MartinLogan Motion Discrete Cinema LCR9 2.5-Way On-Wall LCR Speaker for 85-Inch TVs in Black (Each) - DISCRETECINEMALCR9

MartinLogan DISCRETECINEMALCR9 Motion Discrete Cinema LCR9 2.5-Way On-Wall LCR Speaker for 85-Inch TVs in Black (Each)

The MartinLogan DISCRETECINEMALCR9 Motion Discrete Cinema Series passive¹ single-channel LCR loudspeaker is the flagship nine-driver model engineered to align the acoustic and visual scale of an 85 in class display.² It combines a Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter and Folded Motion Waveguide with four active and four passive 4 in woven-fiberglass cones in a sealed extruded-aluminum cabinet, delivering 70-25,000 Hz +/- 3 dB frequency response, 93 dB sensitivity and controlled 90 degrees x 90 degrees dispersion.

Horizontal or vertical installation lets the DISCRETECINEMALCR9 serve as a left, center, right or surround channel, while the included low-profile bracket and removable pre-wiring connector streamline a clean on-wall setup. The 20-280 watt recommended amplifier range and 4 Ohm impedance make amplifier matching an important part of planning a passive speaker system.

Key Features

LCR9 - The 85 in Match

MartinLogan scales driver density and output with screen class instead of simply extending the cabinet. With nine drivers and proportions intended for an 85 in class display,² the LCR9 helps a large picture feel supported by a soundstage with comparable presence, power and detail.

Horizontal or Vertical Single-Channel Flexibility

Mounted horizontally, this MartinLogan speaker functions as a low-profile center channel. Turn it vertically to place it beside the display as a left or right front channel, or use the same design in a low-profile surround position. This orientation freedom supports several theater layouts without changing speaker architecture.

Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter with 90 x 90 Degrees Dispersion

The Folded Motion Waveguide controls high-frequency coverage horizontally and vertically, directing detail toward the listening area while limiting performance-robbing reflections from nearby room surfaces. Its 90 degrees x 90 degrees dispersion supports consistent high-frequency coverage across both planes.

Woven Fiberglass Nine-Driver Architecture

Four active and four passive 4 in Woven Fiberglass Unibody Cones surround the high-frequency driver in the sealed design. Shared cone technology with current full-size Motion Series speakers supports timbre matching, while the material's stiffness-to-mass ratio and 1.5 in high-temperature voice coils help deliver punch and control from a shallow enclosure.

Sealed Extruded-Aluminum Enclosure

Rigid aluminum walls can be thinner than a similarly slim MDF construction, leaving more useful internal air volume for the drivers without adding exterior depth. The enclosure also resists flex, helping keep unwanted cabinet vibration from masking the speaker's output.

2.37 in Ultra-Slim Visual Symmetry

The cabinet proportions are calculated to echo a television bezel, creating a coordinated on-wall installation that complements a thin display. Curved endcaps soften the straight lines and reduce harsh visual shadows at the wall, while hidden mounting hardware helps the speaker recede into the room design.

Low-Profile Mount and Tool-Free Wiring

The included premium wall bracket keeps the speaker close to the wall and permits micro-adjustment for precise alignment. A removable connector lets the installer terminate speaker wire before lifting the cabinet into place, and tension levers secure the conductors without a screwdriver.

Full-Range System Planning

MartinLogan recommends pairing the LCR9 with at least one high-performance subwoofer for full-spectrum reproduction.³ This division lets the wall speaker concentrate on midrange and high-frequency clarity while the subwoofer handles deep bass, supporting a discrete-channel theater without floorstanding speaker clutter.
