MartinLogan AFX

No, the AFX is designed specifically to sit on top of your existing floorstanding or bookshelf speakers. They use an angled baffle to bounce sound off your ceiling, creating an overhead effect without the need for custom installation or cutting into your drywall.

Yes, they are designed to be brand-agnostic. As long as your existing speakers have a flat top surface large enough to accommodate the AFX's 6.8-inch width and 10-inch depth, they will integrate seamlessly into your setup.

These modules perform best with flat, reflective ceilings made of drywall, plaster, or wood. Vaulted, coffered, or heavily textured ceilings can scatter the sound waves, which may reduce the precision of the overhead audio effect.

No, the AFX is specifically engineered as a height module for Dolby Atmos and other object-oriented audio formats. They are voiced and angled to reflect sound, so they will not function correctly if mounted on a wall or used as traditional surround speakers.

The AFX has an impedance of 4 Ohms and a recommended power range of 20–200 watts. Most modern home theater receivers can handle this load, but you should verify that your receiver supports 4-Ohm speakers before connecting them.

You connect them just like any other passive speaker using standard speaker wire. You will run a dedicated channel from your receiver's 'Height' or 'Atmos' output to each AFX module, then configure your receiver's settings to recognize them as 'Dolby Enabled' speakers.
