Frequently Asked Questions - Theater i Martin Logan
What is the recommended amplifier power for the Theater i?
The Theater i has a power handling of 100–200 W RMS. MartinLogan recommends an amplifier rated between 20 and 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms for best performance.
Can I mount the Theater i on a wall?
The Theater i is designed for shelf or stand placement. It is not wall-mountable out of the box. You may use third-party shelves or stands rated for its weight.
How do I clean the electrostatic panel?
Use a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum to gently remove dust from the panel. Avoid touching the panel with fingers or using liquids. For stubborn dust, a dry microfiber cloth can be used lightly.
What is the correct impedance setting on my AV receiver?
Set your receiver to 4 ohms if available. The Theater i has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and some receivers have a switch for 4/8 ohm operation. Check your receiver manual.
Does the Theater i require a subwoofer?
For a full-range experience, MartinLogan recommends a subwoofer, as the Theater i rolls off at 48 Hz. A subwoofer will handle deeper bass effects and take load off the main speakers.
Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the Theater i?
Yes, the Theater i has dual binding posts that allow bi-wiring or bi-amping. Remove the jumpers between the posts to separate the low and high frequency sections.
What is the warranty on the Theater i?
MartinLogan typically offers a 5-year limited warranty for speakers and 2 years for electronics. Check your purchase documentation for exact terms.
How far should the Theater i be from the wall?
Since the Theater i has rear-firing ports, allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance behind the speaker for proper bass response and to avoid port noise.
Can I use the Theater i as a left/right speaker?
While designed as a center channel, it can be used as a left/right speaker in a smaller system. However, it performs best as a dedicated center to match other MartinLogan electrostats.
How do I break in the Theater i?
No formal break-in is required. Play the speaker at moderate volume for 20–30 hours to allow the components to settle for optimal performance.
