Martin Logan ELECTROMOTION FX2
MartinLogan surround speaker with Folded Motion transducer, designed for wall mounting or corner placement.
Description
The ElectroMotion FX2 is a surround speaker from MartinLogan, designed to handle the rear or side channels of a home cinema installation. Its format is specifically designed for wall mounting or installation in a room corner, two classic positions for surround channels.
It features a midrange-tweeter Folded Motion transducer, a technology exclusive to MartinLogan, here in an oversized version. This type of transducer is based on a pleated diaphragm principle that differs from conventional dome tweeters, with the aim of delivering fast and precise reproduction of treble and midrange frequencies, particularly suited to the directional effects sought on surround channels.
MartinLogan states that the acoustic characteristics of the ElectroMotion FX2 are designed to match the brand's electrostatic speakers, such as the ElectroMotion ESL. This model is therefore primarily aimed at users looking to build or complete a home cinema system already equipped with MartinLogan speakers, seeking tonal consistency between the front and surround channels.
This speaker is suited to multichannel use, in a room dedicated to home cinema or to listening to audiovisual content requiring pronounced sound spatialisation. Its wall or corner mounting design makes it a sensible choice for installations where floor space is limited or for setups where visual integration is a priority.
What to check before buying used
On this surround speaker, the Folded Motion transducer deserves careful inspection: it is a fragile and costly-to-replace component, to be checked across its entire surface for creases, dents or tears in the diaphragm. Run your hand over the protective grilles and the tweeter to detect any abnormal play or rubbing noise when the cone moves. The cabinet and the wall or corner mounting fixtures should also be examined, as these speakers are often mounted and removed during house moves. A test at moderate volume across the full frequency range makes it possible to identify any internal connection fault or localised distortion.
