MARTINLOGAN SUB

CONTROL APP

(AVAILABLE FOR iOS AND ANDROID)

MartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app uses a Bluetooth

connection to simplify setup and configuration of Dynamo 600X, 800X, 1100X, and

1600X. App based controls include volume level, low-pass filter (frequency and

order), phase, 20–30Hz level, three preset listening modes, and control of

Anthem Room Correction. A unique tone sweep feature assists users in locating

areas in listening rooms where troublesome rattles or resonances may occur. A

single press of a button allows listeners to initiate a tone sweep from

20–120Hz. If a rattle or resonance occurs in the room any frequency can be

held, allowing the listener to investigate and identify the source of the

unwanted noise.

ARC MOBILE APP

(AVAILABLE FOR iOS AND ANDROID)

In the lab, MartinLogan engineers strive for transparency.

Outside the lab, there’s one wildcard our engineers can never account for—the

listening room. The unique size and shape of a listening space (and its

contents) can make bass waves do unpredictable things, greatly affecting a

subwoofer’s overall performance. Anthem Room Correction measures low-frequency

sound output in a room and compares it to optimal response curves that account

for spatial anomalies. The advanced algorithms of Anthem Room Correction

effectively remove anomalies, leaving only the ideal standard— realistically

blended, natural-sounding bass. Dynamo 600X, 800X, 1100X, and 1600X utilize a

Bluetooth connection with a smartphone or USB connection with a PC to run

Anthem Room Correction.

OPTIONAL SWT-X WIRELESS INPUT (sold separately)

Although correct placement plays a key role in optimizing

subwoofer performance, sometimes it imposes the inconvenience of running long

lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets.

To solve the problem, Dynamo 600X, 800X, 1100X, and 1600X include a connection

port for an optional wireless system. MartinLogan’s new SWT-X Wireless

Subwoofer System (sold separately) incorporates the latest in wireless audio

transmission technology, including 2.4GHz dynamic frequency selection, forward

error correction, and a range up to 50 feet. Easy to install in the subwoofer,

the SWT-X receiver requires no external power source or audio connections.

LEFT AND RIGHT

2-CHANNEL INPUTS

Dynamo 400, 600X, 800X, 1100X, and 1600X subwoofers feature

left and right input via RCA line level as well as speaker level connections.

LFE HOME THEATER

INPUT

Dynamo 400 and 600X’s right inputs double as an LFE

input for home theater applications. Dynamo 800X ups the ante by adding a

discrete LFE RCA line level input. Dynamo 1100X and 1600X go one step further

by adding both XLR and RCA inputs for LFE connection.

POWERFUL, HIGH-EXCURSION, LOW-TURBULENCE, INVERTED SURROUND WOOFERS

The latest generation of MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofers

feature advanced-design woofers with inverted surrounds and powerful magnet,

motor, and suspension designs. In front-fire mode the unique inverted surround

design maximizes excursion clearance behind the grill cover. When positioned in

a down-firing configuration, the inverted surround significantly reduces

airflow related turbulence for an articulate and detailed low-frequency experience.

These advanced-technology woofers pair a high-power magnet structure

(significantly more robust than previous generations) with low-mass diaphragms

to provide massive excursions while perfectly preserving the tiniest bass

detail. The exceptional damping properties of the cone ensure a smooth,

non-resonant response necessary for truly seamless blending with

high-performance loudspeakers. Every element of Dynamo subwoofers has been

meticulously designed to deliver a staggering low-frequency performance – all

without a hint of distortion.

ADVANCED

ULTRA-EFFICIENT SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLIES AND CLASS-D AMPLIFIERS

Dynamo subwoofer class-D amplifiers operate with extremely

low levels of distortion and deliver dynamic impact with plenty of overhead.

Low- noise, high-power switching power supplies produce clean power efficiently

in a small space and effortlessly provide tremendous levels of current. Both

feature high-quality MOSFET transistors, transformers, noise-suppression

networks, and control circuitry. The switching power supply combined with

reliable class-D technology means there’s virtually no energy lost in the

subwoofer system.

INVERSE MATHEMATICAL

EQUALIZATION (IME) FILTER

The IME filter used in the Dynamo subwoofers is derived from

the inverse of the unfiltered driver response. Precision IME filtering yields

extremely accurate low-frequency response—superior to that provided by the

simple second-order high-Q filters typically found in subwoofers in this price

range.

LOW-TURBULANCE PORTS

When properly optimized and executed, ports are

a convenient, cost- effective way to increase low-frequency output. Dynamo 400

and 600X feature tuned, long low-turbulence ports designed to provide superb

low-end extension while minimizing port induced distortion.

About MartinLogan

MartinLogan emerged in the late 1970s from Lawrence, Kansas, when Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan Sutherland, sharing a passion for electrostatic loudspeakers, united their engineering and design expertise. The duo, whose middle names inspired the brand, unveiled their breakthrough at the 1983 CES with the Monolith—the world's first practical hybrid electrostatic speaker, blending a curved panel for mids and highs with a dynamic woofer for bass. This American innovation addressed longstanding electrostatic limitations like fragility and poor low-end response, propelling the company from a high-end audio store collaboration to a dedicated manufacturing powerhouse.

The brand specializes in electrostatic and hybrid speakers, from flagship floorstanders like the CLX and Summit X to more accessible Motion Series designs, alongside complementary powered subwoofers and select electronics. Their proprietary thin-film transducers, advanced panel assembly, and room-optimized engineering define a lineup that prioritizes transparency and precision over conventional dynamic drivers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.

Positioned firmly in the high-end market, MartinLogan commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its unwavering commitment to electrostatic purity, delivering ethereal soundstaging and timbral accuracy that make cabinets vanish. Now part of the PML group alongside Paradigm and Anthem, it blends Kansas heritage with rigorous innovation, appealing to buyers seeking reference-level realism in home audio and theater systems.
