Cut a round opening of approximately 7.75 inches in diameter, allowing about 4.25 inches of depth behind it, and leave at least a half inch of clearance around the inside of the cutout for the clamps to swing.

Outside the lab, there’s one wildcard their engineers can never account for: Your listening room. Using ARC Technology to ensure seamless low frequency performance in a center channel speaker is incredibly important to the overall realism of the surround-sound system.

The secret to its success are the dual Folded Motion XT tweeters embedded directly behind the XStat electrostatic panel. The unobtrusive tweeter housing design disappears behind the panel, which eliminates high-frequency diffraction, and increases mid-range\/high-frequency phase coherence and time alignment while offering superior dispersion characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFolded Motion XT tweeters are a unique design, and work by moving air (creating sound) perpendicular to the folded ridges of the diaphragm, similar to how an accordion works. This extremely low mass diaphragm “squeezes” air and requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1\" dome tweeter. This produces instantaneous response time with drastically minimized levels of distortion. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet tightly controlled, sound dispersion to create a precise, realistically detailed sound stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBecause of this detailed performance, Folded Motion XT tweeter technology is the ideal match for our electrostatic transducer. In the case of the Illusion ESL C34A, the electrostatic panel is able to expand in its role as mid-range driver, while the lightning-fast high-frequency transient response of tweeters delivers superior imaging precision. The Illusion ESL C34A features dual 1.25\" x 2.4\" Folded Motion XT tweeters, each with a total diaphragm area of 4.5\" x 2.75\".\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eUltra-Rigid AirFrame Blade Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIllusion XStat panels are joined to their speaker cabinets using MartinLogan’s redesigned AirFrame Blade technology, precision manufactured from an aerospace-grade extruded aluminum alloy.

With the exceptional mid-range dynamics of an electrostatic panel, the remarkable details delivered by a Folded Motion Tweeter, and the addition of a newly-designed CenterForce dual woofer system, the most surprising thing about the EM-ESL C isn’t its superior performance. It’s that the EM-ESL C is compact enough to fit easily into today’s most popular A\/V furniture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith the EM-ESL C electrostatic center channel loudspeaker, you can match the acoustic signature of your ElectroMotion Series speakers and build a truly astounding home theater system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eExpanding the Dynamics of Center Channel Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBy adding a compact electrostatic panel to a center channel speaker, MartinLogan engineers have succeeded in expanding the performance dynamics of the most important speaker in your home theater system. Your center channel speaker needs to be able to reproduce the finest high frequency details. The midrange must be expansive; to reproduce every whisper of dialogue. Deep bass adds impact to the front-stage effects that anchor the action to your screen. The EM-ESL C accomplishes all this, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe EM-ESL C has a shallow height CLS (Curvilinear Line Source) XStat electrostatic panel wrapped around the front of the speaker enclosure. The gentle horizontal curve of the panel enhances the output of its deceptively compact 114-square-inch radiating area, extending mid-range dispersion patterns and blending the performance seamlessly with your front-stage ElectroMotion loudspeakers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eJust behind the electrostatic panel, in a specially designed housing, sits MartinLogan’s exclusive Folded Motion Tweeter. The low-mass diaphragm of the Folded Motion Tweeter minimizes distortion, and its short excursion length reinforces its lightning fast high frequency response. The 1 x 1.4-inch Folded Motion Tweeter in the EM-ESL C has a total diaphragm area of 9.2-inches, with the ability to reproduce precise details; one of the most important jobs of a center channel speaker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe New CenterForce™ System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eDesigning a high performance electrostatic center channel speaker sized to fit into A\/V furniture was no easy task. Adding a dual woofer system seemed impossible! But MartinLogan’s skilled audio engineers found a novel solution, and they call it CenterForce. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eInstead of taking up space by positioning the woofers on each side of the electrostatic panel, they’ve designed a central slot inside the cabinet for the woofers. Now, the dual woofers reside in a well-braced enclosure located behind the tweeter and electrostatic panel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis new CenterForce solution allows the speaker to be more compact, and encourages the woofers to produce a generous amount of well-blended deep bass. The CenterForce system in the EM-ESL C features two custom-designed 5.25-inch aluminum cone woofers. Rigid and yet lightweight, this material reduces flexure while minimizing response time. Their efficient construction optimizes suspension and magnetic flux field, further reducing potential sources of distortion. The EM-ESL C grounds its performance in accurate, musical bass response. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis is a center channel speaker that delivers a full-range performance, by combining an electrostatic panel with a Folded Motion Tweeter, bolstered by the CenterForce bass system.

The secret to its success are the dual Folded Motion XT tweeters embedded directly behind the XStat electrostatic panel.

This extremely low mass diaphragm “squeezes” air and requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1\" dome tweeter. This produces instantaneous response time with drastically minimized levels of distortion. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet tightly controlled, sound dispersion to create a precise, realistically detailed sound stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBecause of this detailed performance, Folded Motion XT tweeter technology is the ideal match for our electrostatic transducer.

Outside the lab, there’s one wildcard their engineers can never account for: Your listening room. Using ARC Technology to ensure seamless low frequency performance in a center channel speaker is incredibly important to the overall realism of the surround-sound system.

The secret to its success are the dual Folded Motion XT tweeters embedded directly behind the XStat electrostatic panel. The unobtrusive tweeter housing design disappears behind the panel, which eliminates high-frequency diffraction, and increases mid-range\/high-frequency phase coherence and time alignment while offering superior dispersion characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFolded Motion XT tweeters are a unique design, and work by moving air (creating sound) perpendicular to the folded ridges of the diaphragm, similar to how an accordion works. This extremely low mass diaphragm “squeezes” air and requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1\" dome tweeter. This produces instantaneous response time with drastically minimized levels of distortion. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet tightly controlled, sound dispersion to create a precise, realistically detailed sound stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBecause of this detailed performance, Folded Motion XT tweeter technology is the ideal match for our electrostatic transducer. In the case of the Illusion ESL C34A, the electrostatic panel is able to expand in its role as mid-range driver, while the lightning-fast high-frequency transient response of tweeters delivers superior imaging precision. The Illusion ESL C34A features dual 1.25\" x 2.4\" Folded Motion XT tweeters, each with a total diaphragm area of 4.5\" x 2.75\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUltra-Rigid AirFrame Blade Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIllusion XStat panels are joined to their speaker cabinets using MartinLogan’s redesigned AirFrame Blade technology, precision manufactured from an aerospace-grade extruded aluminum alloy.
