Introduction

Congratulations! You have invested in a new world of music and home cinema!

The MartinLogan Fresco i represents the culmination of an intensive, dedicated group research program directed toward establishing a world class reference monitor utilizing leading-edge technology, without compromising durability, reliability, craftsmanship or aesthetic design.

The advantages of MartinLogan ATF (advanced thin film) technology will present themselves to you from the moment the sound begins. The box effect (a phenomenon similar to cupping your hand around your mouth when speaking) produced by dynamic drivers is absent and the natural openness of the human voice comes through. Sounds clearly define the area from where they were actually created, not the area of the speaker that created them.

The materials in your new Fresco i speaker are of the highest quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment and deepening respect. The cabinetry is constructed from the highest quality HIPP (high-impact polypropylene) to create an acoustically inert, high-density enclosure.

This User’s Manual will explain in detail the operation of your Fresco i speaker and the philosophy applied to its design. A clear understanding of your speakers will ensure that you obtain maximum performance and pleasure from this most exacting transducer. It has been designed and constructed to provide years of trouble-free listening enjoyment.
