ESIGN CONCEPT

The new Prodigy incorporates many of the technological advances
developed by MartinLogan design and research for the incomparable
Statement evolution2. The result is the highest resolution system in its
class, available in an exquisite cabinet that is surprisingly compact and
an outstanding performer with any music source. Prodigy includes
advances such as a new generation proprietary CLS (curvilinear line
source) electrostatic drive transducer, and a revolutionary hybrid
drive configuration and cabinet that eliminates room interaction and
resonances. A distinct benefit of these advances is reference level
performance in a broader range of listening room arrangements. The
unique, compact cabinet combines a see-though look with elegant
form, texture and craftsmanship, which will complement any décor.

MartinLogan's proprietary, 0.0005" transparent electrically charged
diaphragm, suspended by new MartinLogan ClearSpars

, provides
increased sensitivity, power handling and bandwidth extension. The
CLS electrostatic drive transducer's wide high-frequency distribution
minimizes interaction with listening room side walls, thus eliminating
unnatural sonic artifacts and allowing for easy placement.

ORCE FORWARD BASS ALIGNMENT

The MartinLogan Design Team has resolved the room placement
problems of bass standing waves by utilizing two independently
enclosed 10" proprietary dynamic drivers per channel manufactured
exclusively to MartinLogan design specifications, along with their
proprietary Force Forward Bass Alignment design. This innovative
technology controls interaction with listening-room rear walls, minimizing
standing waves for astonishingly clean, pure, and powerful bass
throughout the room from a reduced chamber format.

CROSSOVER TOPOLOGY

Physically separated high-pass and low-pass crossovers for minimum
magnetic interaction between the filters, point-to-point wiring, low
dissipation low-pass capacitors and MartinLogan custom connection
wire results in increased clarity and bandwidth. New dual transformer
topology results in lower distortion, extended high frequency
response and increased power handling.

ABINETRY AND DETAILS

Prodigy is the result of MartinLogan's commitment to the marriage of
its technology and world-class industrial design, resulting in increased
performance from a compact package. The multi-laminate composite
cabinetry integrates a matrix assembly for strength. An aluminium
alloy head piece and side plate increase rigidity of the ESL frame for a
solid, damped, non-resonant, high-performace assembly. The combination
of these advances elevates detail, dynamics, and resolution.

Prodigy incorporates recent MartinLogan Design Team benefits such
as custom CE certified binding post connectors which hand tighten for
an audiophile grade connection. The new MartinLogan ETC (energy
transfer coupler) super spikes engage the cabinet to the floor for cleaner,
tighter bass response and integration.

Resulting from our uncompromised commitment to high technology
and industrial design, Prodigy establishes new aesthetic, technological,
and listening standards.
