Content CheCk List

Your new MartinLogan loudspeaker includes the following items. Should you require assistance, please

call our service department at (785) 749-0133.

Install Template • Grille Cover • Grille Scrim • Baffle Trim • Torx T20 Driver

These speakers are designed with easy-to-use push-

style binding posts that accept bare wire (fig. 1).

Assign the same color to the (+) and (–) terminals

on both the speaker and the amplifier. Make sure

that all connections are tight.

For convenience during installation, Tribute 5XW

and Monument 7XW feature binding posts on

both the top and bottom of the enclosure. Only

one set of connections is necessary.

ConneCtion

WARNING! Turn your amplifier

off before making or breaking any

signal connections!

• Use an amp that approximately matches the

speaker’s specified power handling.

• To avoid damage, turn down the volume of

the speaker is distorting, sounds harsh, or the

bass begins to break up.

• Tone controls and equalizers may increase

the likelihood of distortion, especially at high

volumes. Use these setting sparingly.

When you first begin to play your speakers, they

sound a bit bass shy, due to the high quality,

long-life components used in the drivers. Allow

approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90 dB

(moderate listening levels) before any critical listen-

ing.

Break-in

ProteCt Your investment

Achieving Superior Imaging

These MartinLogan in-wall speakers offer superb

imaging and flexible placement in nearly any loca-

tion. However, for best performance and imaging

place speakers equidistant from one another and

avoid physical obstructions between the speaker

and primary listening position.

Balancing Hard vs. Soft Surfaces Improves High-

and Mid-Frequency Performance

Rooms that are “overdamped” with carpeting, drapes,

and other sound absorbers can cause your system to

be dull and lifeless. On the other hand, rooms can

have so many hard surfaces that the system sounds

like a gymnasium. Experiment by adding or removing

soft surfaces until you find a mix that is right for you.

Choosing a Mounting Location

Install the speaker between wall studs. Be careful to

avoid electrical wires behind the wall and surfaces.

Balancing Bass Output

Corner placement of these speakers reinforces their

bass output. If you require balanced output across

the entire audio spectrum avoid mounting these

speakers in a corner.

When choosing placement, follow these simple tips:

• Place a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) from

any wall corner.

• Place front and center channels equidistant

between 10–14 feet (3–4.3 m) from the lis-

tening position.

Painting the sPeaker griLLe

IMPORTANT! Before painting, remove the grille from

speakers and remove the cloth scrim attached inside

the grille. The speaker includes an extra scrim.

1. Remove the grille from the speaker. A protec-

tive cloth scrim is attached to the back of the

grille with a low-tack adhesive. Remove this

scrim by gently pulling it away from the grille

and discard it.

2. Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the

holes. Allow the paint to dry completely before

proceeding. IMPORTANT! For best results

use a spray rather than a brush or roller.

3. Gently press the new scrim into place before

reinstalling the speaker grille.

instaLLation

NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting sur-

face is of standard wood frame and conventional

sheetrock construction. If you wish to mount the

speakers to another type of material, you should

contact a bonded contractor.

NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction

pre-install brackets (sold separately).

WARNING! Before installing

check local building codes to

verify compliance with local regu-

lations. WARNING! Before install-

ing check for obstructions behind

drywall. To do this make a small

cut-out, cutting at a 45° angle (this

makes the hole easier to patch if

you find obstacles. Only cut out

the mounting hole after you have

verified there are no obstructions

behind the drywall. WARNING!

Use speaker cable rated for in-wall

use. The UL standard is CL2, CL3,

and CM. The CSA standard is

FT4. WARNING! Turn your ampli-

fier off before making or breaking

any signal connections.

Recommended tools:

• Stud finder

• Sharp pencil or pen

• Pushpin

• Drywall knife/saw

• Wire strippers

• Electric drill

• Tape measure

• Low-tack tape

1. Using a stud finder, position the template

centered between wall studs or ceiling joists.

2. Hold or pin the template in place and mark

cut-out with a pencil.

3. Remove the template and cut out the opening

with a drywall knife/saw.

4. Place fiberglass insulation above and below

the cut-out hole. Place a half thick piece of

fiberglass insulation behind the speaker.

5 Connect speaker cable. Be consistent when

connecting speaker leads to the terminals

on the speaker. Take great care to assign

the same color to the (+) terminal on both

the speaker and the amplifier. For conve-

nience during installation, Tribute 5XW and

Monument 7XW feature binding posts on

both the top and bottom of the enclosure.

Only one set of connections is nec-

essary.

WARNING! Turn your amplifier

off before making or breaking any

signal connections!

6 Place the speaker in the hole. Monument

7XW: Orient the speaker’s unmarked mid-

range driver (the driver without ‘MartinLogan’

printed on it) so that it is the closest to the

listener’s ear level at the primary listening

position.

7 Use the supplied Torx T20 driver and an

electric drill to lock all mounting locks in

place. Use a low clutch setting on the drill.

8 Always use the Folded Motion XT tweeter in

a vertical orientation. If the speaker’s instal-

lation is horizontal, the tweeter needs to

rotate 90 degrees. To do this, remove alu-

minum baffle (if installed) and using a Phillips

screwdriver, remove the four screws holding

the tweeter assembly in place. Rotate the

tweeter to the correct orientation then screw

the assembly back into place (fig 2).

9 Gently press the trim baffle into place.

Place the magnetic grill cover over the speaker.

No Output

• Check that all your system components are

turned on, are not muted, and that your bal-

ance control (if applicable) correct.

• Check to make sure your power outlet at the

wall is working.

• Check your power cords, speaker wires, and

interconnecting cables.

• Check to make sure no headphones are

plugged in.

• Swap speaker wires at your amplifier with

those of a speaker that is functioning cor-

rectly. If the lack of output moves to a

different speaker, the problem could be with

other equipment in your system (i.e., amp,

pre-amp, processor, and such).

• Try hooking up a different set of speakers.

The lack of output could point to a problem

with other equipment in your system (i.e.,

amp, pre-amp, processor, and such).

Lack of Bass or Poor Imaging

• Check your speaker wires. Is the polarity cor-

rect — (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

trouBLeshooting

How do I clean my speakers? Use a clean

cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your

speakers. Do not spray any cleaning agents on or

near the drivers.

What size amplifier should I use? We rec-

ommend an amplifier rated within the suitable

amplifier range of your speaker.

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 drive listeners 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 many brands—and above all

else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best

source for information when purchasing additional

audio equipment or cables and are well versed in

the subject of special safety requirements for in-wall

cable.

Will exposure to sunlight affect the life or

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 grille cloth and speaker

cones. Small exposure to UV does not create a

problem. In general, the filtering of UV rays through

glass significantly reduces the adverse effects.
