Based on the groundbreaking technology of the original Descent, the BalancedForce 212 includes new features and improvements that simplify system integration while improving performance. Its two-element force-removing assembly virtually eliminates bass-blurring cabinet resonance. And both durable, custom-made aluminum bass cones are driven by sophisticated DSP-based high-power amplifiers. The result is a dynamic and unrestricted sound at the lowest frequencies, but still a clear and detailed sound.
You've probably read or heard that adding a subwoofer around electrostatic speakers is nearly impossible. Although this is not necessarily true, the idea is based on experience. For many years, subwoofers and electrostats did not mix very well. MartinLogan's goal when starting the first subwoofer project was to deliver deep, tight and powerful bass. The result is subwoofers that, combined with a very fast electrostatic, blend seamlessly into the lower frequencies. BalancedFore subwoofers are the perfect realization of years of engineering by the MartinLogan team combined with the latest innovations in advanced digital signal processing, amplification, electrical system design and room tuning.
The BalancedForce 212's advanced electronic control system brings a new level of flexibility to the system, allowing listeners to install custom low-pass filters on the speakers for perfect operation with MartinLogan speakers. Installation is easy - download a custom filter (from MartinLogan.com) and save it to a USB stick. Insert the station into the subwoofer's USB input and the DSP will do the rest!
