  • MartinLogan E2, Toe in the ESL/Transition towers so the listener is looking at the inner 1 /3 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 1 /3 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

  • MartinLogan E2, 28 AC Power Connections Because your MartinLogan Statement e2 ESL/Transition towers use an internal power supply to energize their elec- trostatic cells with high-voltage DC, they must be connected to an AC power source. The EXOS crossover must also be connected to an AC power source. For this reason the prop- er IEC standard power cords are provided. These cords should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacles on the rear connection panel of the speakers and the EXOS, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The ESL/Transition towers integrate a signal sensing power supply which will switch off after a fe

  • MartinLogan E2, Assembly 9 12 Install woofer wiring harness as shown. You can move the tower to the preferred listening position by shifting the unit from side to side and “walking” it. 13 When you are confident the sub tower is correctly positioned, mark the floor with masking tape at each corner. Install the spikes by using a safe dolly to tip the sub tower back, remove the glides, and then screw the spikes into place. Make sure you thread the large black rubber washer onto the spike post before installing in the tower. Place the tower in a vertical position, and level front to back by tilting the tower back (at least 3 people are required) and adjusting the spikes. Figure 13 Figure 14

  • MartinLogan E2, 4 Speaker Placement For optimal performance of the Statement e2 system we recommend that the ESL/Transition towers be placed approximately five to seven feet from the front wall (the wall in front of the listening position) and at least two feet from the side walls. The subwoofer towers should be placed diagonally (or against a wall) in the front corners of the room with at least one foot of clearance between the woofers and the walls. The listening position should be farther than the distance between the speakers them- selves. What you are trying to attain is the impression of

  • MartinLogan E2, Assembly 13 9 Use a level to bring the tower 90 degrees vertical left to right. 10 When the tower is perfectly plumb, go ahead and tighten the bolts securely. 11 Use your level to plumb the tower front to back. Figure 23 Figure 24 Figure 25

  • 16 Assembly 18 Use a level to plumb the electrostatic panel left-to- right. 19 Measure the space between towers (top and bottom). The space should measure exactly 2 inches. 20 Tighten frame bolts as shown. Figure 32 Figure 33 Figure 34

  • MartinLogan E2, 12 Assembly 6 Pick up the transition tower assembly and insert it as shown into the base so the three holes in the mounting bracket line up with the holes in the tower. 7 Push the tower towards the center for proper align- ment. 8 Once the holes are properly aligned, insert the 3 1 /2” x 9 /16” hex head lag screws through a steel washer and into the tower. Finger tighten—do not tighten all the way. Figure 20 Figure 21 Figure 22

  • MartinLogan E2, Assembly 19 27 Find the loops at the top of the transition tower grill sock. 28 Hook the loops as indicated at the top of the tower. 29 Hook the loops on the bottom of the sock on the bottom of the tower as indicated. Figure 41 Figure 42 Figure 43

  • MartinLogan E2, The passive high-pass settings can be adjusted by changing the red and black jumpers found in the high-pass section of the ESL/Transition tower passive crossover. WARNING! Before changing the passive-high pass options be sure to turn the amps off and unplug the Statement e2 ESL/Transition tower. The design of these jumpers accommodates different lis- tening distances to the speaker (distance between listener and speaker). The unit is shipped in 15ft mode. If the user is only 10-feet away the jumpers need to be changed. The jumpers are located near the side of the crossover located in the ESL/Transition tower bases (see figu

  • MartinLogan E2, Assembly 5 WARNING! Assembling the Statement e2 requires two people, except for step 12 of the subwoofer tower assembly, which requires three people. Do not attempt any part of the assembly process with one person. 1 Place the primary subwoofer module in position on the floor, (the primary module has 10 binding posts). Corner placement is recommended—it is important to place the sub towers as close to final position as possible, as the final assembled tower weighs approximately 500 lb. However, for assembly you must leave enough space to have access to all sides of the sub tower. Place a level in position as shown to level the module left to right. Adjust th

  • Connections—Subwoofer Towers 25 This connection method is safe for all amplifiers (see figure 51). 2-Ohm Connection This connection is the loudest, but draws the most power from the amplifier (see figure 52). If using this connection method, make sure your amp can handle 2-Ohms. Use this connection method if you wish to use two ampli- fiers to drive the subwoofer towers (see figure 53).

  • MartinLogan E2, 8 Assembly 10 Place the fourth and final module in position (repeat- ing steps 3 thru 6). The top module is distinguished from the other modules by the lack of mounting holes on the top bracket (as shown). 11 Align the slots on the top and bottom of the grill cloth frames with the curved extrusion on the module. Place firmly into position so that the velcro fasteners are securely meshed. Figure 11 Figure 12

  • MartinLogan E2, Before You Begin 3 Master Packing List Required Tools Before you being setting up the Statement e2, please make sure that all 15 crates/boxes are present and accounted for.

  • MartinLogan E2, You will need to set the dip switches for both right and left channel. Note: Only one dip switch per dip switch cluster should be on at a time. 5 If available, use test equipment to optimize the sub- woofer response. 6 The 50Hz control works the same as the 25Hz control. 7 The phase settings allow the phase of the woofer sec- tion to be modified in the crossover area. This allows for a phase match between the ESL/transition-tower and the subwoofer. The phase dip switch should be set to 270° to start. We have found th

  • This method of connection uses individual runs of speaker wire from your amplifier. This doubles the signal carrying conductors from the amplifier to the speaker, thus direct- coupling each portion of the crossover to the amplifier. Connect one set of wires to the upper set of binding posts which connect to the ESL panel of the Statement e2. Then connect a second set of wires to the

  • MartinLogan E2, Now that you know all the connection options and how to set them, it’s time to make the speakers work in their target environment. For this part, it is recommended that an audio analyzer be used (RTA or a computer based instrument). Start with default settings. Look at the 200Hz to 500Hz area of the ESL-transition tower alone. If there is too much energy in this area, try changing the jumpers in the passive high-pass accordingly (see page 26). Note how low the transition tower is playing. The transi

  • MartinLogan E2, Connections—Exos Crossover Inputs 21 Connect the outputs of the Preamplifier/Processor to the inputs of the EXOS using either balanced or single ended connections. There are right channel, left channel and optional 0.1 effects channel inputs. WARNING! Use either all balanced or all single ended connections for signal inputs. Do not use both. CONNECTIONS—EXOS CROSSOVER INPUTS Figure 46. EXOS signal inputs. Balanced connection shown.

  • MartinLogan E2, 22 Connections—Exos Crossover Outputs Connect the EXOS subwoofer outputs to the amplifier(s) for the woofer towers using either balanced or single ended connections. Both the balanced and single ended outputs are always on—you can use either option to con- nect the woofer tower amplifier(s) regardless of which you used for signal input. Note: Use either all balanced or all single ended connec- tions for subwoofer outputs. Do not use both. Connect the full range outputs of the EXOS to the amplifier(s) for the ESL/Transition tower using the same type of connection used for the signal inputs. Note: The full range outputs should use the same connectors as the signal inputs. They are di

  • MartinLogan E2, 10 Assembly Note: The following instructions describe the assembly of the right channel high-and mid-frequency tower. Duplicate all assembly instructions for the left tower assembly. 1 Attach the outside (semi-circle shaped) trim rail to the transition tower by aligning the five pins on the trim rail with the 5 cam holes in the tower. 2 Use a phillips head screwdriver to rotate the cams a little over 180° counter clockwise once the pin is properly aligned in the cam. The arrow on the cam must be in the position shown to accept the pin. 3 Make sure the trim rail is flush with the tower edge. Transition/Electrostatic Tower Assembly Fig
