introduction and overview

Placement

Thank you—the MartinLogan owner, for loving what we

do, and making it possible for us to do what we love.

MartinLogan’s dedicated in-house engineering and

design team developed the Bravado speaker and Forte

amplifier to deliver exceptional audio performance for

wireless streaming applications, easily integrated and

installed in a diverse variety of environments.

Anthem

®

Room Correction (ARC) allows you to

analyze the acoustic response of your listening envi-

ronment and adjust output of the Bravado and Forte

for optimal performance.

The Forte amplifier features two channels of dedicated

class-D amplification allowing you to bring wireless

streaming to your existing loudspeakers.

The Bravado speaker produces an enveloping field of

richly detailed audio incorporating two tweeters (fea-

turing MartinLogan’s award-winning Folded Motion

technology), a high-performance woofer, and dedi-

cated class-D amplification.

Additionally, for a fully authentic audio experience,

the Bravado and Forte make connecting a dedicat-

ed subwoofer simple.

We recommend locating the speaker and ampli-

fier on a surface that provides a wide, level, and

stable platform such as a table or audio/video

rack. Please note, this Bravado is not magnetically

shielded and therefore should not be placed direct-

ly beneath or on top of a CRT (cathode ray tube)

television. The magnetic field of the speaker will

not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

connection

AC POWER CONNECTION

The power cord should be firmly inserted into the

AC power receptacle on the rear of the wireless

product, and then to any convenient AC wall out-

let. If you remove your wireless product from the

country of original sale, be certain that the AC

power supplied in any subsequent location is suit-

able before connecting and operating the device.

Substantially impaired performance or severe

damage may occur to the speaker if operation is

attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

Connections are made at the signal input section on

the rear electronics panel of the wireless product.

Your speaker features the following audio inputs:

• Ethernet connection: used for streaming audio

from DTS Play-Fi

®

Apple AirPlay.

• Wi-fi connection: used for streaming audio

from DTS Play-Fi or Apple AirPlay.

•

Analog In: On the Bravado speaker, this input

will accept a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone

style plug. On the Forte amplifier, this input will

accept standard stereo RCA connections.

WARNING! Turn your device off

before making or breaking any sig-

nal connections! WARNING! The

power cord should not be installed,

removed, or left detached from the speaker while

the other end is connected to an AC power source.

Please note, when utilizing this speaker to repro-

duce audio from a television via the speaker’s

Auxiliary (digital or analog) connection, the tele-

vision’s audio output should be defeated. Some

televisions will allow you to turn off the internal

speaker via the television’s menu system. Other

televisions may require you to turn the television’s

volume to “zero” or “mute.” Please refer to your

television’s manual.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your speaker or amp, a LAN

(local area network) connection is required. This

connection can be established using Wi-Fi or

Ethernet. Refer to the wireless setup section of this

manual for setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer

to enhance bass performance. Subwoofers can

be connected via the speaker’s “Sub Out” RCA

connection. We recommend using a superb

MartinLogan subwoofer.

Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for

subwoofer connection, connect “Sub Out” from the

speaker to the “LFE In/Sub In” on the subwoofer.

Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how

to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase con-

trols to achieve proper blending with the speaker.

If you are not running ARC™ (Anthem Room

Correction) the subwoofer’s crossover should be set to

100Hz. If you will be running ARC, set the subwoof-

er’s crossover to “bypass” or “LFE” and for subwoofers

that do not have a “bypass” or “LFE” crossover setting,

adjust the crossover to its highest setting. Run ARC

after connecting and adjusting the subwoofer.

Using a MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer:

If using a MartinLogan Dynamo family subwoofer,

we recommend beginning with the following sub-

woofer settings:

• Low-pass: Bypass

• Phase: 0°

• Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o’clock to

1-o’clock position)

connecting sPeakers to the Forte amPliFier

The speakers to be connected to the Forte ampli-

fier should be rated to handle at least 75 Watts

for 8 Ohm speakers and at least 150 Watts for

4 Ohm speakers. Your Forte amplifier’s binding

posts can be used with spades, banana plug con-

nectors, pins, and bare wire.

IMPORTANT! Correct polarity (or phase) is critical

for proper soundstage imaging and bass perfor-

mance. Connect one speaker at a time to ensure

proper connection of every channel. The red (+)

amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+)

speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (–)

terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened.

Repeat this connection procedure for each speaker

in your system.

IMPORTANT! If you hear a distinct lack of bass

and a dislocated stereo image then one or more

of your speakers may be connected out of phase

(polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each

WARNING! Use Class 2 wiring

only. CAUTION: Do not connect

speakers, which are rated less

than 4 Ohms to the Forte amplifier.

CAUTION: While making connections with

bare wire, ensure that none of your bare wire

comes in contact with a an adjacent terminal.

an overview oF connections

Analog Left/Right RCA: [Forte amplifier] The analog input on the Forte amplifier can

accept an analog stereo signal through a cable using RCA connectors. An ana-

log RCA cable can only pass a single channel of audio information between

a source component and audio output device. To achieve two-channels of

audio (left/right), you will find that analog RCA cables come bundled as a

stereo pair (two connectors on each end).

