Neolith

About the Neolith

The MartinLogan Neolith is a high-end, three-way electrostatic/dynamic hybrid loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking ultimate sound accuracy and realism. It features MartinLogan's largest electrostatic panel to date, measuring 48" x 22" (1,056 in²), which is 35% larger than the previous Statement E2 model. This proprietary curvilinear electrostatic transducer delivers an ultra-realistic soundstage and covers nearly the entire midrange and high-frequency spectrum. The bass section includes a 15" rear-firing ported woofer with an extended throw assembly and a 12" front-firing sealed mid-bass woofer with a carbon fiber sandwich cone, both designed to provide deep, clean bass down to 23 Hz (-3 dB). The cabinet is made from a dense phenolic resin polymer to minimize vibrations and provide an ideal baffle for the electrostatic panel and woofers. The crossover network uses advanced Vojtko™ filter topology with high-quality components such as polypropylene capacitors, air-core inductors, and toroidal transformers to handle high amplifier power and ensure precise crossover slopes. The Neolith supports single-wire or bi-amp connections via WBT-0705Ag nextgen™ 5-way bi-wire binding posts with fine silver conductors. It includes audio controls for bass attenuation (0 dB, -4 dB, -8 dB) and distance compensation (3 m, 4 m, 5 m+). The speaker requires AC power (1 W standby, 15 W max) to energize the electrostatic panel and automatically powers on/off with signal detection. Dimensions are 74.8" × 30.3" × 34.2" (189.9 cm × 76.9 cm × 87 cm), and it weighs 385 lbs (175 kg). Recommended amplifier power ranges from 50 to 1300 watts per channel into 4 ohms, with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a minimum of 0.43 ohms at 20 kHz. Sensitivity is 90 dB/2.83 V/m. The frequency response spans 23 Hz to 22 kHz ±3 dB, with crossover frequencies at 60 Hz and variable 250–400 Hz for the panel to woofer transition. The Neolith is available in multiple finishes and represents over 30 years of MartinLogan engineering innovation and dedication to sound truth.
