Operation 5

Your Clarity loudspeakers are equipped with a NAC (natural

ambience compensation) driver located on top of Clarity’s

cabinet. To turn the NAC on or off gently insert a narrow

object such as a pen or pencil into the small hole located

above the NAC’s perforated screen (see figure 2). For more

information on the NAC see the ‘MartinLogan Exclusives’

section (page 15) and the ‘Dispersion Interactions’ section

of this manual (page 10).

Using Only One Power Supply

You may have noticed a connection on the back of your

Clarity’s labeled ‘DC Power Out’. The use of this connec-

tion will allow you to daisy-chain up to seven low-voltage

MartinLogan products and eliminate the need for multiple

low-voltage power supplies.

To use this connection option choose a primary speaker

(whichever speaker is most convenient) and connect it as

instructed in the ‘Low-Voltage (DC) Power Connection’

section on the previous page. To attach additional speakers,

run a low-voltage interconnect cable from the ‘DC Power

Out’ to the next speakers ‘DC Power In’ (see figure 3).

When you first begin to play your Clarity speakers, they will

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

components used in our woofer. Our custom made woofers

requires 30 hours of break-in at 90 dB (moderate listening

levels) before any critical listening. The break-in require-

ments of the crossover components (and, to a lesser degree,

the stator) are equivalent.
