Martin Logan ESL ElectroMotion Speakers

Electrostatics for the real world...

Martin Logan's intro into true Electrostatic Loudpseakers, the critically acclaimed EM ESL offers incredible three-dimensionality and separation. The ElectroMotion ESLrepresents a brave new direction for electrostatic loudspeaker design. The curvilinear XStat electrostatic transducer offers incredible precision in soundstaging due to its ultra low mass design. 

With a 91dB efficiency, these speakers actually present a pretty simple load to the amplifier although it would be best to utilize an amplifier that is stable with high current into low impedance. Due to the inherently transparent nature of the XStat panel both visually and aurally, these can offer a truly large scale of sound while keeping to a minimal aesthetic. There is no compromise.

Features:

• Curvilinear line source technology for excellent high-frequency dispersion
• 34" curvilinear XStat electrostatic transducer

• Proprietary AirFrame technology

• 129 square inches of sound radiating surface
• 8" audiophile grade doped fibre cone woofer
• Frequency response: 42 - 22,000 Hz ±3dB
• Sensitivity: 91 dB / 2.83 volts / metre
• A true dipole - radiates sound with equal intensity from both sides of its diaphragm
• Micro-Perf design substantially increases diaphragm radiating area
• Advanced Vojtko filter topology
• Push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts
• Smooth, sexy satin black finish

AirFrame technology rigidifies the electrostatic panel without obstructing surface area or interfering with ambience enriching dipole sound radiation, as well as providing electric and acoustic isolation and enhancing imaging, low-level sonic detail, accuracy, and efficiency.
