Product Description
Inspired by MartinLogan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, the Motion Series was created to provide stunning sound for your ultimate-performance home theater or stereo. MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineers carefully crafted the Motion Series to create an extremely affordable and compact product line that seamlessly blends our exquisite Folded Motion transducers with powerful, compact bass technology. The result is a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity. 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. Convenient push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts help guide speaker wire effortlessly into place. The rubber end caps on the terminal are also removable for the use of banana plugs instead of bare wire. So simple, you'll actually enjoy hooking up these speakers.

Stand Out From The Crowd
Our speakers look different for a reason. Anyone can build a box, cram a crossover and a bunch of drivers into it and call it a speaker. But we're not just anyone. We have a reputation for building some of the best speakers in the world. The Motion 12 more than measures up with distinct styling and a smooth, open sound—thanks to MartinLogan's exquisitely unique Folded Motion technologies.
Dipole Midrange for a Deep, Expansive Sound Stage
Motion 12 speakers have a cloth top with a gentle sloping curve that houses a 5.25-inch midrange driver mounted in an open back baffle 'dipole' design—which gives the Motion 12 similar acoustic characteristics to those found in our high-end electrostatic loudspeakers. This uniqe dipole midrange design renders a superbly etched sound stage that is both deep and wide—placing each instrument and vocalist precisely where they belong.
Designed To Be Different
We hate being like everyone else. That's why after perfecting the acoustic details our in-house design and engineering team 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 subtle curves, along with MartinLogan's signature perforated grille to add to their timeless look.

Engineering Genius
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 sights 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.
