MARTINLOGAN’S NEW LINE OF GROUND-BREAKING SUBWOOFERS.

Featuring powerful amplifiers and audiophile grade woofers, extensive input options,

®

wireless connectivity, control via a Bluetooth app, Anthem Room Correction (ARC

), and
user-configurable front- or down-firing designs, these Dynamo subwoofers represent the
most advanced, high-performance, affordable subwoofer systems ever brought to market.
Dramatic bass detail and attack, superb extension, and room-shaking output ensure a
compelling music and home theater experience.

Advanced-technology inverted surround woofers pair a powerful magnet structure with a
rigid, lightweight diaphragm, and powerful amplifiers to deliver huge excursion and sound
output while perfectly preserving the most subtle bass details. RCA, XLR, speaker level, and
wireless signal connectivity offer the most flexible array of input options available today.
Putting control in the listener’s hands, iOS and Android subwoofer control apps allow
precise configuration of subwoofer settings while industry leading Anthem Room Correction
(ARC) guarantees an accurate bass performance custom tailored to each unique listening room.

OPTIONAL SWT-X WIRELESS INPUT

Dynamo 600X, 800X, 1100X, and 1600X include a
connection port for an optional wireless system. The
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.

HIGH-EXCURSION, LOW-TURBULENCE,
INVERTED SURROUND WOOFERS

Dynamo subwoofers feature advanced-design woofers
with inverted surrounds and powerful magnet, motor,
and suspension designs. High-power magnet structures
(significantly more robust than previous generations) pair
with low-mass diaphragms to provide massive excursions
while perfectly preserving the tiniest bass detail.

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.

UNIQUE FRONT-FIRING
OR DOWN-FIRING DESIGN

When placed inside of a cabinet or other
discreet location, Dynamo 800X, 1100X,
and 1600X subwoofers can easily convert
from standard down-firing to front-firing
orientation. A grille is provided for use in
front-firing applications.

MARTINLOGAN
SUBWOOFER CONTROL APP

Available for iOS & Android

The MartinLogan 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 a tone sweep feature.

ROOM CORRECTION

Available for PC, iOS, & Android

The unique size and shape of a listening
space (and its contents) can make bass waves
do unpredictable things, greatly affecting
a subwoofer’s performance. Anthem Room
Correction (ARC) measures low-frequency
sound output in a room and compares it to
optimal response curves that account for
spatial anomalies. ARC effectively removes
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 to PC connection to run ARC.

Designed for exceptional per­formance in music and home
theater applications, Dynamo
subwoofer systems offer an
extremely comprehensive array
of connections.

LEFT AND RIGHT
2-CHANNEL INPUTS

All five new Dynamo subwoofers feature
left and right input via RCA line level
and speaker level connections.

LFE HOME THEATER INPUT

Dynamo 400 and 60 0X’s right input
doubles as an LFE input for home theater
applications. Dynamo 800X ups the ante
by adding a discrete LFE RCA line level
input. D y n a m o 11 0 0 X and 16 0 0 X 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/off.

SIMULTANEOUS LFE AND
2-CHANNEL CONNECTIONS

Robust connection and control systems
found in the Dynamo 800X, 1100X, and
16 0 0 X allow simultaneous connection of
both 2-channel stereo music and multi­channel home theater and allows each
source to have individual crossover and
level settings. 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.
