Upgrade your TV audio with clarity and style using the Motion SLM X3 by MartinLogan—an ultra-slim 3-channel passive soundbar designed to deliver true left, center, and right channel performance in a compact form.

Unlike traditional soundbars, the SLM X3 features a true 3-channel design (L/C/R) with three Folded Motion tweeters and six 4” woofers, creating a wide, detailed soundstage with exceptional dialogue clarity. Its ultra-thin profile (under 2 inches deep) makes it the perfect match for modern flat-panel TVs.

Designed for wall mounting or shelf placement, it provides a clean, minimalist solution without sacrificing the refined sound signature MartinLogan is known for.

The MartinLogan Motion SLM X3 Ultra is an ultra-slim passive LCR soundbar engineered to deliver true high-performance home theater audio while maintaining the sleek appearance of today's flat-panel televisions. Unlike conventional soundbars, the Motion SLM X3 houses three completely independent speaker channels within a single cabinet, providing dedicated left, center, and right audio reproduction for a genuine surround sound experience when paired with an AV receiver. At just two inches deep, it offers premium performance without dominating the room.

Each channel features MartinLogan's acclaimed Folded Motion® Tweeter paired with dual 4-inch high-excursion woofers, producing exceptional dialogue clarity, precise imaging, and dynamic performance. The Folded Motion technology moves air far more efficiently than conventional dome tweeters, resulting in faster transient response, lower distortion, and outstanding detail. MartinLogan's proprietary crossover design ensures seamless integration between drivers, delivering a wide, immersive soundstage for movies, television, and music.

Designed specifically for modern home theater installations, the Motion SLM X3 mounts neatly beneath large flat-screen displays using the included low-profile wall bracket. Its sealed enclosure allows for flexible placement close to the wall, while the elegant magnetic grille maintains a clean, contemporary appearance that complements virtually any décor. Three independent input terminals simplify connection to an AV receiver while preserving complete channel separation.

Whether serving as the front stage of a premium surround sound system or replacing traditional left, center, and right speakers where space is limited, the Motion SLM X3 Ultra delivers the signature MartinLogan sound in a remarkably slim form factor. Its combination of architectural elegance, installation flexibility, and audiophile-grade performance makes it an outstanding solution for modern home entertainment environments.
