Before Y ou Begin 3 Master P acking List Required T ools Before you being setting up the Statement e2, please make sure that all 15 crates/boxes are present and accounted for . The list below gives a detailed description of what can be found in each numbered crate/box.
4 Speaker Placement F or optimal performance of the Statement e2 system we recommend that the ESL/T ransition towers be placed approximately five to seven feet from the front wall (the wall in front of the listening position) and at least two feet from the side walls.
Assembly 5 WARNING! Assembling the Statement e2 requires two people , except for step 12 of the subwoofer tower assembly , which requires three people . Do not attempt any part of the assembly process with one person. 1 Place the primary subwoofer module in position on the floor , (the primary module has 10 binding posts).
6 Assembly 4 After the second module is in position atop the primary module, place a level on it as shown. Level the module front to back by inserting a small allen wrench (or other suitable instrument) through the hole in the cones on the base of the module (detail), and rotating the cone up or down to achieve level.
Assembly 7 7 Stack the next secondary module atop the second uti- lizing the same assembly procedure used in step 3. 8 Align the cones to the indentations on the cabinet below , and level the module front-to-back and left-to- right, following the same procedure used in steps 4 and 5.
8 Assembly 10 Place the fourth and final module in position (repeat- ing steps 3 thru 6). The top module is distinguished from the other modules by the lack of mounting holes on the top bracket (as shown). 11 Align the slots on the top and bottom of the grill cloth frames with the curved extrusion on the module.
Assembly 9 1 2 Install woofer wiring harness as shown. Y ou can move the tower to the preferred listening position by shifting the unit from side to side and “walking” it. 13 When you are confident the sub tower is correctly positioned, mark the floor with masking tape at each corner .
10 Assembly Note: The following instructions describe the assembly of the right channel high-and mid-frequency tower . Duplicate all assembly instructions for the left tower assembly . 1 Attach the outside (semi-circle shaped) trim rail to the transition tower by aligning the five pins on the trim rail with the 5 cam holes in the tower .
Assembly 11 4 Install the inside wing (wedge shaped with pins on the side) trim rail by aligning the 5 pins with the corre- sponding cams as in the previous assembly , only this time the cams turn clockwise to lock in the trim wing . 5 F inished transition tower assembly .
12 Assembly 6 Pick up the transition tower assembly and insert it as shown into the base so the three holes in the mounting bracket line up with the holes in the tower .
Assembly 13 9 Use a level to bring the tower 90 degrees vertical left to right. 10 When the tower is perfectly plumb, go ahead and tighten the bolts securely .
14 Assembly 12 T ighten tower wing bolt. 13 T ighten base bolts. 14 Connect the tower as shown (red to red, black to black). Figure 26 Figure 27 Figure 28.
Assembly 15 15 Install the ESL wing trim (wedge shaped with pins on the narrow end) by aligning the 5 pins with the corre- sponding cams. The cams turn clockwise to lock the trim with in place.
16 Assembly 18 Use a level to plumb the electrostatic panel left-to- right. 19 Measure the space between towers (top and bottom). The space should measure exactly 2 inches.
Assembly 17 21 Use a level to plumb the electrostatic panel front-to- back. 22 T ighten wing bolts. 23 T ighten base bolts. Figure 35 Figure 36 Figure 37.
18 Assembly 24 Connect light bar 25 Connect electrostatic panel wires to the color-coded screw-terminal connector . 26 ESL panel properly connected. Figure 38 Figure 39 Figure 40.
Assembly 19 27 F ind the loops at the top of the transition tower grill sock. 28 Hook the loops as indicated at the top of the tower . 29 Hook the loops on the bottom of the sock on the bottom of the tower as indicated.
20 Assembly 30 Push the grill sock into the slot provided to stretch the cloth taut, from top to bottom. 31 Place the top of the base into position. Note: Y ou may want to wait before installing the top of the base as settings inside the base may need changing .
Connections—Exos Crossover Inputs 21 Connect the outputs of the Preamplifier/Processor to the inputs of the EXOS using either balanced or single ended connections. There are right channel, left channel and optional 0.1 effects channel inputs. WARNING! Use either all balanced or all single ended connections for signal inputs.
22 Connections—Exos Crossover Outputs Connect the EXOS subwoofer outputs to the amplifier(s) for the woofer towers using either balanced or single ended connections. Both the balanced and single ended outputs are always on—you can use either option to con- nect the woofer tower amplifier(s) regardless of which you used for signal input.
This method of connection uses 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 . Connect one set of wires to the upper set of binding posts which connect to the ESL panel of the Statement e2.
The very nature of vertical bi-amping dictates that both amplifiers be identical. With vertical bi-amping , each of the stereo amplifiers is dedicated to one speaker . F or instance, the left channel of each amplifier drives the low pass (T ransition) section while the right channel drives the high pass (ESL) section.
Connections—Subwoofer T owers 25 This connection method is safe for all amplifiers (see figure 51). 2-Ohm Connection This connection is the loudest, but draws the most power from the amplifier (see figure 52). If using this connection method, make sure your amp can handle 2- Ohms.
The passive high-pass settings can be adjusted by changing the red and black jumpers found in the high-pass section of the ESL/T ransition tower passive crossover . WARNING! Before changing the passive-high pass options be sure to turn the amps off and unplug the Statement e2 ESL/T ransition tower .

28 AC P ower Connections Because your MartinLogan Statement e2 ESL/T ransition towers use an internal power supply to energize their elec- trostatic cells with high-voltage DC, they must be connected to an AC power source. The EXOS crossover must also be connected to an AC power source.
Now that you know all the connection options and how to set them, it’s time to make the speakers work in their target environment. F or this part, it is recommended that an audio analyzer be used (RT A or a computer based instrument). Start with default settings.
Y ou will need to set the dip switches for both right and left channel. Note: Only one dip switch per dip switch cluster should be on at a time. 5 If available, use test equipment to optimize the sub- woofer response. 6 The 50Hz control works the same as the 25Hz control.
T oe in the ESL/T ransition towers so the listener is looking at the inner 1 / 3 of the ESL panels. Sitting at the listening posi- tion, hold a flashlight under your chin and point i t a t each speaker . The reflection of the flashlight should be 1 / 3 of the way out from the inner edge of the panel (see figure 68).
