Figure 18. This diagram illustrates how a conventional 
speaker system must use multiple crossover networks that 
have negative effects on the musical performance.
complex musical signal into the separate pieces 
(usually highs, mids, and lows) that each specific 
driver was designed to handle. Unfortunately, 
due to the phase relationships that occur within 
all crossover networks and during the acoustical 
recombination process, nonlinearities and severe 
degradation of the music signal take place in the 
ear’s most critical zone (see figure 18).
The EM-ESL X’s electrostatic transducer can single-
handedly reproduce all frequencies above 400 
Hz simultaneously. You have in one transducer the 
ability to handle in elegant simplicity the critical 
frequencies above 400 Hz.
The crossover phase aberrations that are 
associated with traditional tweeter, midrange, 
and woofer systems are eliminated. The result is 
a dramatic improvement in imaging and staging 
performance due to the minutely accurate phase 
relationship of the full-range panel wave launch.

Since the beginning of audio, achieving smooth 
dispersion has been a problem for all designers. 
Large  panel transducers present unique challenge 
because the  larger the panel,  the more direc-
tional the dispersion pattern becomes.
Wide range electrostats have long been one of 
the most problematic transducers because they 
attain their full range capabilities via a large 
surface area. It looked as if they were in direct 
conflict to smooth dispersion and almost every 
attempt to correct this resulted in either poor dis-
persion or a serious compromise in sound quality.
After extensive research, MartinLogan engineers 
discovered an elegantly simple solution to 
achieve a smooth pattern of dispersion without 
degrading sound quality. By curving the horizontal 
plane of the electrostatic transducer, a controlled 
horizontal dispersion pattern could be achieved, 
yet the purity of the almost massless electrostatic 
diaphragm remained uncompromised. After 
creating this technology, MartinLogan developed 
the production capability to bring it out of the 
laboratory and into the market place. You will 
find this proprietary MartinLogan technology used 
in all of our electrostatic products. It is one of 
the many reasons behind our reputation for high 
quality sound with practical usability. This is also 
why you see the unique “see through” cylindrical 
shape of MartinLogan products.
