Exciting 3.1-Channel Speaker and Dynamo 600X Sub ComboEnjoy this powerful yet compact 3.1-channel speaker and subwoofer kit from MartinLogan, starring two Motion 4i bookshelf speakers for front channels, one MartinLogan Motion 8i center channel speaker, and a MartinLogan Dynamo 600X powered subwoofer. MartinLogan Motion 4i Bookshelf SpeakerThe term 'bookshelf speakers' sounds so stuffy. It just doesn't do justice to the sleek and windswept look of MartinLogan's awesome Motion 4 speakers. Set 'em next to your TV, mount them on the wall, or place them on a stand. They work great and sound BIG as front channel speakers in a mid-size home theater system or as surround speakers in a larger set-up. The Motion 4i is particularly well equipped to excel with two-channel music as well as with multi-channel entertainment sources. Its driver complement consists of a 1" x 1.4" Folded Motion™ high-frequency transducer with a 5.25" x 1.75" diaphragm plus a 4" low frequency driver with stamped steel basket, non-resonant asymmetrical chamber format, and rigid structured dust cap to reduce cone break-up modes. The Motion i SeriesInspired by the clarity and detail of MartinLogan’s ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion 2i, 4i, 6i, and 8i feature exquisite Folded Motion tweeters and powerful bass technology in compact and affordable packages. Key to performance is the lightning fast response of the tweeter’s light-weight diaphragm combined with a large surface area (much larger than a typical one-inch dome tweeter) which together achieve a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity certain to inspire envy in audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike. Precision Vojtko™ crossover topology features custom air core coil inductors, low DCR steel laminate inductors, and polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors for a seamless sonic presentation. Flexible installation options allow table top or on-wall installation of all four speakers. Motion 2i and 4i bookshelf speakers can also mount upside down to facilitate placement high on a wall. Motion 6i and 8i can mount horizontally or vertically around a wall-mounted flat screen television. Engineering GeniusWhat makes the Motion i Series sound so amazing? MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineering team started by utilizing and refining the most advanced, compact technologies and combining them with innovative engineering. The result is an emotionally engaging sound that rivals (and most times trounces) traditional loudspeakers of similar size and price. Folded Motion™ TweeterMartinLogan's exclusive and highly innovative Folded Motion™ Tweeter helps gives Motion i speakers their fantastically realistic highs. Lightning fast transient response, combined with a large surface area creates clear, highly dynamic, and precise sound. The Folded Motion™ Tweeter works by moving air (which creates 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 percent less excursion than the typical 1" dome tweeter, which drastically minimizes distortion while providing a lighting fast response time. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet controlled sound dispersion to create a realistic and carefully etched sound stage. Vojtko™ CrossoverContributing to the superb performance is the legendary Vojtko™ crossover. It is carefully hand-built using only the finest polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors, custom air-core coils, and low DCR steel laminate inductor for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source. Curve AppealComplementing Motion's sonic accuracy is elegant yet understated styling. Flawless high-gloss, piano black finishes and subtle curves, along with MartinLogan's signature perforated grille, gives Motion i Series speakers an elegant and timeless look. Tower models feature a real-wood veneer finish and a stylish aesthetic certain to blend with any decor. Hook-ups, SimplifiedConvenient push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts help guide speaker wire effortlessly into place. The rubber end caps on the terminal are also removable for the use of banana plugs instead of bare wire. So simple, you'll actually enjoy hooking up these speakers. MartinLogan Motion 8i Center SpeakerMartinLogan's Motion 8i is a sleek, high performance center channel speaker that looks great with today's TVs. Inspired by the clarity and detail of MartinLogan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion 8i features a Folded Motion™ tweeter and powerful bass technology in a compact and affordable package. Set it under you set or mount it on the wall for superb sound quality. The Motion 8i excels with music, movies, and other multi-channel entertainment sources. Its driver complement consists of a 1" x 1.4" Folded Motion™ high-frequency transducer with a 5.25" x 1.75" diaphragm plus two 4" low frequency drivers with stamped steel basket in a non-resonant asymmetrical chamber format wit rigid structured dust cap to reduce cone break-up modes. MartinLogan Dynamo 600X Powered SubwooferMartinLogan's Dynamo 600X features a 240-watt peak-power amplifier, 10-inch audiophile grade woofer, extensive input options, optional wireless connectivity, control via a Bluetooth app, and Anthem Room Correction (AR). Dramatic bass detail and attack, superb extension, and room-shaking output ensure a compelling