Congratulations! You have invested in a new world of
home cinema!
The MartinLogan Fresco represents the culmination of an
intensive, dedicated group research program directed toward
establishing a world class reference monitor utilizing leading-
edge technology, without compromising durability, reliability,
craftsmanship or aesthetic design.
The advantages of MartinLogan ATF (advanced thin film)
technology will present themselves to you from the moment
the movie begins. The box effect (a phenomenon similar
to cupping your hand around your mouth when speaking)
produced by dynamic midrange drivers is absent and the
natural openness of the human voice comes through. Sounds
float around the screen clearly defining the area from
where they were created, not the area of the speaker that
created them.
The materials in your new Fresco speaker are of the highest
quality and will provide years of enduring enjoyment and
deepening respect. The cabinetry is constructed from the
highest quality HIPP (high-impact polypropylene) to create
an acoustically inert, high-density enclosure.
This User’s Manual will explain in detail the operation of
your Fresco speaker and the philosophy applied to their
design. A clear understanding of your speakers will insure
that you obtain maximum performance and pleasure from
this most exacting transducer. It has been designed and con-
structed to give you years of trouble-free listening enjoyment.
