Description

For those building out a surround sound system, the centre channel is one of the most important pieces. The majority of dialogue in a movie comes from this speaker, so it is critically important that dialogue be clear. As with all Motion Foundation models the Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S and Folded Motion Waveguide are used to great effect here to blanket your listening area in crystal clear dialogue. Foundation C1’s aluminium midbass drivers are also further enhanced by MartinLogan’s signature 2.5 way “Anti-Lobing” centre channel design to provide the performance of larger 3 way designs in a much more furniture friendly package.

Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S
The Gen2 FMT S offers effortless performance, unmatched by conventional technologies. By folding thin film material, MartinLogan is able to pack more surface area into a small space.

Folded Motion® Waveguide
Enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the tweeter, blanketing the listening area with incredible detail and precision. Avoids performance robbing room reflections and provides a more consistent sound across a wider seating area.

Aluminium Mid-Bass Drivers
Using trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s own Motion XT and Motion Series, the C1 uses the exceptional properties of Aluminium to maximize clarity, detail, and output from the dual mid-bass drivers.