Analog Left/Right 3.5mm Stereo “Headphone Style” Jack: [Bravado speaker] The

analog input on the Bravado speaker can accept an analog stereo signal through

a cable using a 3.5mm “headphone style” connector. Users may find source

components such as digital media players and docks also utilize a 3.5mm

‘headphone style’ connector. These devices also have a “volume control”

that increases or decreases the level of the output signal.

Analog Left/Right RCA to Stereo 3.5mm: Users may find they need to

connect an audio source with 3.5mm headphone style jack to the RCA inputs

on the Forte amplifier, or connect an audio source with RCA outputs to the

3.5mm input on the Bravado speaker. To connect to these devices use a Left/

Right RCA to stereo 3.5mm cable.

Ethernet: This cable allows you to physically connect a device to a LAN (local area net-

work). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this speaker

using various protocols (such as DTS Play-Fi

®

or Apple AirPlay). If a wireless

(Wi-Fi) connection is used to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use an

Ethernet connection. However, in some installations, a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet

connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

Wi-Fi: This connection technology wirelessly connects a device to a LAN (local area

network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this speaker

using various protocols (such as DTS Play-Fi or AirPlay). If an Ethernet connection is used

to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use a Wi-Fi connection. In some installations a ‘hard-wired’

Ethernet connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

To enable auto input mode hold the input button for

five seconds. Hold it again for five seconds to cancel.

POSITION SWITCH (BRAVADO ONLY):

The rear of the Bravado speaker features a switch

that allows you to customize the output of the speak-

er for specific applications. If the speaker is being

used for stereo output, set this switch to “stereo”.

If a stereo pair of the speakers are being used in

a 2-channel application, set the switch to “left” or

“right” depending on the speaker position.

CONNECTING TO A WIRELESS NETWORK:

WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature found

on most wireless routers that allows your wireless

product to securely and automatically connect

without needing to enter a password. WPS is not

a standard feature on all routers, and only one

wireless product can be set up at a time.

Check your router’s owner’s manual to see if WPS

is an available feature, or look for a button on

your router marked with the WPS logo ( ). If your

router does not have WPS, then use Access Point

Wireless Setup.

1. For optimal setup conditions place your wireless

product next to your wireless router. The device

can be moved to its final location after wi-fi setup.

2. Plug in your wireless product and press the

Power button. The Wi-Fi Indicator light will start

rapidly blinking for about 20 seconds while your

wireless product is booting up. If your wireless

product is not configured to connect to your

network, it will continue to blink. If this is the first

time your new wireless product is plugged in,

the Wi-Fi Indicator light will start pulsing slowly.

If the wireless product is already configured to

connect to a wi-fi network, the button will turn

solid (connected) or blink rapidly (not connected).

3. To initiate Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), for 3

seconds, press and hold the Wireless Setup

button on the back of your wireless product until

you hear a tone. The Wi-Fi Indicator light will

blink twice in continuous intervals to indicate

WPS mode. Now push the WPS button ( ) on

your router. If you cannot find a WPS button on

your router, refer to the router’s owner’s manual.

4. Once the Wi-Fi Indicator light turns solid (not

blinking), this indicates your wireless product

is connected to your wireless network. If, after

a minute, the button continues to blink rapidly,

setup failed and you should try again.

5. Connect your mobile device or PC to the same

network as your wireless product.

Launch the DTS

Play-Fi app. Upon launching, it will automatically

detect your wireless product and should prompt

you to name your wireless product.

17

CONNECTING TO A WIRED NETWORK

1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your wireless

product to your router.

2. Plug in your wireless product and press the

Power button. The Wi-Fi Indicator light will start

rapidly blinking for about 20 seconds while

your wireless product is booting up.

3. The Wi-Fi Indicator light turns off when the

wireless product is connected via Ethernet.

4. Connect your mobile device or PC to the same

network as your wireless product.

Launch the DTS

Play-Fi

®

app. Upon launching, it will automatically

detect your wireless product and should prompt

you to name your wireless product.

APPLE AIRPLAY SETUP (WITHOUT DTS APP)

If you do not want to install and use the DTS Play-Fi

®

app you can still setup the wireless product to work

with iTunes and AirPlay on your Mac or Windows

PC using the following procedure.

Alternate Connection for Mac and Windows PC:

1. To avoid a delayed wireless set up, place

your wireless product in close proximity to your

router during wireless set up.

2. Plug in your wireless product and press the

Power button. The Wi-Fi Indicator light will start

rapidly blinking for about 20 seconds while your

wireless product is booting up. If your wireless

product is not configured to connect to your

network, it will continue to blink. If this is the first

time your new wireless product is plugged in,

the Wi-Fi Indicator light will start pulsing slowly.

If the wireless product is already configured to

connect to a wi-fi network, the button will turn

solid (connected) or blink rapidly (not connected).

3.

Once the Wi-Fi Indicator light starts pulsing

slowly, your wireless product is in Access Point

Mode and ready to connect to your wireless

network. Note: If the Wi-Fi Indicator light does

not pulse slowly, press and hold the Wi-Fi Setup

button for 8 seconds. You will hear two tones—

one at 3 seconds and another at 8 seconds.

