Introduction - MartinLogan The Logos User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations, you have invested in the world's first
electrostatic hybrid home theatre speaker!
The advantages of Martin-Logan hybrid technology will
present themselves to you from moment the movie
begins. The box effect (a phenomenon similar to cupping
your hands around your mouth when speaking) produced
by dynamic midrange drivers is absent and the natural
openness of the human voice comes through. Never
before in home theatre has the midrange been so clear.
Sounds float around the screen clearly defining the area
from where they were created, not the area of the
speaker that created them. This superior performance is
made possible through the use of our proprietary curved
electrostatic transducer. This is the same design technol-
ogy that is used in the state-of-the-art Martin-Logan
Loudspeaker Systems.
All materials in your new Logos speaker are of the
highest quality to provide years of enduring enjoyment
and deepening respect. The cabinetry is constructed from
a special high-density hardwood powderboard for
structural integrity and is finished with a durable and
attractive matte surface finish.
Through rigorous testing, the curvilinear electrostatic
panel has proven itself to be one of the most durable and
Logos User's Manual
reliable transducers available today. Fabricated from a
specially tooled, high-grade steel, the panel is then
coated with a special high dielectric compound that is
applied via a proprietary electrostatic deposition process.
This panel assembly houses a membrane 0.0005 of an
inch thick! Ruggedly constructed and insulated, as much
as 200 watts of continuous power has driven the Logos
energized diaphragm into massive excursions with no
deleterious effects.
Please read and follow these instructions as you initially
install the Logos into your system. These instructions are
important and will prevent you from experiencing any
delay, frustration, or system damage which might occur in
a trial-and-error procedure.
The other sections of your User's Manual
detail the operation of your Logos speaker and the
philosophy applied to its design. A clear understanding of
your speaker will insure that you obtain maximum
performance and pleasure from this most exacting
transducer.
Happy Listening!
