Frequently Asked Questions - Aeon Martin Logan
How far from the wall should I place my Martin Logan Aeon speakers?
Place the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the back wall to allow the electrostatic panel to breathe and to avoid bass boom. Experiment with distance for optimal imaging.
Can I use my Aeon speakers with a low-power amplifier?
Yes, the Aeon is reasonably sensitive (89 dB) and can be driven by amplifiers as low as 20 watts. However, for best dynamic range, we recommend 50-200 watts RMS per channel.
How do I clean the electrostatic panel?
Use a soft, dry brush (e.g., a clean paintbrush) to gently dust the panel. Never use liquids or compressed air as they can damage the delicate diaphragm.
Do I need to break in my new Martin Logan Aeon speakers?
Yes, allow 50-100 hours of break-in at moderate volume. The electrostatic panel and woofer suspension will loosen, resulting in smoother treble and tighter bass.
Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the Aeon?
Yes, the binding posts are bi-wirable. Remove the metal jumpers to run separate speaker cables to the high‑frequency and low‑frequency sections. Bi‑amping requires an external crossover or active crossover.
What type of amplifier is best for electrostatic speakers?
Electrostatic speakers present a low-impedance (4 ohms) and capacitive load. Use a stable amplifier rated for 4 ohms, preferably a high-current design. Tube amplifiers can sound excellent but should be rated for safe operation with electrostatics.
My Aeon speaker makes a popping noise. Is that normal?
A soft pop when powering on/off is normal due to the built‑in amplifier. If persistent popping occurs during playback, check input connections or turn off the amplifier before switching sources.
Can I place the Aeon in a bookshelf or on a stand?
The Aeon is a floor-standing speaker designed to sit directly on the floor. Do not place it on shelves or weak stands as the powered woofer needs a stable base and the height is critical for soundstage.
How long do electrostatic panels last?
With proper care, Martin Logan electrostatic panels can last 15-20 years. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity, and dust. If the panel becomes noisy or loses output, contact Martin Logan service for replacement.
Is the built-in woofer amplifier user-serviceable?
No, the woofer amplifier is not user-serviceable. If it fails, contact Martin Logan or an authorized service center. The speaker must be disconnected from power before any maintenance.
