Jumper Clips
In some countries laws prohibits MartinLogan from supplying
jumper clips. If none are included with your speakers please
refer to ‘Bi-Wire Connection’ for connection instructions.
Single Wire Connection
Please note the jumper clips included with the Neolith. These
clips attach the high and low frequency sections of the cross-
over. With these in place, connect the (+) wire from your
amplifier to either red binding post and the (–) wire from your
amplifier to either black binding post (see figure 2).
Bi-Wire Connection
This connection method replaces the jumper clips installed
on the binding posts with individual runs of speaker wire from
your amplifier. This doubles the signal carrying conductors
from the amplifier to the speaker, thus direct-coupling each
portion of the crossover to the amplifier.
To bi-wire you must first remove the jumper clips. Connect
one set of wires to the upper set of binding posts which con-
nect to the electrostatic panel of the Neolith. Then connect a
second set of wires to the lower binding posts which connect
to the woofers. Next, connect both sets of wires to the appro-
priate terminals on your amplifier. Please take care to connect
both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier terminals and both (-) wires
to the (–) amplifier terminals. This is known as a parallel con-
nection (see figure 3).
Passive Bi-Amplification
For those that desire ultimate performance, the Neolith may
be passively bi-amplified using the existing internal passive
crossover elements.
WARNING! Only after jumper clips are removed may
you connect individual runs of speaker cable from
your amplifiers to the high pass (ESL) and low pass
(WOOFER) input binding posts. Damage will occur to
your amplifiers if the jumper clips are not removed.
This method takes the bi-wiring concept one step further.
You will have a dedicated channel of amplification directly
connected to the high and low pass sections of the Neolith
crossover. There are two different methods for bi-amping with
two stereo amplifiers. The first and most common is referred
to as Horizontal Bi-amping. The second method is referred to
as Vertical Bi-amping. With either method you may use two
