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

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

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

/8" drill bit

/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.
