MartinLogan Motion Foundation C1 Center Channel Speaker

The center channel handles the vast majority of dialogue and on-screen action in movies and TV shows. A dedicated speaker like the Motion Foundation C1 ensures voices are crisp, clear, and anchored directly to the screen, preventing them from getting lost in the background music or sound effects.

The Motion Foundation C1 measures 7.63 inches high, 20 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. It is designed to be furniture-friendly, but you should measure your console's shelf space to ensure you have enough clearance for both the speaker and any necessary ventilation.

The 2.5-way crossover design is specifically engineered to minimize 'lobing,' which is an uneven sound distribution that can occur in center channel speakers. This ensures that dialogue remains consistent and clear, even if you are sitting off to the side of the main viewing area.

The Motion Foundation C1 has a sensitivity of 91 dB and is recommended for amplifiers between 15W and 100W. Most modern home theater receivers will easily power this speaker, but check your receiver's specifications to ensure it is stable at a 4-ohm impedance load.

The Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter uses a thin-film diaphragm that moves air much faster and more efficiently than a traditional dome. This results in incredibly detailed, low-distortion high frequencies that make dialogue sound more natural and lifelike.
