300 specifications

The MartinLogan 300 is a high-performance electrostatic speaker that represents a remarkable fusion of innovative technology and sonic excellence. Designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike, the 300 combines MartinLogan's signature electrostatic driver technology with advanced materials and engineering to create an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the MartinLogan 300 is its electrostatic driver system. This technology utilizes a lightweight, electrically charged diaphragm suspended between two stators. When an audio signal is applied, the diaphragm moves rapidly, producing sound with astonishing clarity and precision. The result is a speaker that reproduces high frequencies with minimal distortion, allowing listeners to experience music as the artist intended.

In addition to its electrostatic technology, the MartinLogan 300 includes a sophisticated bass port design. This integration of a 10-inch, high excursion aluminum cone woofer works seamlessly with the electrostatic panel to deliver a full-range sound experience. The woofer boasts a powerful neodymium magnet structure, ensuring responsive and dynamic bass reproduction that complements the crystal-clear highs of the electrostatic driver.

The build quality of the MartinLogan 300 is equally impressive. The cabinet is constructed from high-density MDF, which minimizes resonance and cabinet coloration. The sleek design features an elegant wood veneer finish that adds a touch of sophistication to any listening space. Additionally, the removable grille can be attached or detached easily, giving users the option to showcase the stunning technology within while maintaining a streamlined appearance.

Another notable characteristic is the speaker's wide dispersion pattern. Thanks to its unique electrostatic design, the MartinLogan 300 creates a broad soundstage that immerses listeners in a lifelike sound experience. Whether placed in a small room or a large auditorium, these speakers can fill the space with engaging and detailed sound.

In summary, the MartinLogan 300 delivers outstanding performance through its advanced electrostatic technology, premium woofer, high-quality construction, and wide dispersion characteristics. This speaker is not just an audio device; it's a gateway to an unparalleled musical experience that brings every nuance of sound to life, making it a worthy investment for those serious about their audio systems. With its blend of stylish design and exceptional performance, the MartinLogan 300 stands out as a leading choice for discerning listeners seeking the ultimate in sound reproduction.
