Most soundbars cover only part of that, so the sound stays bunched in the middle while the picture stretches out. The MartinLogan Discrete Cinema Soundbar 75 measures 65.4 inches wide. It runs nearly edge to edge under the screen it was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eInside one slim bar are three discrete speakers: left, center, and right. Each one is wired separately. Because the bar is passive, your AV receiver or amplifier powers it and handles the decoding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eTwice the Center-Channel Woofers, Where Dialogue Lives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThe Soundbar 75 carries 13 drivers. Three Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeters cover the highs, one per channel. Ten 4-inch woven fiberglass woofers handle the midrange and upper bass. Compared with the smaller Soundbar 65, MartinLogan doubled the woofers in the center channel and added more to the left and right channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThe cabinet is just 4.76 inches tall and 2.37 inches deep, and it weighs 18 pounds. A low-profile wall bracket is included. You can also attach the bar to the TV itself with the MartinLogan TV Mount Kit, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eCheck Your Receiver, Then Add a Subwoofer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThe bar is rated at 4 ohms and works with amplifiers rated for 4, 6, or 8 ohms. MartinLogan recommends 20 to 210 watts. It is designed for the front channels of a home theater rather than deep bass, so plan on a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.25em; margin: 1.4em 0 0.35em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhat Fits Inside a Cabinet Only 2.37 Inches Deep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eStart with the tweeter. Each Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter folds a 5.25 by 1.75 inch thin film diaphragm into a driver just 1 by 1.4 inches. That puts far more working surface in a small space than a typical dome tweeter. A Folded Motion Waveguide guides the output, with rated dispersion of 90 by 90 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThat wide pattern is meant for real rooms, where family and friends spread across a sofa. It aims to reach every seat, not only the one in the middle, with the same tweeter on each channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eThe Case for an Aluminum Cabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThe enclosure is sealed, extruded aluminum. Its strength allows thinner walls than MDF, which leaves more room inside a very slim shape. MartinLogan isolates the three channels from one another within the cabinet, so left, center, and right stay truly separate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eA 2.5-way crossover divides the signal between tweeters and woofers. Rated frequency response is 100 Hz to 25 kHz, ±3 dB. Sensitivity is 93 dB at 2.83 volts and one meter, an efficient rating that lets an everyday AV receiver drive the bar without strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWire It on the Floor, Hang It Once\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eRemovable Phoenix-style connectors with tool-free levers let you pre-wire the bar before it goes up. Once it is mounted, recessed channels in the chassis keep the speaker cables out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.25em; margin: 1.4em 0 0.35em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWho Is This Passive Soundbar Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; padding-left: 1.4em; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners of 75-inch class TVs\u003c\/strong\u003e — At 65.4 inches wide, the bar matches the width of the screen, so sound and picture line up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViewers who put the center channel first\u003c\/strong\u003e — MartinLogan doubled the center channel’s woofers compared with the Soundbar 65, and the center carries most movie dialogue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome theater owners who already have an AV receiver\u003c\/strong\u003e — You keep your own decoding, room correction, and amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean wall-mounted installs\u003c\/strong\u003e — A 2.37-inch depth, pre-wire connectors, and hidden cable channels keep the look tidy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot ideal if you want separate left and right speakers flanking the screen\u003c\/strong\u003e — One bar locks in the spacing.

Seat them in the bar’s removable Phoenix-style connector, matching the printed positive and negative markings. Then hang the bar on its included wall bracket, or on the TV using the optional mount kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eIn the receiver’s speaker setup, choose Small for the front three channels and turn on the subwoofer. The bar’s rated response begins at 100 Hz, so start the crossover there or one step above. MartinLogan advises against pairing Discrete Cinema LCR and soundbar models across the front three.
