1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Martin Audio LE Series monitor. LE Series

monitors have always set the industry standard for touring and stage

applications. All monitors except the LE400C utilise differential dispersion

horn technology to define a high frequency coverage footprint that is

particularly useful for stage monitor applications.

2 UNPACKING

Each Martin Audio loudspeaker is built to the highest standard and

thoroughly inspected before it leaves the factory. After unpacking the

system, examine it carefully for any signs of transit damage and inform

your dealer if any such damage is found. It is suggested that you retain

the original packaging so that the system can be repacked at a future

date if necessary.

Please note that Martin Audio and its distributors cannot accept any

responsibility for damage to any returned product through the use of

non-approved packaging.

3 OVERVIEW

The LE Series products covered in this guide include the LE350A, LE12J,

LE400C and LE700A. All except the LE400C feature differential dispersion

horn technology. A differential dispersion horn varies its horizontal

dispersion from wide to narrow as a performer moves back from the

monitor. This narrowing dispersion effectively changes the forward gain of

the horn which enables the horn to throw further, increasing the operating

range of the monitor and reducing excess spill.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that the LE Series monitors

in active mode are used with the MX5 System Controller or an appropriate

digital controller such as the Martin Audio DX1. Please refer to the

appropriate controller user guide for information on connections and correct

limiter settings.

3.1 LE350A

The LE350A is a low-profile monitor with differential dispersion horn

technology and a 12" (305mm) bass driver. It is normally supplied as a

passive system, available active to order. It can be configured as a left or

right-handed monitor by unscrewing the baffle and moving the horn to the

required end.

3.2 LE12J

Featuring differential dispersion horn technology, the LE12J utilises a high

sensitivity 12" (305mm) bass driver and a 1.4" (35mm) exit titanium

diaphragm compression driver. It is an active 2-way system and is supplied

in either left or right-handed versions. It is capable of extremely high output

levels for its small size and its horizontal coverage pattern of 100 degrees

at close range and 50 degrees at distance is ideal for stage monitor

situations.

3.3 LE400C

The LE400 has become the industry standard wedge monitor. The LE400C

utilises a 15" (385mm) bass driver and a high frequency compression driver

mounted on a 40 x 70 degree horn. It features a twin-angle enclosure

design, a rotatable baffle to avoid the need for dedicated left and right-

handed versions and a switchable active/passive crossover.

3.4 LE700A

The LE700A is an active 2-way monitor with a high power 15" (385mm)

bass driver and a 1.4" (35mm) exit compression driver mounted on a

differential dispersion horn. This horn design allows the artist to move

freely over a large area without loss of information. For flexibility, the

LE700A has a rotatable baffle to allow left or right-handed configurations.

4 SAFETY FIRST

It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner.

Please take some time to review the following points concerning safe use

of LE Series loudspeakers.

Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound

levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can

result from levels above 90dB if people are exposed for a long period.

Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high level.

5 AMPLIFICATION

LE Series monitors are designed to be used with professional power

amplifiers capable of producing the following power outputs into 4 ohms:

LE350A 500-700W

LE12J 500-700W

LE400C 500-700W

LE700A 550-800W

Care should be taken to avoid amplifier clipping. It is important to

understand that a low power amplifier driven into clipping is more likely to

damage a loudspeaker than a higher power amplifier used within its ratings.

This is because music signals have a high peak-to-average "crest" factor.

When an amplifier is severely overdriven, its output waveform is clipped (its

peaks are squared off) – reducing the crest factor. In extreme cases, the

waveform can approach that of a square wave. An amplifier is normally

capable of producing far more power under these conditions than its

undistorted rated power output.

The use of very high power amplifiers with outputs greater than those

recommended is discouraged.

Care should be taken to avoid switch-on surges, which can result in

momentary power peaks in excess of specified ratings. When powering up

a sound system it is important to switch on the amplifiers after the mixer

and control electronics have stabilised. When powering down the system,

reverse the sequence and switch off the amplifiers first.

7 CABLE LENGTHS

When connecting loudspeaker systems to an amplifier, it is recommended

that the return resistance of the cable used is less than one tenth of the

nominal impedance of the system or systems in parallel. The table below

gives an indication of the maximum permissible cable runs for various

conductor cross-sectional areas.
