HE REFERENCE EXPERIENCE

20 Years ago MartinLogan realized the impossi­ble and brought electrostatic—ESL—sound
technology out of the laboratory and into the
living room, creating a new standard for refer­ence listening.

Today, that experience embodies a far broader
meaning. "Home Theater" is the beginning point.
Every performance must bring us closer to total
immersion in sight and sound. We pursue total
system integration at all levels—extending from
an uncompromised music-only environment to a
completely virtual audio/video event.

As tomorrow's technologies reveal new direc­tions in performance media, music, film/video
production, expanded internet capabilities,
multi-dimensional game play, and synergetic
communication—we continue our commitment
to providing seamless access to the total refer­ence experience.

Each dipolar transition tower combines our
highly evolved curvilinear electrostatic
transducer with a midrange dipolar array
incorporating eight, seven-inch proprietary
MartinLogan drivers for extensive power
handling, efficiency, and bandwidth.
Housed within the massive densified com­posite chassis, the exhaustively engineered
Statement

E2 crossover represents new stan-

dards of power and precision.

TATEMENT E2

The culmination of engineering, passion,
and dedication to the ultimate sound
reproduction system.

Our mission began to create a pathway
toward incomparable musical enjoyment
by harnessing a lightning storm—electro­static sound reproduction technology.

From that mind set we start each day
determined to make our dream real—man­ufacture the ultimate sound reproduction
system. That commitment has produced a
series of breakthroughs systematically
resolving what were then the impossible
issues of achieving outstanding dispersion,
dynamic range, reliability, and power han­dling using electrostatic technology.

Along the way, our efforts have uncovered
the magic that only ESL (electrostatic
loudspeaker) technology can provide—a
vanishing noise floor, ultra-fast settling
time, and transient response as fast as the
electrical signal itself—a new plateau of
performance.

Every element of the system has been
redesigned for ultimate performance,
from the easy-access audiophile grade ter­minals to the custom engineered ETC

TM

(energy transfer coupler) spikes.

Texture, ambience, 3-dimensionality, and
palpable energy bursts—shocking in
power and grace. Experience the living
performance—real and perfectly rendered
as it was conceived.

Each sub-bass tower consists of eight individ­ually mounted and isolated 12-inch, high
excursion proprietary drivers in a
BalancedForce

TM

configuration. This innova­tion cancels the mechanical reactive forces
produced by sub-bass dynamics, resulting in
startlingly clean, yet powerful bass.

The companion EXOSTMActive Crossover
flawlessly matches the sub-bass array to the
ESL dipolar transition tower. Benefiting from
advanced small signal engineering, it allows
total and uncompromised tailoring to any lis­tening environment.
