Installation

WARNING! Installation other than that described in the body of this document requires specific documentation from MartinLogan.

BREAK IN

Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at 90 dB (moderate listening levels) before any critical listening.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level, and stable platform, the speaker can be placed directly on top. When using the speaker in this configuration, affix the pads to the bottom of the speaker at the rear contact points. Note: This

speaker is not magnetically shielded and therefore should not be placed directly beside or atop a CRT television.

REMOVING THE LOGO BADGE

To remove the logo badge unbend the tab on the back side of the logo then gently pull it away from the speaker grill (fig. 8).

C2 specifications

The MartinLogan C2 is a remarkable addition to the world of high-end loudspeakers, renowned for its innovative design and superior performance. As part of MartinLogan's acclaimed line of electrostatic speakers, the C2 combines advanced technology with aesthetics, offering an extraordinary audio experience that truly stands out in any listening environment.

One of the main features of the C2 is its unique electrostatic design. Unlike traditional dynamic speakers that use cones and domes to produce sound, the C2 employs a thin, electrified diaphragm that is suspended between two stator panels. This design allows for a much faster response time and a more precise reproduction of sound, which translates to a cleaner and more detailed audio presentation. The result is music that feels immersive and lifelike, whether you are listening to classical, jazz, or modern rock.

Another significant characteristic is the integration of a high-performance, custom-designed bass driver. The C2 features dual 8-inch woofers which work in tandem with the electrostatic panel to deliver a full-range sound experience. This driver technology ensures that low frequencies are rendered with remarkable clarity and power, allowing users to experience deep bass without compromising the overall sound quality.

The C2 also incorporates sophisticated engineering technologies such as the CLS (Curvilinear Line Source) transducer. This groundbreaking transducer design ensures a wide and even soundstage, allowing listeners to enjoy consistent audio quality across a broad sweet spot. The CLS transducer provides unparalleled dispersion characteristics, which means that every seat in the room becomes a great listening position.

Additionally, the C2's cabinet is constructed using high-quality materials, providing not only visual appeal but also structural integrity. The enclosure is designed to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance, which further enhances the overall acoustic performance. The aesthetic design embodies modern elegance, making it a beautiful statement piece in any home theater or music setup.

Overall, the MartinLogan C2 is a blend of cutting-edge technology and artistic design that delivers exceptional performance. With its electrostatic panel, advanced bass driver integration, and superior build quality, the C2 redefines what is possible in loudspeaker technology. It is an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking to elevate their listening experience to new heights. Whether you’re enjoying your favorite tracks or immersing yourself in cinematic soundscapes, the C2 ensures that every note is delivered with remarkable fidelity and emotional impact.
