MartinLogan Motion C10 Center Channel Speaker

Motion C10 Center Channel Speaker

To round out this series, you get the C10 center channel speaker with two of the 5.5” woven fiberglass drivers and the Gen 2 Motion Obsidian Folded Motion tweeter. These are actually a 2 ½ way 'anti-lobing' design with the crossover points at 1000 and 2000 Hz. They are the most sensitive in the line at 93db and the same 4 ohm impedance.

The cabinet on the C10 is tapered on one side, which means it can either sit flat on a shelf or, if you flip it over, it aims the face of the cabinet up a small angle enabling you to position it based on its height below your screen. With its rear-firing port, we do recommend it not be put inside a cabinet unless you just have to. If you must put it that way, you should check out our video on how to fine-tune your center channel speaker.

Dialog sounded great with the C10, but its best characteristic is its high sensitivity. Explosions that were mixed more to the center really came to life and having such a high sensitivity means you can more easily hear the tiny changes in the volume levels of people's voices when they are expressing subtle emotional cues, drawing you more into the film.
