INTRODUCTION AND ASSEMBLY
Introduction
Congratulations! You have invested in one of the world’s premier loudspeaker systems.
The MartinLogan Odyssey represents the culmination of an intensive, dedicated group research program directed toward establishing a world class reference monitor utilizing
The new Odyssey incorporates many of the technological advances developed by MartinLogan design and research for the revolutionary Statement evolution2 and Prodigy systems. The result is the highest resolution system in its class, available in an exquisite cabinet that is surprisingly compact and an outstanding performer with any music source. The Odyssey includes advances such as a new generation proprietary CLS (curvilinear line source) electrostatic drive transducer and a bass control system that reduces bass/room interaction and resonances. A distinct benefit of these advances is reference level performance in a broader range of listening room arrangements. The unique, compact cabinet combines a see through look with elegant form, texture and craftsmanship, which will complement any décor.
The materials in your new Odyssey speakers are of the high- est quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment and deepening respect. All trim pieces are constructed from selected hardwoods. They are then grain and color matched and finally hand finished. The cabinetry is con- structed from the highest quality composite material for acoustical integrity and is finished with our attractive cus- tom matte finish.
Through rigorous testing, the patented curvilinear electrostatic panel has proven itself to be one of the most durable and reliable transducers available today. Fabricated from a custom tool punched
The other sections of your User’s Manual will explain in detail the operation of your Odyssey speakers and the philosophy applied to their design. A clear understanding of your speakers will insure that you obtain maximum performance and
pleasure from this most exacting transducer. It has been designed and constructed to give you years of
Assembling the Odyssey
