MartinLogan Motion SLM-XL On-Wall Speaker Ultra Slim LCR Home Theater Passive Single

Product Description

The MartinLogan Motion SLM-XL is engineered for those who demand high-fidelity sound but prefer a minimalist, low-profile aesthetic. This ultra-slim speaker is designed to complement the thinnest modern televisions, offering a depth that allows it to sit nearly flush against the wall. Despite its slender cabinet, the SLM-XL utilizes the advanced Folded Motion tweeter technology, which provides a large surface area to deliver exceptionally clear, detailed, and lightning-fast high frequencies.

To provide a rich and balanced soundstage, the SLM-XL features dual 4-inch high-excursion paper cone woofers supported by passive radiators. This configuration allows the speaker to produce a surprising amount of mid-bass and vocal clarity for its size. Whether you are using it as a front LCR (Left, Center, Right) channel or as a high-performance surround, the SLM-XL ensures a cinematic experience that fills the room without occupying any floor space.

Versatility is at the core of its design. The speaker includes a fixed wall-mount bracket, making it easy to install horizontally under a TV or vertically as side channels. Its sleek black finish and elegant form factor make it a seamless addition to any high-end living room or dedicated media space, providing the perfect bridge between architectural discretion and audiophile performance.
