Speaker Placement

Figure 1 provides a general guideline to help you get the best performance from your new system.

Fronts (Left/Right) - MLT-2 Speakers

For the most accurate timbral balance, place your front speakers so that their high-frequency drivers are approximately ear level (see positioning j and k). Measure the distance from the listening area to your speakers. For optimal imaging, place the speakers approximately 3/4 of that distance from each other. MLT-2 speakers can be placed on a shelf, or wall mounted (Fig. 2 on page 7)

Center Speaker - MLT-2 Center Speaker

Place the center speaker (see position l) above or below your TV, whichever position is closer to ear level. Position it flush with the front of the TV to minimize unwanted sound reflections. It should be about the same distance away from the primary listening area as the front speakers. (Some Audio/Video receivers and processors can electronically adjust for differences in distance.) Your center speaker can be placed on top of a TV, on a shelf, or wall mounted (see page 7 for Wall Mounting).

Surround Speakers - MLT-2 Speakers

The surround speakers should be kept well away from the listening area for optimal surround performance.

Position speakers on each side of the listening area, (see position m and n in diagram).

MLT-2 specifications

The MartinLogan MLT-2 is a compact, high-performance home theater speaker system that blends cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, the MLT-2 stands out with its electrostatic design, which is a hallmark of MartinLogan's commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality.

One of the standout features of the MLT-2 is its use of an electrostatic panel. This technology allows for incredibly detailed sound reproduction, producing a broad frequency response with minimal distortion. The panel is engineered to create a large soundstage, giving users an immersive listening experience that fills the room. In addition to the electrostatic panel, the MLT-2 includes a high-performance 5.25-inch woofer that effectively extends the low-frequency response, ensuring that the system can handle everything from soaring high notes to booming bass.

The MLT-2 speaker system comes equipped with a range of advanced technologies that enhance its performance. One such feature is the advanced crossover network, which ensures seamless integration between the electrostatic panel and the woofer. This results in a coherent sound profile that accurately reproduces the audio in movies, music, and other media. The construction of the cabinet is also critical; the MLT-2 boasts a rigid, well-braced enclosure that minimizes cabinet resonance and maximizes sound clarity.

Another key characteristic of the MLT-2 is its elegant design. Its slim and modern profile allows it to blend seamlessly with various décor styles, making it a perfect choice for any home theater setup. The speaker is available in a variety of finishes, including a high-gloss black and a real-wood veneer, catering to individual tastes and preferences.

With its versatile capabilities, the MartinLogan MLT-2 is an ideal choice for both small and large home theater systems. The efficient design enables easy placement in various environments while still maintaining exceptional audio quality.
