MartinLogan Masterpiece Series

A Masterpiece is defined in the dictionary as:

The new Masterpiece series by MartinLogan is easily defined by all of these definition types. The series from top to bottom is the very best in class the engineers at MartinLogan have ever produced at these remarkable price points.  

$24,995 Renaissance ESL15A

Renaissance ESL 15A represents a major evolution in electrostatic design. The electrostatic panel is a full 15-inch (CLS) XStat electrostatic transducer. The XStat panel is paired with dual 12-inch PoweredForce Forward woofers powered by dual 500-watt Class-D amplifiers. These powerful amplifiers are controlled by a 24-Bit Vojtko DSP Engine. 

The last ingredient of this potent duo is ARC (Anthem Room Correction). When these speakers are positioned in the room. Anthem Room Correction is run and multiple measurements allow the ARC program running on a PC to precisely create a room correction curve that is loaded into the Renaissance ESL 15A's Voytko DSP engine. The result is near perfect bass response in the listening seat - audio nirvana!

$14,995 Expression ESL 13A

Expression ESL 13A represents a major evolution of the MartinLogan classic electrostatic loudspeaker. All of the familiar elements are here, along with some revolutionary refinements. At the heart of this exceptional loudspeaker you'll find a 13-inch Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) XStat vacuum-bonded electrostatic transducer with advanced MicroPerf stator technology and ultra-rigid AirFrame Blade construction. The powerfully dynamic low-frequency experience is rendered with unflinching accuracy and authority courtesy of dual 10-inch low-distortion aluminum cone woofers. Each woofer is independently powered by a 300-watt Class-D amplifier, and controlled by a 24-Bit Vojtko DSP Engine featuring Anthem Room Correction (ARC) technology.

$9,995 Impression ESL 11A

Impressionist masters inspired potent feelings by removing the barrier between art and emotion. The Impression ESL 11A achieves this same effect, with an unprecedented level of audio transparency and realism revealing the pure emotional impact of music. The Impression ESL 11A delivers impactful and accurate bass performance with its dual 8-inch woofer system powered by dual 275-watt Class-D amplifiers and shaped to the room by Anthem Room Correction technology. The groundbreaking integration of this woofer system with MartinLogan's signature XStat CLS transducer delivers a dynamic, transparent audio performance-an experience of pure audio pleasure with nothing coming between your music and ears.

There are many other innovations to include in the new Masterpiece loudspeakers. These include: 

• An Innovative AirFrame Blade construction, precision manufactured from an aerospace-grade extruded aluminum alloy. This material, and this exclusive manufacturing process, makes the XStat panels extremely rigid. 
• Powerful 5-Way audiophile WBT Binding Posts. Their pure copper connection plate is highly conductive and free from "eddy current" effects. These posts are insulated for shock protection, and fully damped against vibrations. They give you plenty of room for large-gauge professional speaker connections for your client's favorite cables.
• Clever new tray design electronic circuitry housing - rigid metal trays are located at the bottom of each Masterpiece loudspeaker housing the Power Supply for the XStat, the Twin high powered woofer amplifiers, and the DSP engine and ARC circuitry for each loudspeaker. If service would ever be required, the tray allows rapid replacement of components and isolation from the vibration of the typical placement inside a woofer cabinet. 

These three loudspeakers create the powerful Masterpiece Series. Never before has so much audio capability been assembled into 3 remarkable products. Give a listen to the amazing new Renaissance ESL 15A, Expression ESL 13A, and Impression ESL 11A loudspeakers. You have never heard anything like them for their price points!

7.2.4 ATMOS Rocks!

Quick Demo Sells ATMOS

The very best way to sell an ATMOS system is to demonstrate it in a full blown theater display powered with an Anthem MRX1120. With the Anthem MRX1120, you can easily set up a demo that goes from accurate 2.2 to 5.2 to 7.2 and then 7.2.4 or maybe you would like a fallback and set it up for 2.2, 7.2, 7.2.4 and 5.2.2. You could then set a fallback to 7 channels of ATMOS power and use the MRX720. Once your client hears what basic 5.2 or 7.2 sounds like, take them to ATMOS. Then - take it away and fall back to 5.2 or 7.2. They will immediately request that you turn it back to ATMOS...They are already hooked. 

What makes ATMOS so exciting? 

In the past, soundscape engineers were limited to channels and panning between channels. So if a jet needed to fly overhead from stage left to right stage rear, they simply panned the sound between the left front speaker channel and the right rear channel. With ATMOS processing, an engineer can have the jet start low and on the left, then fill the space dramatically up and overhead as the jets engines grow louder and move above the listener, and then descend to the right rear of the room and disappear on the horizon. Wow - what a difference thanks to being able to use the height channels and phase relationships with the base layer of 5.2/7.2 and deliver 7.2.4 with the ability to place soundscapes precisely where they would be in nature. 

So - what does it take to deliver 7.2.4?

First it takes 11 channels of amplification connected to a great Dolby ATMOS processor. The Anthem MRX1120 is an ideal solution. It provides precise power and performance to deliver the goods. In addition to the traditional 7.2 channels, 4 more channels are placed using speakers above the listener. Two in a front position and 2 behind the listener. These channel speakers can be physically placed as in-ceiling speakers or beamed to the position using speaker caps such as the MartinLogan AFX speaker. As the listener enjoys the audio from Dolby ATMOS - the processor in the Anthem MRX1120 is computing exact placement from the original soundtrack encoding of up to 32.1 channels of ATMOS sound. It is precisely scaled to 7.2.4 and in the more modest size of a home theater, delivers the perfect placement of sound in the room. Wow! 

The MRX1120 has the exact feature set needed to deliver the full ATMOS experience including the video!
