DualForce™ ESL Bass Technology

CLX’s unique DualForce™ ESL double diaphragm, triple

stator dipole low-frequency transducer delivers deep,

dynamic bass with twice as much force as a standard ESL.

Dipole Phase Stabilization

CLX’s low-frequency dipole stabilization technology

reduces low frequency rear wave cancellation inherent to

dipole transducers. This is accomplished by increasing the

air path length behind the CLX and delaying the out-of-

phase back wave. The resulting decrease in low-frequency

front-wave cancellation increases overall output while

minimizing total harmonic distortion at low frequencies.

Precision Vojtko™ Filtering

Within the CLX’s interface module, a regulated power sup-

ply creates stable bias voltages even under the most extreme

conditions. Dual transformer design utilizes a toroidal

audio transformer for detailed mid- and high-frequen-

cies, and a high-quality, high-voltage E.I. transformer for

dynamic, linear bass. All high-voltage leads are made of the

purest copper and coated with silicone. Only superlative

materials, including thick film on alumina substrate resis-

tors and polypropylene capacitors, are used throughout.

Environmentally Conscious Design

In addition to total dedication for unmatched per-

formance, environmentally conscious considerations

influenced the design and engineering of the CLX. This

includes an advanced energy management design in its

electrical circuitry and the use of rapidly renewable or

highly recyclable structural materials like EcoSound™.

EcoSound is the proprietary advent of a Martin Logan alli-

ance with Klip BioTechnologies, LLC, the leading innovator

and manufacturer of certified eco-conscious materials.

EcoSound is composed of an FSC certified 50/50 blend

of plantation grown, rapidly renewable bamboo fiber and

post consumer recycled paper. These materials are bound

by a revolutionary co-polymer resin system that is 100%

water based and VOC free. CLX is the obvious first applica-

tion for this remarkable new audiophile grade material and

yet another giant step forward in Martin Logan’s continu-

ing commitment to produce irresistible high value products

from environmentally intelligent materials.
