Congratulations! You have invested in a new world
of high performance audio!
The MartinLogan Passage represents the culmination of
an intensive, dedicated group research program directed
toward establishing a world class reference monitor utilizing
leading-edge technology, without compromising durability,
reliability, craftsmanship or aesthetic design.
The materials in your new Passage speaker are of the high-
est
quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment
and
deepening respect.
This User’s Manual will explain in detail the operation of
your Passage speaker and the philosophy applied to their
design. A clear understanding of your speaker will insure
that you obtain maximum performance and pleasure from
this most exacting transducer. It has been designed and con-
structed to give you years of trouble-free listening enjoyment.
WARNING!
• Refer servicing to a qualified technician.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this module to moisture.
• Turn amplifier off should any abnormal
conditions occur.
• Do not drive speaker beyond its rated power.
The lightning bolt flash with arrowhead symbol within
an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient mag-
nitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
The fire within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the potential of creating a fire hazard
if they do not follow the instructions.
The dollar sign within an equilateral triangle is intend-
ed to alert the user that they run the risk of causing
damage that could be potentially expensive to repair
if they don't follow the instructions.
2 Contents & Introduction
CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION
Contents Introduction
To achieve maximum performance, it is recommended that
the Passage not be installed near a room corner or directly
behind furniture. When used as a front left/right channel, it
is recommended that the listening position be no closer to
the wall then the distance between the speakers.
Horizontal Installation
Although most users will mount the Passage in a vertical
orientation, it can also be mounted in a horizontal ori-
entation (for use as a center channel). If you plan to use
the Passage in a horizontal orientation, it will cross drywall
studs and the wall will require modification. A bonded
contractor should be contacted to mount the Passage in a
horizontal orientation.
Installing the Passage
NOTE: These instructions must be carefully followed to
assure that your Passage is safely installed. Study them
thoroughly before installing your Passage's.
NOTE: The following instructions assume the mounting
surface is of standard wood frame and standard sheet rock
construction. If you wish to mount the Passage to another
type of material, you should consult a bonded contractor.
Warning! Before installing check
for obstructions behind the drywall
(electrical, plumbing and other
fixtures). To do this make a small
hole, cutting at a 45° angle (this
will make the hole easier to patch
if obstructions are found). Only
cut the mounting hole after
you have verified there are no
obstructions behind the wall.

5 If the tweeter is above or below ear level, position the
marked woofer closest to ear level (see sticker on the
back of speaker).
6 Connect speaker cable. Be consistent when connect-
ing speaker leads to the terminals on the back of the
Passage. Take great care to assign the same color to

9 Aim the tweeter toward the primary listening position by
gently pushing the edge of the tweeter globe (which is
capable of 20° tilt in all directions).
The Passage tweeter should always be orientated so that
the long dimension of the tweeter is vertical (see tweeter
position in figure 1). To accommodate both horizontal and
vertical orientations, the tweeter globe can rotate 90°.
WARNING! Do not turn the tweeter more
than 90° in either direction. Turning the tweeter
globe too much may cause wires to disconnect.
10 Gently bend the grill cover into place.
Figure 12. Installation step 10.
WARNING! These instructions are written
based on commonly available IR repeaters that
mount in a 1
/2" diameter hole. Before beginning
this installation, please refer to the instructions
that came with your IR repeater to verify this
hole size. If your IR repeater requires a hole size
other than 1
/2" diameter, adjust these instruc-
tions accordingly. Before drilling the mounting
hole, a 1
/8" pilot hole should always be drilled
from the back regardless of the final mounting
hole diameter.
Required tools (not included):
Electric drill
1
/8" drill bit
1
/2" drill bit
1 Prepare a flat surface with a cushion and/or blanket to
protect the Passage. Place the Passage driver side down.
WARNING! Be careful to put no weight on
the tweeter globe.
2 From the rear of the speaker and at the location shown
in figure 13, use a 1
/8" drill bit to drill a pilot hole.
3 Turn the Passage over so that it is driver side up.
4 From the front of the speaker, use a 1
/2" drill bit to
widen the hole for the IR repeater.
5 Follow the instructions that come with the IR repeater to
finish installation.
