12, 22 specifications

MartinLogan is renowned for its pioneering work in the audio industry, particularly in producing high-quality electrostatic loudspeakers. Among its acclaimed product lineup, the MartinLogan 12 and 22 models stand out for their exceptional performance and innovative technology.

The MartinLogan 12 is a premium electrostatic speaker that combines advanced engineering with aesthetic design. One of its standout features is the Speakers' electrostatic transducer, which ensures flawless sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. The transducer is powered by a highly efficient Direct Drive technology that delivers clear and detailed audio, allowing listeners to experience music and movies as if they are in the recording studio or cinema. Additionally, the MartinLogan 12 includes a dynamic woofer that enhances low-frequency performance, providing a well-rounded audio profile.

The MartinLogan 22, on the other hand, is a more compact yet powerful option. It retains the electrostatic technology that MartinLogan is famous for while offering a slightly different design to suit smaller spaces. The 22 model features a refined hybrid design, combining a stunning electrostatic panel with a robust woofer that produces deep bass and rich mids. This makes it more versatile in various room sizes and configurations.

Both models benefit from MartinLogan’s advanced engineering, including PrecisionWave technology, which aims to improve sound dispersion and increase the perceived soundstage. This technology creates a more immersive listening experience, allowing sound to envelop the room rather than emanate from a specific point.

Furthermore, the build quality of MartinLogan's speakers is exemplary, featuring premium materials and craftsmanship. The cabinets are designed to minimize resonance, ensuring pure sound reproduction free from distortion.

In summary, the MartinLogan 12 and 22 loudspeakers reflect a commitment to excellence in audio engineering. With their advanced electrostatic technology, powerful woofers, and stunning aesthetics, these models are ideal for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike, promising an unparalleled listening experience that showcases the true essence of music and film.