After 20 seconds, the Wi-Fi Setup and Status

button will begin pulsing slowly to indicate

Access Point mode is ready. At anytime you can

press the button again to cancel the setup mode.

4. Ensure that Wi-fi is enabled on your computer.

Go to your computer’s Wi-Fi set up. Select the

Wi-Fi network with “Play-Fi ” in the name.

5. Once your wireless product is selected as the

Wi-Fi network, open your web browser and

type http://192.168.0.1/index.html in the

address bar. You will see a web page from

your wireless product.

6. Click on ‘Set Up’. A list of wireless networks will

be displayed. Click on the wireless network

you wish to connect to.

7. Enter the password for your wireless network

then click ‘Next’.

8. Enter a name for your wireless product and

then click ‘Next’ to connect your wireless

product to your network.

9. Your wireless product will attempt to connect

to your network. Once the Wi-Fi Indicator light

turns solid (not blinking), this indicates your

wireless product is connected to your wireless

network. If the Wireless button rapidly blinks,

setup failed and should be tried again.

10. Connect your Mac or PC to the same network

as your wireless product. Open your music

application, press the AirPlay icon, and choose

your speaker from the list.

AUTOMATIC INPUT SELECTION

Your speaker will automatically switch to the

streaming input if it detects that a new Play-Fi con-

nection has been established with the speaker.

PLAYBACK – FROM THE DTS APP

Note: Future updates to the DTS Play-Fi application

may change functionality.

1. Launch the DTS Play-Fi app on your mobile

device or PC (located in the system tray).

2. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the

Play-Fi app, select your music source. You can

choose from your personal music library, Internet

Radio, or from select internet music services. PC

Users: Any audio content from your computer

can be streamed using Play-Fi.

3.

If you have more than one Play-Fi speaker

connected to your network, you will be prompted

to select the speaker to which you want to stream.

CONTROLLING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS

If you have more than one Play-Fi speaker connect-

ed to your network, you can simultaneously stream

the same audio to multiple speakers.

1. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the

app, press the Play-Fi logo in the lower corner

of the app. PC Users: open the Play-Fi program

using the icon in your system tray.

2.

Select additional devices to play audio from.

PC Users: The free version of the Windows app

may not allow streaming to multiple speakers. An

upgraded version of the DTS Play-Fi app, with this

capability, can be purchased from the DTS website.

Note: 8 Play-Fi speakers can be synced to

play the same audio content at the same time.

We recommend up to 32 Play-Fi speakers on

a network for the best experience, but the only

limit to connected devices is how many your

router can support.

TIP! Primary and Secondary Speakers

When streaming audio content to multiple devices,

you will be asked to assign them to two categories:

primary and secondary devices. The DTS Play-Fi

module requires a primary device be selected.

This maximizes synchronization between multiple

devices simultaneously streaming the same content.

Select the DTS Play-Fi

device with the strongest signal

as your primary device. Secondary devices connect

to your primary device, so if you disable your primary

device, you will need to select a new primary device

before audio resumes on your secondary devices.

ADDITIONAL PLAY-FI FEATURES

New versions of the Play-Fi app will add features

not mentioned in this manual. Please refer to the

app and related documentation for details on new

and enhanced features such as streaming different

audio content to multiple zones and grouping of two

discrete speakers for stereo (left/right) playback.

arc™ (anthem room correction)

Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned,

the room itself still has a dramatic impact on any

system’s sound, an impact more profound than that

of any individual component. Various solutions have

fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has

solved the problem of “the room.” Until ARC.

Using proprietary processes and the power of your

PC, the ARC system analyzes each speaker’s in-

room sound, then computes the required correction

to yield optimal performance from every speaker.

It’s a process that takes approximately 5 minutes.

Anthem’s approach is a true audiophile solution to

the problems of the room.

IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent while

performing ARC. A noisy computer fan, a dishwasher

or microwave running, etc. can negatively affect

ARC’s measurements.

How to Use ARC Technology:

1. Ensure that your wireless product is already

connected to your home network and is

powered on.

2. Download the latest Window’s version of ARC-2

software from www.anthemav.com or “Anthem

ARC Mobile” from the iTunes App Store and

install it. Follow the on-screen instructions.

3. Window’s only: Using the USB cable, connect

the ARC microphone to a Windows PC. The

USB cable and ARC microphone are provided

with your soundbar.

4. Look for the icon and launch the ARC

program. Follow the prompts on your screen to

successfully run the ARC™ software; the entire

process should take approximately 5 minutes.

5.

Hold the ARC microphone with your arm fully

extended, the ARC microphone tip must point towards

the ceiling and it must be positioned at ear level.

6. For best results, hold the microphone in 5

positions around the room.

TIP! Once the ARC process is complete, the

corrected listening curves will be stored and music

will be played back reflecting these corrections.

To turn ARC correction on and off, press and hold

the mute button for 5 seconds. A ‘negative tone’

will sound to verify ARC is switched off. A ‘positive

tone’ will sound to verify ARC is switched on.
