INTRODUCTION AND ASSEMBLY
Congratulations! You have invested in one of the world’s
premier loudspeaker systems.
The MartinLogan Ascent i 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 Ascent i raises and refines the performance level of the
original Ascent. Bass response now has
improved defini-
tion. High frequency
response also has better extension
and is more natural in character. The integration of the
two is much smoother and seamless. Power handling and
system efficiency have been enhanced as well.
The materials in your new Ascent i speakers are of the high-
est
quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment
and
deepening respect. All trim pieces are constructed
from
selected hardwoods. They are then grain and color
matched and finally hand finished. The cabinetry is con-
structed from the highest quality composite material for
acoustical integrity and is finished with our attractive cus-
tom finish.
Through rigorous testing, the curvilinear electrostatic
panel has proven itself to be one of the most durable and
reliable transducers available today. Fabricated from a cus-
tom tool punched high-grade steel, the patented panel is
then coated with a special polymer that is applied via a pro-
prietary electrostatic bonding process. This panel assembly
houses a membrane just 0.0005 of an inch thick. Ruggedly
constructed and insulated, as much as 200 watts of contin-
uous power has driven the Ascent i’s energized diaphragm
into massive excursions with no deleterious effects.
The other sections of your User’s Manual explain in detail
the operation of your Ascent i speakers and the philoso-
phy applied to their design. A clear understanding of your
speakers will insure that you obtain maximum performance
and pleasure from this most exacting transducer. It has been
designed and constructed to give you years of trouble-free
listening enjoyment.
The Ascent i comes with an easy to install woofer grille cover.
This woofer grille is designed so that it can be installed in
two ways, either with the indent towards the top, or with the
indent towards the bottom—depending on your personal
aesthetic preference. To install the grille, just line it up with
the bottom of the Ascent i and carefully push the grille into
place (see figure 1).
