6 Introduction

Congratulations! You have invested in one of the

world’s premier loudspeaker systems.

The MartinLogan Matinee represents an advanced

combination of sonic technologies establishing an unprec-

edented direction for audiophile design. The result of

years of research, the new Matinee™ hybrid electrostat-

ic loudspeaker establishes new standards for efficiency,

dynamics and precision in a loudspeaker.

Matinee’s CLS transducer builds upon the legacy of

MartinLogan’s electrostatic heritage with the incorpora-

tion of advanced vacuum bonding and MicroPerf stat

panels, providing even greater efficiency and precision.

The integration electrical interface technology devel-

oped by MartinLogan’s Statement™ e2 engineering team

extends effortless dynamics and purity, resulting in even

higher sonic standards of efficiency and precision.

Through rigorous testing, MartinLogan’s curvilinear electro-

static panel has proven itself to be one of the most durable

and reliable transducers available today. Fabricated from a

custom tool punched high-grade steel, the patented

panel is then coated with a special polymer that is applied

via a proprietary electrostatic bonding process. This panel

assemblyhousesamembranejust0.0005ofaninchthick.

Ruggedly constructed and insulated, the panel is rated to

easily handle up to 150 watts of continuous power with

no deleterious effects.

Featuring an advanced crossover topology derived from

engineering established with he Summit loudspeaker,

MartinLogan engineered the Matinee™ crossover using

precision audiophile-grade polypropylene capacitors and

high-purity air-core coils. This advanced crossover topol-

ogy flawlessly preserves sonic subtleties while effortlessly

handling the broadest range of dynamics.

The materials in your new Matinee speaker are of the

highest

quality and will provide years of enduring

enjoymentand

deepening respect. The cabinetry is con-

structed from dense composite material for acoustical

integrity.

The other sections of your User’s Manual explain in detail

the operation of your Matinee speaker and the philoso-

phy applied to their design. A clear understanding of your

speaker will insure that you obtain maximum perfor-

mance and pleasure from this most exacting transducer.

It has been designed and constructed to give you years of

trouble-freelisteningenjoyment.

IntroduCtIon

Connections 7

ConneCtIons

AC Power Connection

Your Matinee uses an external low-voltage power sup-

ply to energize its electrostatic panel. For this reason the

proper low-voltage power supply is provided. The power

supply should be firmly inserted into the ‘Power In’ recep-

tacle on the rear connection panel of the speaker, then to

any convenient AC wall outlet (see figure 1). Your Matinee

integrates a signal sensing circuit which will switch the

Matinee off after a few minutes of no music signal, and

requires less than two seconds to recharge the panel when

a music signal is present.

Your Matinee speaker is provided with a power supply

for the power service supplied in the country of original

consumer sale. The AC power rating applicable to a par-

ticular unit is specified both on the packing carton and on

the power supply.

If you remove your Matinee speakers from the country of

original sale, be certain that the AC power supplied in any

subsequent location is suitable before connecting the low-

voltage power supply. Substantially impaired performance

or severe damage may occur to a Matinee speaker if oper-

ation is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

WARNING! The power supply should not

be installed, removed, or left detached from

the speaker while connected to an AC power

source.

Signal Connection

Use the best speaker cables you can. The length and type

of speaker cable used in your system will have an audible

effect. Under no circumstance should a wire of gauge

higher (thinner) than #16 be used. In general, the lon-

ger the length used, the greater the necessity of a lower

gauge, and the lower the gauge, the better the sound,

with diminishing returns setting in around #8 to #12.

A variety of speaker cables are now available whose

manufacturers claim better performance than standard

heavy gauge wire. We have verified this in many cases,

and the improvements available are often more notice-

able than the differences between wires of different

gauge. The effects of cables may be masked if the equip-

ment is not of the highest quality.

Connections are made at the signal input section on the

rear electronics panel of the Matinee (see figure 1). Use

spade connectors for optimum contact. Make certain that

all of your connections are tight. Be consistent when con-

necting speaker leads to the terminals on the back of the

Matinee. Take great care to assign the same color to the

(+) terminal on both the speaker and the amplifier.

WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before mak-

ing or breaking any signal connections!

Break-In

When you first begin to play your Matinee speaker, it will

sound a bit bass shy. This is due to the high-quality, long-

life components used in the woofers. These custom made

woofer requires at least 80 hours of break-in at 90 dB

(moderate listening levels) before any critical listening. The

break-in requirements of the crossover components (and,

to a lesser degree, the electrostatic transducer) are equal.

8 Installation

InstallatIon

On the Television

If your television provides a wide, level and stable plat-

form, the Matinee can be placed directly on top of the

television (see figure 2). The non-skid rubber grip feet

should be used beneath the Matinee to provide traction.

On the Floor

Placing the Matinee on the floor might position it too low

to blend with the front speakers. If placing the Matinee

on the floor is the best placement for your system, the

adjustablestand(soldseperately)willallowyoutotiltthe

Matinee towards the listening position.

On the Wall

The included brackets allow you to mount the Matinee

on the wall (see figures 3 and “Mounting the Matinee On

A Wall,” page 10).

WARNING! Installation other than that

described in the body of this document requires

specific documentation from MartinLogan.

On-Wall/Off-Wall Acoustic Contour Switch

Figure 4. IfMatineeistobeusedwiththeoptionaladjustablestand,

place the non-skid grip feet on the stand and beneath the speaker.

Matinee features a unique ‘on-wall/off-wall’ switch that

tailors acoustic equalization to either installation option.

Simply set this switch to On-Wall if mounting to a surface.

Set the switch to Off-Wall if the Matinee is more than four

inches from a wall. Setting this switch ensures that you will

achieve total system matching in even the most diverse

setups (such as systems mixing on-wall and off-wall instal-

lations).

Using the Non-Skid Grip Feet

When setting Matinee on a surface, use the non-skid Grip

Feet beneath the speaker to provide traction (see figure 4).
