Get an immersive acoustic experience with this MartinLogan Sistine 4XC in-ceiling speaker. The 8-inch woofer delivers thundering bass, while the Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeter ensures clear, accurate highs. This MartinLogan Sistine 4XC in-ceiling speaker features a Nomex backer to reduce distortion and break up modes for improved sound quality.

The MartinLogan Sound

Regardless of the environment, our speakers sound better, more articulate, detailed, and realistic. With Controlled Dispersion and one of the clearest tweeters in the industry, our architectural models can compete with and often exceed the performance of traditional speakers.

Folded Motion XT Obsidian Tweeters

Masterpiece CI Series steps up the game with the Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters, which advance thin-film transducer technology even further. The result is superior realism and alarming specificity. Folded Motion XT takes tweeter technology to the next level

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Woofers

Sistine 4XC features cones using unidirectional carbon fiber, a material that is twice as strong as steel but with a sixth of the density, for exceptional rigidity without the weight. They are designed in multiple sections to take full advantage of this material.

Nomex Backers

Each cone is reinforced by a Nomex backer, for added damping that prevents ringing and reduces breakup modes in these extremely rigid cones. The drivers feature powerful, efficient magnet structures, enabling massive excursion and huge sound output, while preserving deep bass details.

Advanced Driver Engineering

To deliver more accuracy in the critical midrange, the mid-frequency drivers have their suspensions "stiffened." This raises the driver's resonant frequency and optimizes performance to achieve a natural roll-off, inherently keeping it in an ideal range for mid-frequencies

Proprietary Vojtko Crossover Networks

Vojtko Crossovers are named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko. Vojtko Crossovers are hand-built from the highest quality components and avoid overly complex topologies. This crossover has a straightforward objective: breathtaking realism.

Performance Meets Aesthetics

While there are many choices of CI speakers out there, MartinLogan stands out for bringing unique, high-performance technologies together in a package that perfectly blends discrete sound with noticeable quality. Performance and Aesthetics, both without compromise.

Controlled Dispersion

Room acoustics are extremely important. Everything in the listening room has an impact on the sound of your speakers, so we try to minimize the harmful effects by focusing the sound directly on your ears. This increases clarity, and detail regardless of the rooms design.
