input section on the rear panel. Be
consistent when connecting speaker leads to the terminals on the back of the
Sequel II: take great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both the
left and right channels. If bass is nonexistent and you cannot discern a tight,
coherent image, you may need to reverse the (+) and (-) leads on one side to bring
the system into proper polarity. For Bi-wiring/Passive Bi-amping instructions, turn to
the Operations
