PRESS RELEASE Contact: Devin Zell (dzell@martinlogan.com) Introducing Classic ESL 9 MartinLogan Adds Fully Passive — Floorstanding Electrostatic Loudspeaker to New Masterpiece Series and advanced MartinLogan’s newest model features hybrid electrostatic transducers low-frequency technologies. Dallas, Texas CEDIA 2016 September 15, 2016 SR-2 – – – – MartinLogan, the world’s leader in electrostatic and Folded Motion® loudspeaker technology, proudly announces a new fully passive floorstanding loudspeaker in its new Masterpiece Series, Classic ESL 9. Retailing for $6,495/pair (US), the Classic ESL 9 features a Curvilinear Line Source (CLS™) electrostatic transducer with advanced microperf stator technology, XStat™ vacuum-bonded redesigned ultra-rigid AirFrame™ Blade construction, and dual 8-inch low-distortion aluminum cone woofers. A New Classic masterwork is our award-winning Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) controlled MartinLogan’s dispersion XStat electrostatic (ESL) transducer and robust woofer systems—a revolutionary melding of design and engineering. CLS technology is an essential element of every electrostatic loudspeaker MartinLogan has ever designed. Through our proprietary manufacturing methods, we have built-in the panel’s gentle horizontal curvature. This unique design enhances the high frequency detail and dispersion produced by the large radiating surface, without compromising overall sound quality. Electrostatic panels, which are true dipole speakers, produce a nearly-ideal controlled dispersion radiation pattern. They send very little sound to the sides, thereby minimizing reflections, whose short arrival times tend to interfere with the perception of the direct sound. Their strong rear radiation, however, produces a generous amount of natural,
