Inspired by the clarity and detail of our ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, the Motion LX16 extends the award-winning Motion® Series sound to a more traditional bookshelf package, with luxurious high-gloss real-wood finishes.

The High-Performance Motion LX16 bookshelf features an advanced resolution Folded Motion™ tweeter, a low-distortion 5.25-inch high-excursion black-aluminum woofer, and low-turbulence rear-firing bass port for extended bass performance, all in a traditional bookshelf package.

MartinLogan’s signature perforated steel grille appears to float in front of the solidly constructed 3/4-inch thick MDF cabinets on the Motion LX16. Hidden discretely underneath the grille, the drivers are held securely in place by a solid, black-anodized brushed aluminum baffle. Folded Motion tweeters and woofers are seamlessly blended with an advanced topology crossover network featuring polypropylene and low-DF electrolytic capacitors, custom wound inductors, and thermal and current protection. The Motion LX Series also features recessed custom 5-way binding posts for connection versatility.

LX16 specifications

The MartinLogan LX16 is an impressive compact speaker designed to deliver high-fidelity sound with a perfect combination of innovative technology and refined aesthetics. Positioned as part of MartinLogan's Motion series, the LX16 is an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking a premium listening experience in smaller spaces.

One of the standout features of the LX16 is its advanced Folded Motion driver technology. Unlike traditional dome tweeters, the LX16 utilizes a thin, pleated diaphragm that significantly increases the surface area for sound production. This design allows for greater efficiency and a wider frequency response, resulting in crystal-clear highs and a detailed midrange. The Folded Motion technology not only enhances transient response but also minimizes distortion, providing an immersive soundstage that captivates listeners.

The midrange is handled by a 5.5-inch woofer, crafted from a composite material that balances rigidity and lightweight construction. This design ensures that the speaker reproduces a broad range of frequencies with accuracy and power. It is also accompanied by dual bass ports, which augment low-frequency output, making the LX16 capable of delivering rich bass without overwhelming the listening environment.

The LX16's cabinet is engineered to minimize resonance while ensuring that acoustic performance is paramount. MartinLogan's careful attention to detail includes internal bracing and premium finish materials, which contribute to the speaker's rigid structure and sleek appearance. The aesthetic design comes in a range of contemporary finishes, making it an appealing addition to any room.

Connections on the LX16 are user-friendly, featuring bi-wire and bi-amp capability that allows audiophiles to customize their setup according to their preferences. The speaker can be easily integrated into various audio systems, whether for two-channel listening or home theater applications.

Overall, the MartinLogan LX16 combines avant-garde technology and stunning design, making it a remarkable choice for those who prioritize sound quality and visual appeal. Whether you're enjoying music, movies, or gaming, the LX16's capabilities promise to elevate the auditory experience, making it a worthy investment for both casual listeners and serious audiophiles alike. With its compact design and sophisticated performance, the LX16 is truly a standout speaker in its class.
