Description
MartinLogan Dynamo 12 – 12″ 800W Subwoofer – Dynamo Series subwoofers carry forward the namesake of one of MartinLogan’s most popular products of all time, the original Dynamo subwoofer, known for its impeccable precision, compact size, and indisputable quality. The Dynamo Series subwoofers continue that legacy while incorporating modern technologies and innovations, creating a completely new take on this classic recipe.
Seamlessly Integrating High-Performance Audio with Elegant Design
Emphasizing high performance and decor-friendly aesthetics, MartinLogan subwoofers expertly blend audiophile musicality and theatricality with dynamic output and accuracy in a compact design. As with all MartinLogan subwoofers, the Dynamo Series is designed to work with any speaker system while being uniquely engineered to keep pace with the exotic thin-film technologies utilized in MartinLogan loudspeakers.
Advanced Aluminum Woofers for Powerful, Distortion-Free Bass
Dynamo Subwoofers feature custom-designed aluminum woofers tuned using state-of-the-art Klippel analysis for high output and low distortion. Aluminum’s light weight, high strength, and excellent heat dissipation make it ideal for delivering clean, powerful bass in a compact design. Meticulously engineered
for reliability, Dynamo subwoofers offer versatile performance to meet your musical and powerful bass needs.
Magnitude®
1kW and 1.6kW Amplifiers Redefine Dynamo Performance
MartinLogan’s proprietary Magnitude® Amplifiers unlock the full potential of custom-engineered Dynamo woofers. Featuring two carefully crafted architectures, the advanced Magnitude® 1kW in the Dynamo 10 delivers up to 1000W Peak (500W RMS) of clean power, ensuring remarkable impact and seamless musicality. Meanwhile, the Magnitude® 1.6kW in the Dynamo 12 offers an impressive 1600W Peak (800W RMS), delivering powerful, deep bass with unparalleled clarity, precision and visceral impact. These ultra-efficient Class-D architectures guarantee exceptional control, providing an immersive audio experience that enhances all your favorite content.
Advanced Vojtko DSP Engine: Elevating Subwoofer Performance
Dynamo subwoofers utilize the cutting-edge, ultra-high-resolution Vojtko DSP engine, named after MartinLogan’s Chief Audio Technologist. Featuring a best-in-class 500MHz DSP with 64-bit processing, the Vojtko DSP engine controls all aspects of subwoofer performance in real-time. This level of computing power enables advanced features like wireless app control, integrated wireless signal connection, and other advanced DSP functions with complete audible transparency, allowing MartinLogan engineers to fine-tune performance for maximum output and fidelity. Thanks to the computational power of this sophisticated DSP engine, Dynamo subwoofers are also compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction system.
Reduced Vibration, Enhanced Bass
Solid bass performance is a critical component of any audio system and contributes to the visceral impact of your entertainment. Dynamo’s integrated anti-vibration feet improve bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations. By dramatically reducing energy transfer between the subwoofer and the floor, unwanted room rattles and buzzes are eliminated, resulting in tighter, cleaner bass and improved system clarity and dynamics. As a less intrusive alternative to acoustic room treatments, Dynamo’s integrated antivibration feet can also help minimize noise complaints by reducing vibration transfer into adjoining rooms. Suitable for all types of flooring, options include hard surface and carpet spikes.
Fine-Tune Your Subwoofer Settings with MartinLogan’s Intuitive App
By far the most convenient way to adjust a subwoofer, MartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android devices allows you to easily adjust settings such as Volume, DSP Mode, Phase, and many others right from the comfort of your seat for ultimate control and ease of tuning.
Optimize Bass Performance with Award-Winning Anthem Room Correction
Dynamo subwoofers are compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction system. This highly advanced software measures subwoofer performance in your room and then performs custom equalization, tuning, and calibration to achieve the highest levels of bass impact and accuracy possible for your specific installation. Requires an ARC Calibration Microphone and a PC or Mac computer (sold separately).