music and home theater experience. In his August 6, 2018 review for WiFi HiFi, David Susilo calls the Dynamo 600X "an affordable little sub with an enormous growl… Listening to the Casiopea Perfect Live II LaserDisc, it's clear to me that the sub is extremely tight. When a drum is whacked, this sound is accurately reproduced with the same tightness. Bass guitars are accurately reproduced. You can hear the distinction when the bassist goes between open and closed notes as well as how tight he is gripping the strings. The bass drum kicks in Conjunction and Tetsuo Sakurai's bass guitar slaps are so impressive. Now that is accurate!" Left and Right Two-Channel Inputs with LFEDynamo 600X features left and right inputs via RCA line level as well as speaker level connections. The right input doubles as an LFE input for home theater applications. MartinLogan Sub Control AppMartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android uses a Bluetooth connection to simplify setup and configuration of Dynamo 600X. App based controls include volume level, low-pass filter (frequency and order), phase, 20–30Hz level, three preset listening modes, and control of Anthem Room Correction. A unique tone sweep feature assists users in locating areas in listening rooms where troublesome rattles or resonances may occur. A single press of a button allows listeners to initiate a tone sweep from 20–120Hz. If a rattle or resonance occurs in the room any frequency can be held, allowing the listener to investigate and identify the source of the unwanted noise. Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Mobile AppIn the lab, MartinLogan engineers strive for transparency. Outside the lab, there’s one wildcard its engineers can never account for—the listening room. The unique size and shape of a listening space (and its contents) can make bass waves do unpredictable things, greatly affecting a subwoofer’s overall performance. The Anthem Room Correction app for iOS and Android measures low-frequency sound output in a room and compares it to optimal response curves that account for spatial anomalies. The advanced algorithms of Anthem Room Correction effectively remove anomalies, leaving only the ideal standard— realistically blended, natural-sounding bass. Dynamo 600X utilizes a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone or USB connection with a PC to run Anthem Room Correction. Optional SWT-X Wireless InputAlthough correct placement plays a key role in optimizing subwoofer performance, sometimes it imposes the inconvenience of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets. To solve the problem, Dynamo 600X includes a connection port for an optional wireless system. MartinLogan’s new SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer System (sold separately) incorporates the latest in wireless audio transmission technology, including 2.4GHz dynamic frequency selection, forward error correction, and a range up to 50 feet. Easy to install in the subwoofer, the SWT-X receiver requires no external power source or audio connections. Powerful, High-Excursion, Low-Turbulence, Inverted Surround WoofersThe latest generation of MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofers feature advanced-design woofers with inverted surrounds and powerful magnet, motor, and suspension designs. In front-fire mode the unique inverted surround design maximizes excursion clearance behind the grill cover. When positioned in a down-firing configuration, the inverted surround significantly reduces airflow related turbulence for an articulate and detailed low-frequency experience. These advanced-technology woofers pair a high-power magnet structure (significantly more robust than previous generations) with low-mass diaphragms to provide massive excursions while perfectly preserving the tiniest bass detail. The exceptional damping properties of the cone ensure a smooth, non-resonant response necessary for truly seamless blending with high-performance loudspeakers. Every element of Dynamo subwoofers has been meticulously designed to deliver a staggering low-frequency performance – all without a hint of distortion. Advanced Ultra-Efficient Switch Mode Power Supplies and Class-D AmplifiersDynamo subwoofer class-D amplifiers operate with extremely low levels of distortion and deliver dynamic impact with plenty of overhead. Low- noise, high-power switching power supplies produce clean power efficiently in a small space and effortlessly provide tremendous levels of current. Both feature high-quality MOSFET transistors, transformers, noise-suppression networks, and control circuitry. The switching power supply combined with reliable class-D technology means there’s virtually no energy lost in the subwoofer system. Inverse Mathematical Equalization (IME) FilterThe IME filter used in the Dynamo subwoofers is derived from the inverse of the unfiltered driver response. Precision IME filtering yields extremely accurate low-frequency response—superior to that provided by the simple second-order high-Q filters typically found in subwoofers in this price range. Low-Turbulence PortsWhen properly optimized and executed, ports are a convenient, cost-effective way to increase low-frequency output. Dynamo 400 and 600X feature tuned, long low-turbulence ports designed to provide superb low-end extension while minimizing port induced distortion. Kit Includes
