MartinLogan Descent [4/20] Introduction

4 Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have invested in one of the world's

premier subwoofers.

The MartinLogan Descent represents the culmination of an

intensive, dedicated team research program directed toward

establishing a world class reference subwoofer using leading-

edge technology, without compromising durability, reliability,

craftsmanship or aesthetics.

The Descent subwoofer uses three custom 10-inch high-

excursion drivers in a BalancedForce™ bass alignment, which

dramatically reduces cabinet vibrations. This allows deep,

tight, well-defined bass. Servo-controlled woofers minimize

distortion. A new, digital 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 Descent subwoofer with both MartinLogan and

non-MartinLogan products both seamless and simple.

The materials in your new Descent subwoofer are of the

highest quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment

and deepening respect. The trim options are created from

selected hardwoods and other interesting design materials.

The cabinetry is constructed from the highest quality com-

posite material for acoustical integrity and is finished with

our attractive custom matte coat.

The User's Manual will explain in detail the operation of

your Descent subwoofer and the philosophy applied to its

design. A clear understanding will insure that you obtain

maximum performance and pleasure from this most exact-

ing subwoofer.
