MartinLogan Exclusives 13

CLS™ (Curvilinear Line Source)

Since the beginning of audio, achieving smooth dispersion

has been a problem for all designers. Large panel transduc-

ers present unique challenge because the larger the panel,

the more directional the dispersion pattern becomes.

Wide range electrostats have long been one of the most

problematic transducers because they attain their full

range capabilities via a large surface area. It looked as if

they were in direct conflict to smooth dispersion and

almost every attempt to correct this resulted in either poor

dispersion or a serious compromise in sound quality.

After extensive research, MartinLogan engineers discov-

ered an elegantly simple solution to achieve a smooth

pattern of dispersion without degrading sound quality.

By curving the horizontal plane of the electrostatic trans-

ducer, a controlled horizontal dispersion pattern could be

achieved, yet the purity of the almost massless electrostat-

ic diaphragm remained uncompromised. After creating

this technology, MartinLogan developed the production

capability to bring it out of the laboratory and into the

market place. You will find this proprietary MartinLogan

technology used in all of our electrostatic products. It is

one of the many reasons behind our reputation for high

quality sound with practical usability. This is also why

you see the unique “see through” cylindrical shape of

MartinLogan products.

Generation 2 Diaphragm

Matinee’s diaphragm employs an extremely sophisticated

conductive coating applied to the polymer surface at an

atomic level using a plasma bonding process. A proprie-

tary compound is driven into the surface of the polymer

film in an oxygen free argon chamber. This process allows

extremely uniform surface resistivity characteristics, an

optically transparent surface, and a nearly massless dia-

phragm. This uniform surface resistivity controls the

electrostatic charge on the diaphragm surface and regulates

its migration. As a result, no discharging or “arcing” can

occur.

MicroPerf Stator

Sleek. Compact. MicroPerf stator technology reveals more

open playable area in each panel, offering increased

performance from even more compact stat panels. It is

significant to note that electrostatic transducer in the radi-

cal new Matinee loudspeaker supports the bandwidth and

dynamics associated with traditional electrostatic panels

nearly twice its size.
