SETTING SUBWOOFER CONTROLS (continued)

1.Turn the Low Pass Filter (Hz) Control to the middle of the “Normal” range.

2.Slowly rotate the Level Control until you match the subwoofer output level with the level of your speakers. Bass should be clearly audible but not intrusive.

3.If the sound is too “thin” set the Low Pass Filter Control higher than the “Normal” range; if the sound becomes “boomy” set the Low Pass Filter Control lower than the normal range.

4.If the bass sounds weak or “dislocated” you may have a phase alignment problem. Your MLT-1 subwoofer has a Phase Switch which is normally set to the 0° position. Switch it to the 180° position—this will switch the phase of the subwoofer by 180° relative to your speakers. Listen to determine if you hear more bass. If you don’t hear more bass, return the Phase Switch to its original position and then experiment with subwoofer placement to find an area of the room where there is less bass cancellation.

MLT-1 specifications

The MartinLogan MLT-1 is a high-performance compact speaker system that stands out for its unique blend of innovative technology, superior sound quality, and sophisticated design. Positioned perfectly for both home theater setups and music listening, the MLT-1 delivers an immersive audio experience that captivates audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the standout features of the MLT-1 is its high-resolution Folded Motion tweeter. This design allows it to produce a wide frequency response while minimizing distortion, creating crisp and clear high frequencies. The tweeter’s folded diaphragm technology enables greater speed and efficiency in sound reproduction, ensuring that even the most subtle nuances in the audio signal are preserved. This is particularly beneficial for high-frequency sounds such as vocals and string instruments, allowing them to shine in their full glory.

Complementing the tweeter is the 5.25-inch aluminum cone woofer, which is meticulously crafted to deliver deep, rich bass. The woofer is designed to handle a wide range of low frequencies, resulting in powerful sound without sacrificing clarity. The MLT-1's cabinet design plays an essential role in enhancing bass response, as it features a rear-firing bass port that allows for enhanced low-end performance, making it equally adept for movie soundtracks and music.

Another characteristic that sets the MLT-1 apart is its compact size. This makes it ideal for a variety of placements, whether in your living room, home office, or dedicated listening space. It can easily blend into any décor without sacrificing acoustic performance. The speaker's aesthetic appeal is further elevated by its premium finishes, which provide a sophisticated touch to any room.

The MLT-1 can be easily paired with various amplification systems, thanks to its flexible impedance and sensitivity rating. This versatility makes it suitable for both low-powered tube amplifiers and higher-powered solid-state amps, allowing users to fully tailor their audio environment based on personal preferences.

Overall, the MartinLogan MLT-1 encapsulates a high-fidelity audio experience in a compact package, making it a remarkable choice for anyone looking to elevate their sound system without occupying substantial space. With its blend of foldable motion tweeter technology, a well-engineered woofer, and a sleek design, the MLT-1 stands out as an exemplary model worthy of consideration for any discerning music lover or film enthusiast.
