Angled Version of the Popular Motiion MC6 In-Ceiling Speaker
MartinLogan's Motion MC6-HT is the angled version of the company's popular MC6 in-ceiling speaker. By designing the speaker with a fixed tweeter and woofer angle, MartinLogan was able to tune the performance of the speaker far more accurately than universal pivoting designs.
Eliminating the variable of tweeter and woofer angle allows the precision Vojtko crossover network to be tuned for more accurate and predictable results. The MC6-HT is recommended for applications where you'll spend most of your time not directly underneath the speaker while enjoying movies and music.
MartinLogan Motion CI Series Speakers
As with all MartinLogan Motion CI Series custom installation speakers, the MC6-HT features the signature Folded Motion Tweeter (FMT). This innovative piece of audio technology provides incredible detail, precise clarity, clean output and high efficiency in a small but mighty package.
Pairing this tweeter with lightweight woven fiberglass woofers means that Motion CI delivers a clean and balanced sound that is perfectly suited for any application. Whether you listen to music, movies or a little bit of everything, Motion CI gives you a true high-end audio experience at an affordable price. To round out the assortment, pre-construction brackets are available for all models, and all in-ceiling models have square grilles and retrofittable back enclosures available separately.
The Sound of Invisibility: Folded Motion® Tweeters
MartinLogan's signature Folded Motion Tweeter utilizes an extremely low-mass diaphragm that "squeezes" air, thus requiring significantly less excursion than the typical 1-inch dome tweeter.
Its folded design allows for a much larger surface area (compared to that of a regular 1-inch dome tweeter), controlled dispersion characteristics, and vanishingly low distortion. It's a miracle of audio engineering that delivers much of the high-frequency detail, speed and response of a large, dynamic electrostatic panel in a small space.
This thin-film transducer design packs all the accuracy and delicacy of an electrostatic panel into a small space. Folding the dramatically lightweight film into an accordion-like structure increases the surface area, giving Folded Motion tweeters eight to ten times greater surface area than typical tweeters.
This ideal combination of light and large produces superior accuracy, extended frequency bandwidth and higher output capability; all with a faster, more efficient transient response, and virtually zero distortion. In these characteristics, the Folded Motion Tweeter design can mimic the performance of a large electrostatic panel in the confines of a more traditional loudspeaker enclosure.
Woven Fiberglass Cones
All Motion CI speakers feature lightweight woven fiberglass cones specifically engineered for their application to blend seamlessly with the lightning speed of MartinLogan's signature Folded Motion Tweeter. No matter which Motion CI speaker you choose for your room, rest assured they are designed to provide a consistently high level of performance and can easily be used with other MartinLogan speakers to make creating the perfect system for your unique listening space that much easier.
The MartinLogan Sound
MartinLogan Motion CI speakers sound great in any room. Regardless of the environment, these speakers just sound better, more articulate, more detailed, and more realistic. With Controlled Dispersion and one of the most responsive tweeters in the industry, MartinLogan's in-wall and in-ceiling models can compete with and often exceed the performance of traditional cabinet speakers.
Spring-Loaded Binding Posts
With easy pre-installation access, the spring-loaded binding posts feature a large 4.5mm wire access hole and connect via banana plug, pin, or 12AWG bare wire.
Micro-Perforated Grilles
The MC6-HT features an ultra-low profile, paintable, micro-perforated grilles with no visible bezel for a near-invisible integration into any wall or ceiling. A series of powerful magnets hidden inside the speaker quickly secure grilles into place, reducing the risk of warping or damage during installation. Optional square grilles are available for the MC6-HT.
Proprietary Vojtko™ Crossover Networks
Vojtko Crossovers are named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko. His unique approach to crossover design is just as crucial to MartinLogan's Truth in Sound as are the innovative electrostatic and Folded Motion thin-film driver technologies. A Vojtko Crossover isn't just a set of design requirements; it's a philosophy.
Vojtko Crossovers are hand-built from the highest quality components and avoid overly complex topologies. This crossover has a straightforward objective: breathtaking realism.
Hand-Selected Components
In designing each crossover topology, MartinLogan takes the drivers themselves into consideration. Carefully selected drivers, engineered for specific performance characteristics, are kept within their optimal frequency range by the custom Vojtko Crossover.
Each crossover is handcrafted using exceptional polypropylene and polyester capacitors, custom wound and large steel laminate low-DCR inductors, and double thick PCBs. This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source. It's a recipe for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration.
The most critical aspect of a Vojtko Crossover design is the final voicing, always conducted in a real-world environment. This uniquely pragmatic approach guarantees that even the most amazing MartinLogan loudspeakers deliver Truth in Sound in any room, including yours.
