Congratulations! You have invested in one of the world’s
premier loudspeaker systems.
The MartinLogan Scenario represents the culmination of an
intensive, dedicated group research program directed
toward establishing a world class reference monitor
utilizing leading-edge technology, without compromising
durability, reliability, craftsmanship or aesthetic design.
The result of cumulative technology gleaned from previous
research and development projects, the Scenario represents
the latest developments in electrostatic and hybrid loud-
speaker technology.
Combining our proprietary curvilinear electrostatic trans-
ducer with a compact, but powerful woofer, the Scenario
allows you to hear the ultimate in sound reproduction
anywhere you want. The Scenario reproduces music and
movie soundtracks with uncompromised electrostatic clarity
and surprising bass, all enclosed in the smallest electrostatic
package available in the world today.
The materials in your new Scenario speakers are of the highest
quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment and
deepening respect. The cabinetry is constructed from the
highest quality composite material for acoustical integrity and
is finished with our attractive custom matte finish.
Through rigorous testing, the curvilinear electrostatic panel
has proven itself to be one of the most durable and reliable
transducers available today. Fabricated from a custom tool
punched high-grade steel, the patented panel is then coated
with a special polymer that is applied via a proprietary electrostatic
deposition process. This panel assembly houses a membrane
just 0.0005 of an inch thick. Ruggedly constructed and
insulated, as much as 200 watts of continuous power has
driven the Scenario’s energized diaphragm into massive
excursions with no deleterious effects.
The other sections of your User’s Manual will explain
in detail the operation of your Scenario speakers and the
philosophy applied to their design. A clear understanding
of your speakers will insure that you obtain maximum per-
formance and pleasure from this most exacting transducer.
It has been designed and constructed to give you years of
trouble-free listening enjoyment.
