The MartinLogan Motion 30 center channel speaker delivers clear, accurate movie dialogue and robust sound effects for a cinema-like home theater experience. It features a Folded Motion tweeter with a pleated diaphragm that provides quick response and low distortion, creating detailed and dynamic sound with a focused soundstage. The speaker includes two 5.5-inch aluminum cone woofers with cast polymer baskets and a non-resonant asymmetrical chamber design to produce fast, clean midrange and lower-mid frequencies. A rear-firing bass port extends bass performance while keeping it tight and tuneful. The cabinet is constructed from 18mm MDF with a 31mm thick front baffle to reduce vibrations, finished in gloss black or other finishes. It has 5-way tool-less binding posts for secure connectivity and is compatible with 4, 6, or 8 ohm amplifiers. The Motion 30 is voice-matched to MartinLogan ESL speakers and designed to deliver a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity.
