Martin Logan CI speaker range make UK debut via PMC

Martin Logan Custom Installation products are coming to the UK installer market, courtesy of PMC Distribution UK. Martin Logan, which has an enviable reputation when it comes to high-end Hi-Fi loudspeakers, has developed a five-strong range of architectural products.

Masterpiece CI is its flagship discreet in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeaker design. The Statement 40XW features 16 x Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters, 16 19mm carbon fibre midrange drivers and eight 165mm carbon fibre woofers, all housed in a 2.1m tall enclosure that fits between wall studs for a virtually invisible installation.

The Masterpiece series also features three smaller in-wall products and the Sistine 4XC in-ceiling speaker with its 203mm carbon fibre woofer, twin carbon midrange drivers and a Folded Motion tweeter.

The stablemate ElectroMotion series comprises two in-ceiling models, ElectroMotion R and ElectroMotion IC which boast an 203mm and 165mm aluminium woofer respectively, coupled to a FoldedMotion tweeter. They are complemented by the in-wall variant, the ElectroMotion IW, with the same woofer and tweeter units.

The Helos Series is distinguished by aluminium cone woofers. These in-ceiling speakers, the Helos 12 and Helos 22 both use a 165mm woofer. The Helos 12 is a high-performance single driver for use in multiple unit configurations in medium and small rooms, such as an in-ceiling 5.1 or 7.1 system. The Helos 22 is a dual voice coil design and is coupled to twin 25mm soft dome tweeters for use as a single-point stereo speaker. Typical uses might be in en-suite bathrooms, suggests the distributor.

For installations where budget constraints apply, the nine-strong Installer Series comprises two in-wall speakers, the IW5-LCR and IW6 and seven in-ceiling models, including the IC6-HT in-ceiling home theatre speaker with 30-degree angled woofer and tweeter assembly. The range also features two ‘all-weather’ models for use in high humidity areas.

The loudspeaker models are all supported by the Martin Logan MDA Series, audio matrix distribution amplifiers. The MDA16 includes 16 channels for use in up to eight zones, eight analogue and four digital audio inputs. The smaller MDA8 powers up to four zones and eight channels.

Both products offer web-based set up, automation drivers for the most popular control solutions, dedicated subwoofer outputs and advanced Anthem Room Correction.
