Features

2-Way LCR Speaker: The MartinLogan Motion 8 LCR loudspeaker employs a 2-way speaker design and features MartinLogan’s advanced resolution Folded Motion tweeter and two 4″ paper cone woofers. Pairing these three drivers together creates a dynamic full-range sound with an expansive soundstage.

• Folded Motion Tweeter: MartinLogan’s Folded Motion tweeter helps give the Motion 8 LCR loudspeaker its natural, realistic high frequency sound. Lightning fast transient response, combined with a large surface area (8x that of a typical 1″ dome tweeter) creates clear, dynamic, and precise sound. The 1″ x 1.4″ 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 (80°x80°) to create a realistic and carefully etched sound stage.
• Dual Paper Cone Woofers: The Folded Motion tweeter is flanked by two 4″ paper cone woofers with a stamped steel basket housed in a non-resonant asymmetrical chamber. The paper cone woofers use a rigid structured dust cap and butyl rubber surround to reduce cone break-up and distortion. These two 4″ paper cone woofers provide rich, detailed midrange/midbass.
