INTRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION IN BRIEF Introduction Congratulations! You have invested in one of the world's premier subwoofers. The Martinlo gan Dy nam o 1 OOOW and 700W subwoo fe rs represe nt th e exte nsio n o f o n inte nsive, ded icated team research program directed toward establishing a world class line of reference subwoofers using leading-edge technology, without co mpromising dura bility, reliability, craftsmanship or aesthetics.

CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL 5EniNGS Before Connecting the Dynamo Martinlogan's engineering and design team developed the Dynamo 1OOOW and Dynamo 700W subwoofers for easy setup and system integratio n. Before beginn ing to connect your subwoofer, please review the con trols discussed in the last sectio n. An understanding of these will help speed you along as you connect and integrate your subwoofer w ith your system.
Multi-Channei/LFE Mode This setup is recommended if your subwoofer will be used in a dedicated home theater or multi-channel system. When a signal is connected to the subwoofer's LFE input, and the crossover switch is set to 'Bypass (LFE In)' the internal low pass filter is not active. By following this setup, you will allow your processor to handle most of the bass management.
AC Power Connection WARNING! The power cord should not be installed, removed, or leh detached from the subwoofer while the other end is connected to an AC power source. The IEC power cord should be firm ly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the subwoofer, then to any convenient AC wall outlet.
PLACEMENT Listening Position Generally, subwoofers have the most output when placed in the corner of a room. However, this can also exaggerate the subwoofers output making blending difficult. We recommend starting by placing the subwoofer in a corner. If, after the full range of tuning techniques have been employed, the subwoofer sounds like it has too much upper bass energy try pulling it away from the wall, toward the listening position.
Figure 9. The Dynamo l OOOW and Dynamo 700W are capable of both front-firing and down-firing woofer orientations. Changing Woofer Orientation When installing the subwoofer in a cabinet it is recommended that the subwoofer be converted to a front firing configuration. (see figure 9). Prepare a flat surface with a blanket to protect the finish. Unplug signal and power connections. Remove the grill cloth. 2 Carefully lay the subwoofer on its side. Using a coin, unscrew the attached feet. (see figure l 0).
ROOM ACOUSTICS Your Room This is an area that requires both a little background to understand and some time and experimentation to a ttain the best performance from your system. Your room is actually a component and an important part of your system. This component is a Iorge variable and can dramatically add to or subtract from a great sonic experience. All sound is composed of waves.
HOME THEATER It had long been the practice of stereo buffs to connect their television to a stereo system. The advantage was the use of the larger speakers and more powerful amplifier of the stereo system. Even though the sound was greatly improved, it was still mono and limited by the broadcast signal. In the late 1970's and early 1980's two new home movie formats became widely available to the public: VCR and laser disc. By 1985, both formats had developed into very high quality audio/video sources.
FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions Troubleshooting How do I clean my subwoofer? No Output Use a dust free cloth or a soh brush to clean your subwoofer. We recommend a specialty cloth (a vailable through the Xtatic shop at www.martinlogan.com) that cleans better than anything else we have tried. Can I turn oH the blinking light on the back of my sub? The LED will blink slowly if the w ireless transmitter is not in use.
SPECIFICATIONS Dynamo 1 OOOW Specifications The Dynamo 1OOOW subwoofer system con sists of a single woofer for high SPL output with minimal distortion. The equalization used is specifical ly designed to counteract the response of the woofers sealed box response. This equa liza tion leads to minima l group delay and proper transient response. Dynamo 700W Specifications The Dynamo 700W subwoofer system consists of a single woofer for high SPL output w ith minima l distortion.
