MartinLogan E2 Manual De Usuario

Toe in the ESL/Transition towers so the listener is looking at

the inner

of the ESL panels. Sitting at the listening posi-

tion, hold a flashlight under your chin and point it at each

speaker. The reflection of the flashlight should be

of the

way out from the inner edge of the panel (see figure 68).

Viewed from the listening position, the 2-inch space between

the transition tower and ESL frame should appear the same

on both channels (see figure 66). When you are happy with

the final placement of the ESL/Transition towers, carefully

remove the glider feet and install the ETC spikes.

Hard Sound

If the speaker sounds hard, there are two options:

Change the jumpers on the passive high-pass to turn

up the lower midrange (see page 26).

Try tilting the speaker back (raise the front feet of the

unit). The listener should be straight on with the bot-

tom

of the panel when listening.

When you are finished setting up the Statement e2, you

should turn the unit up very loud and check the room for

rattles. If any are found they should be eliminated.

ESL Tower Spike Installation

When you are happy with the placement of the ESL/ transi-

tion towers, we recommend that you install the ETC spikes.

This procedure requires at least two people—one to tip the

tower and one to install the spikes.

With one person standing behind the tower carefully

tip the tower back.

Remove the glider feet and the screw the 2 front

spikes into place making sure to thread the large black

rubber washer onto the spike post.

With one person standing in front of the tower carefully

tip the tower forward.

Remove the remaining glider foot and the screw the

back spikes into place making sure to thread the large

black rubber washer onto the spike post.
