Fresco Speaker - Manual (Page 15)

ATF (Advanced Thin Film) 15
How do I clean my speakers?
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. Do not spray any kind of cleaning
agent on or in close proximity to the ATF element.
What size amplifier should I use?
We recommend an amplifier with 100 watts per
channel for most applications. Probably less would
be adequate when used in home theater where a
subwoofer is employed. Our hybrid designs will perform
well with either a tube or transistorized amplifier, and
will reveal the sonic character of either type. Dealers
are always the best source for information when
purchasing additional audio equipment.
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.
Is there likely to be any interaction between my
speakers and the television in my Audio/Video
system?
Fresco i is not shielded. It is intended for use with a flat
screen, non-CRT television.

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.
