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.

UNIQUE FRONT-FIRING

OR DOWN-FIRING DESIGN

When placed in a cabinet or other discreet location, Dynamo

800X, 1100X, and 1600X subwoofers can easily convert from standard down-firing

to front-firing orientation, with no tools or special skills required. A grille

is provided for use in front-firing applications.

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.

12V TRIGGER INPUT

Dynamo 800X, 1100X, and 1600X feature 12V Trigger Inputs,

allowing an external device to turn the subwoofer on and off.

SIMULTANEOUS LFE AND

2-CHANNEL CONNECTIONS

Dynamo 800X, 1100X, and 1600X subwoofers features left and

right input via robust connection and a control system that allows simultaneous

connection of both 2-channel stereo music and multi-channel home theater and

allows each source to have individual crossover and level settings, giving

listeners a perfect performance in every application. LFE inputs use no

low-pass filter, leaving crossover control to the processor. Left and right

inputs integrate discrete user-adjustable low-pass filters allowing different

level and crossover points when playing back two channel music.

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.

SEALED CABINET WITH

EXTENSIVE INTERNAL BRACING

Although ports, when correctly designed, are a convenient

and cost-effective way of increasing low-frequency output, when used in small

cabinets their reliance on resonant energy can impair bass quality. Dynamo

800X, 1100X, and 1600X are compact, sealed subwoofer systems that minimize

transient-blurring group delay while maintaining smooth, consistent response,

regardless of music or movie source material. The cabinets are constructed from

the finest composite material for acoustic integrity. Inside, critically placed

structural cross-bracing provides a stable foundation for the woofer, while the

added rigidity keeps cabinet-induced resonances and non-linearities to

inaudible levels.

BUILT-IN ETC™ (ENERGY

TRANSFER COUPLER) SPIKES

Dynamo 800X, 1100X, and 1600X come with

custom ETC spikes which can be used to enhance stability on thick carpets, or

create tighter coupling between subwoofer and floor to enhance overall sound

quality. The built-in spikes are conveniently and discretely hidden underneath

the rubber feet.
