Congratulations! You have invested in one of the
world's premier subwoofers.
The MartinLogan CW10 represents the extension of
an intensive, dedicated team research program direct-
ed toward establishing a world class line of reference
subwoofers using leading-edge technology, without com-
promising durability, reliability, craftsmanship or aesthetics.
The CW10 subwoofer uses a 10-inch high-excursion driv-
er to achieve deep, tight, well-defined bass. A proprietary
amplifier is used to drive the output stage with precision
and extremely high efficiency. Low-pass filtering and
phase control have been designed to make integrating the
CW10 subwoofer with MartinLogan and non-MartinLo-
gan products both seamless and simple.
The materials in your new CW10 subwoofer are of the
highest quality and will provide years of enduring enjoy-
ment and deepening respect. The cabinet is constructed
from the finest composite material for acoustical integrity
and is finished with an attractive custom coating.

ing subwoofer.
