Description
Motion Foundation C1
Foundation C1 offers incredibly clear dialogue to round out
the front stage of any Motion Foundation surround sound system all in a space
conscious design.
For those building out a surround sound system, the center
channel is one of the most important pieces. The majority of dialogue in a
movie comes from this speaker, so it is critically important that dialogue be
clear. As with all Motion Foundation models the Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion
Tweeter S and Folded Motion Waveguide are used to great effect here to blanket
your listening area in crystal clear dialogue. Foundation C1’s aluminum midbass
drivers are also further enhanced by MartinLogan’s signature 2.5 way
“Anti-Lobing” center channel design to provide the performance of larger 3 way
designs in a much more furniture friendly package.

immersion for all your favorite content.
Legendary MartinLogan Sound
MartinLogan speakers are known for their exceptional
articulation, detail and realism, regardless of the listening environment. By
using advanced thin-film technologies and Controlled Dispersion, MartinLogan
delivers a unique and unparalleled listening experience that is not commonly
found in other speakers.
Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S
The Gen2 FMT S offers effortless performance, unmatched by
conventional technologies. By folding thin film material, MartinLogan is able
to pack more surface area into a small space. Large surface area, light
weight and low excursion means an incredibly fast and responsive tweeter
capable of reproducing the most nuanced content with stunning detail and
clarity.
Folded Motion® Waveguide
Enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the tweeter,
blanketing the listening area with incredible detail and precision. Avoids
performance robbing room reflections and provides a more consistent sound
across a wider seating area.
Aluminum Mid-Bass Drivers
Using trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s own Motion
XT and Motion Series, the C1 uses the exceptional properties of Aluminum to
maximize clarity, detail, and output from the dual mid-bass drivers.
Anti-Lobing Center Channel Design
Like its more premium siblings, the C100 and C10, the C1
also utilizes a 2.5-Way crossover design to eliminate lobing and preserve the
tonality of the source material. This results in a significant reduction of
negative effects on sound reproduction, leading to a more precise and accurate
listening experience.
Modern Design Featuring Timeless Finishes
Motion® Foundation® models are available in 3 timeless
finishes to compliment any decor: Walnut with Bronze trim, Black with Gunmetal
trim, or Satin White with Silver trim.
