The Martin Logan Script, launched in 1998 and discontinued at a price of is a versatile hybrid electrostatic speaker designed for flexible use as a stereo main, rear surround, or multimedia speaker. It features a 23-inch Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) electrostatic transducer that covers frequencies above 500 Hz without crossover networks, providing seamless and clear electrostatic sound reproduction. The low frequencies are handled by a 6.5-inch mineral-filled polycone woofer with a high damping rubber surround in a non-resonant chamber format. The speaker is designed with a minimal straight path crossover and air core coils for purity of signal. It has a 30-degree horizontal dispersion and a 23-inch vertical line source, delivering a natural and immersive sound field. The cabinet is constructed from high-quality composite materials with a custom matte finish, available in white or matte black. The Script weighs 27 lbs and measures 43" × 10" × 9". It is compatible with amplifiers rated from 20 to 300 watts per channel and has an impedance of 6 ohms (3 ohms at 20 kHz). Inputs are via custom 5-way binding posts. The Script is praised for its immediacy, clarity, and ability to add high-resolution electrostatic sound to any room or application.
