Martin Logan Statement 40 XW

Forty drivers. Seven feet tall with a 52-inch stack of thin-film tweeters. It's the flagship of the Masterpiece CI Series. The Statement 40XW is an enormous, self-contained in-wall loudspeaker system using a super-efficient line-source design to deliver a massive dynamic attack in even the largest listening areas. And it's virtually invisible, taking up no floor space at all.

Statement 40XW is an audio experience like no other—only from MartinLogan.

Features: 

• Sixteen lightning-fast Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters.
• Sixteen 3.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber multi-section cone midrange drivers with Nomex® backers.
• Eight timbre-matched 6.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber multi-section cone woofers with Nomex® backers.
• Proprietary Vojtko crossover networks seamlessly blend drivers across the full spectrum.
• Phenolic baffle and acoustically-inert sealed back box enclosure that easily installs.
• Low profile, paintable, micro-perf grilles vanish into any decor.

If your performance benchmark is MartinLogan's most ambitious floor-standing hybrid electrostatic loudspeakers, it's going to be quite a challenge to achieve that level of accuracy and impact in an in-wall speaker.

Challenge accepted. The Statement 40XW is a triumph of audio engineering. Its performance (and sheer size) rivals the very best of our electrostatic models, with full-on speed and high-frequency accuracy, incredibly detailed midrange, and life-like deep bass impact. And yet it takes up absolutely no space in your room and vanishes into any decor.

It's an incredible sixteen tweeters, and sixteen mid-range drivers, and eight woofers, arrayed in a line-source design and built directly into your wall, delivering awe-inspiring levels of full-spectrum dynamic output even in the largest listening areas.

The keys to this performance are superior components and innovative design. The multi-driver design allows each driver and tweeter to operate with extreme efficiency. This combination of high-resolution drivers, each working to offset the demands on the others, results in a highly accurate and distortion-free performance, even during the most demanding sonic passages, and even at realistic volume levels.

The large line-source design also ensures the same sonic impact over a large area of listening positions. There's no drop-off, as can be the case with smaller, point-source designs.

With each channel featuring a mind-boggling forty drivers, you simply have to hear the Statement 40XW to believe it.

Surprisingly Discreet Installation

Whether you are designing a new listening room from the ground up or retrofitting a room back to the studs, it's the perfect time to incorporate built-in audio. And if you're planning a larger than average space, it's worth considering a massive line-source loudspeaker that both vanishes into your decor, and puts even the farthest seat in the sweet spot.

The Statement 40XW incorporates a reinforced, sealed, acoustically-inert back box enclosure that isolates and decouples the drivers from the wall surface. 

This sealed box enclosure, with its uniform volume and material, eliminates in-wall variables from the acoustic equation, guaranteeing a consistent, accurate performance in any installation. The sealed design also effectively eliminates audio leak-through into adjoining rooms.

It fits comfortably between studs and works with both 1/2- or 5/8-inch wallboard.  

The low profile, paintable, micro-perforated grille presents a clean, near-invisible aesthetic. One of the world's most incredible audio performances, from practically invisible loudspeakers!
