MartinLogan ML-55AW Outdoor Speakers – Pair

Every GoldenEar SuperSat satellite speaker model takes advantage of the extraordinary GoldenEar High‐Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR™) design tweeter. The HVFR tweeter propagates sound waves and moves the air by squeezing it with its accordion‐like pleated diaphragm, rather than pushing it as conventional drivers do. The result is better impedance matching to the air in the room with greater control, smoother more extended response with lower distortion and dramatically improved dynamic range. Each SuperSat speaker model also utilizes GoldenEar’s ground‐breaking 4.5" cast-basket upper bass/midrange drivers, which incorporate our proprietary Multi-Vaned Phase Plug design (MVPP™) as well as our proprietary computer optimized cone topology, arranged in a D’Appolito array surrounding the HVFR tweeter.

• Four 4-1/2" high-definition cast-basket MVPP™ bass/midrange drivers
• Two 4" x 7" quadratic planar low-frequency radiators
• One high-velocity folded ribbon (HVFR™) tweeter

• A single 5.25-inch paper cone woofer doped for stability and damping.
• Precision Vojtko™ crossover with custom air core coil and low DCR steel laminate inductors; polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors.
• Designed to easily corner mount, wall mount or angle-wall mount for versatile placement in any room.
• Convenient push-style binding posts easily adapt to accept banana plugs.

• Mount your speakers on the ground, in a tree, on a deck rail, or under an eave with the 12" Ground Stake.
• The half-inch threaded "Quick Twist Cap" gives you the flexibility to mount or "plant" the satellites anywhere to get the sound coverage you want.
• "Quick Twist Cap" works universally with all three speaker mounts: 12" Ground Stake, wire-protecting Burial conduit Junction, or Surface Mount Bracket for walls and decks.

The ForceField Subwoofers’ unique and attractive cabinet shape, with its non-parallel cabinet walls (the top is narrower than the bottom when viewed from the front), helps the ForceField subs achieve extraordinarily deep and tuneful bass that is ideal for music and movies. Their cutting-edge amplifier design employs state-of-the-art DSP control for frequency shaping so the subwoofer produces accurate, consistent, and musical bass performance. Many of today's subwoofers fall into either the ultra-compact high-output category or the (larger) high performance, extended response, high-output category. These two design types tend to offer different performance benefits, the ultra-compact having the ability to play extremely loud, but over a narrower bandwidth and the large subs having this high output plus more extended response. GoldenEar's engineering team set out to accomplish the best of both worlds with the new ForceField subwoofers: small size, yet with the smooth & wide response of a larger sub. There's no sleight of hand, just great engineering - all ForceField subwoofers share the same technologies, here is a list of their features. Read through these and then take a good demo disc into your GoldenEar dealer's sound room and listen for yourself.

• Custom-designed high-output drivers with very large motor assemblies. These drivers handle massive power, have very long excursions, and have ultra-low distortion.
• Rigid cabinets with non-parallel sides to minimize standing waves and distortion. The drivers are front firing in all of our subwoofers for optimal performance. The cabinets' possess a unique and understated shape and style that matches well with any décor.
• The driver's response is enhanced with a carefully tuned, down-firing, quadratic-shaped passive radiator (no noisy ports on ForceField subs). The quadratic shape allows the radiators to use maximum surface area on the bottom of the cabinets and gets even greater output from the slot-loading that results from the subwoofers' interface with the floor (see next point).
• The soft, energy-absorbing feet provided with every ForceField sub serve a number of functions. First, they hold the subwoofer at the correct distance off the floor so the passive radiator slot-loads with it for significantly increased output at the lowest frequencies. Second, the soft feet keep the subwoofer from dancing around on the floor.
• ForceField subwoofer amplifiers are designed in-house by GoldenEar engineering, so each is the perfect amp to power its specific subwoofer model.
• In addition, the amps all have powerful DSP sections to optimize frequency response, minimize distortion and prevent damage from overdriving. These amplifiers are all low distortion and extraordinarily powerful (up to 1500 watts on the ForceField 5) for reproducing seriously high-output AND low bass.
• ForceField subs all have speaker-level inputs and outputs (with a high pass crossover on the outputs) as well as a direct LFE input, too.
• Non-parallel sides minimize standing waves and distortion. The shape allows the radiators to use maximum surface area on the bottom of the cabinets and gets even greater output from the slot-loading that results from the subwoofers' interface with the floor.
• Features 1000-watt digital amp, 8" high-power long-throw active driver, and 9-5/8"x 11-3/8" quadratic planar infrasonic radiator.
