Curve Your Perspective
----------------------
After refining the perfecting the acoustic details our designers
and engineers focused on giving the Motion Series an elegant yet
understated styling that would complement flat panel TVs and
other high-end components found in today's home theaters. To
achieve this we gave Motion compact bookshelf and center channel
speakers a flawless high-gloss, piano black finish in a slender

Not only do the curves on the Motion Series look great, they
also serve a purpose—allowing Motion compact bookshelves to
at two different angles with the included wall bracket. This
means you can point sound directly toward the desired listening
area for high or low wall ing applications.

Motion 2 speakers don't have to be ed. In fact, they look
and sound great on speaker stands, or simply sitting next to your
TV on a shelf.
Folded Motion tweeter design drastically minimizes distortion and
provides a lightning fast response time.

Engineering, Without Compromises
--------------------------------
What makes the Motion Series sound so amazing? MartinLogan's
dedicated in-house engineering and design 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. Our 'no
compromise' philosophy gives Motion Series a unique sound you
won't find anywhere else.
Voice Matched Sound
-------------------
Our engineers are picky when it comes to how speakers should
sound so when setting out to voice the Motion Series they had
their s fixed on some of the best sounding speakers in the
world, which happen to be MartinLogan's ultra-high-end
electrostatic loudspeakers. And what they produced is amazing
alchemy that blends beautifully with the speed, nuance, and
openness of MartinLogan electrostats.
Folded Motion™ Tweeter
----------------------
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% less excursion
than the typical 1" dome tweeter, which drastically minimizes
distortion while providing a lightning fast response time. The
increased surface area also provides a wide, yet controlled sound
dispersion to create a realistic and carefully etched sound
stage.
