DualForce™ ESL Bass Technology

CLX’s unique DualForce™ ESL double diaphragm, triple stator dipole low-frequency transducer delivers deep, dynamic bass with twice as much force as a standard ESL.

Dipole Phase Stabilization

CLX’s low-frequency dipole stabilization technology reduces low frequency rear wave cancellation inherent to dipole transducers. This is accomplished by increasing the air path length behind the CLX and delaying the out-of- phase back wave. The resulting decrease in low-frequency front-wave cancellation increases overall output while minimizing total harmonic distortion at low frequencies.

Precision Vojtko™ Filtering

Within the CLX’s interface module, a regulated power sup- ply creates stable bias voltages even under the most extreme conditions. Dual transformer design utilizes a toroidal audio transformer for detailed mid- and high-frequen- cies, and a high-quality, high-voltage E.I. transformer for

dynamic, linear bass. All high-voltage leads are made of the purest copper and coated with silicone. Only superlative materials, including thick film on alumina substrate resis- tors and polypropylene capacitors, are used throughout.

Environmentally Conscious Design

In addition to total dedication for unmatched per- formance, environmentally conscious considerations influenced the design and engineering of the CLX. This includes an advanced energy management design in its electrical circuitry and the use of rapidly renewable or highly recyclable structural materials like EcoSound™.

EcoSound is the proprietary advent of a Martin Logan alli- ance with Klip BioTechnologies, LLC, the leading innovator and manufacturer of certified eco-conscious materials. EcoSound is composed of an FSC certified 50/50 blend of plantation grown, rapidly renewable bamboo fiber and post consumer recycled paper. These materials are bound by a revolutionary co-polymer resin system that is 100% water based and VOC free. CLX is the obvious first applica- tion for this remarkable new audiophile grade material and yet another giant step forward in Martin Logan’s continu- ing commitment to produce irresistible high value products from environmentally intelligent materials.
