INCOMPARABLE ESL PRECISION

Why do all MartinLogan electrostatic loudspeaker (ESL)
systems reproduce each sound so accurately?

At the heart of every MartinLogan speaker lies an ultra­thin transparent diaphragm—the patented curvilinear
line source (CLS) electrostatic transducer.

Driven by charged electrons and weighing less than the
air it moves, the CLS diaphragm is so responsive it
reproduces sound at levels only associated with the finest
audio electronics.

With indistinguishably low distortion, the patented
MartinLogan diaphragm precisely tracks the input signal,
engages the air, and transmits the audio signal to your
ear—flawlessly.

The electrostatic transducer’s low distortion and
curvilinear line source combine to provide detail,
power, and clarity with minimal room interaction
—unavailable any other way.

From an audio culture built on the dedication needed to explode
myth after myth—designers, engineers, and artisans each cultivating
perfection—comes the new MartinLogan A

SCENT.

Uncompromised electrostatic technology at a modest price. The veil
vanishes—sudden clarity provides pure immersive experience.
Massive air bursting dynamics connect you with the essence of every
scene and every performance—high performance audio and home
theater as it was intended.

A

SCENT

expresses the unique MartinLogan language of form and
function. It embodies the look and break-through technology of its
sibling—Prodigy—in a sculpted cabinet that is sleek, compact,
and beautifully finished. Its all new design leverages both the
MartinLogan CLS (curvilinear line source) electrostatic technology
and our long experience in hybrid speaker system design. A

SCENT

maintains controlled dispersion—for minimal room interaction
—while providing outstanding dynamic range, imaging, and detail.

A

SCENT features advanced construction techniques—specially

designed stator supports and composite headpiece for maximum
stator rigidity and astonishing clarity. Its trim fastening system
enables quick and easy trim rail changes to complement any decor.
A redesigned crossover, proprietary audiophile CE certified binding
posts, increased cabinet rigidity, and MartinLogan energy transfer
coupler (ETC) spikes provide tighter bass and increased dynamics.
