Overview

  • The Dynamo 1600X subwoofer features left and right input via RCA line and speaker level connections. Its right inputs double as and LFE input for home theater applications.
  • MartinLogan's Subwoofer Control app utilizes Bluetooth for the setup and configuration of Dynamo 600X, 800X, 1100X, and 1600X. The app can control volume level, low-pass filter (frequency and order) phase, three preset listening modes, 20-30Hz level, and the control of Anthem Room Correction.
  • The newest MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofers include inverted surrounds and strong magnet, motor, and suspension designs. The front-fire mode maximizes excursion clearance behind the grill cover with the unique inverted surround design. In a down-firing configuration, the inverted surround significantly reduces airflow related turbulence for an articulate and detailed low-frequency experience.
  • The advanced woofers pair a high-power magnet structure with low-mass diaphragms, providing massive excursions while preserving the smallest bass detail.
  • The remarkable damping properties of the 8-inch inverted surround poly cone woofer ensure a smooth, non-resonant response for seamless blending.
  • The Dynamo subwoofer class-D amplifiers function with extremely low levels of distortion and deliver a staggering low-frequency performance and dynamic impact with plenty of overhead. Low-noise, high-power switching power supplies create clean power efficiently in a small space while providing tremendous levels of current. The amplifiers feature high-quality MOSFET transistors, transformers, noise-suppression networks, and control circuitry.
  • The Inverse Mathematical Equalization (IME) Filter is used from the inverse of the unfiltered driver response. IME filtering yields extremely accurate low-frequency response that is superior to that provided by second-order high-Q filters found in other subwoofers of this price range.

Love it!

I bought this unit as a leap of faith based on a recommendation by an Audio Advice online support member. When I gave it the first listen it brought tears to my eyes! This was before placement and fine tuning. The shear power of this sub left a lot of room for my B & W’s take care of the rest in a way I never heard before. BTW “Return to Forever” was my go to on first listen. Going to have a lot of good relistening time in my future. Thanks!

ML hits a home run with the 1600X sub

Various makers have raised their game lately and you have plenty of options for subwoofers, but MartinLogan has upped the ante by making their latest versions user configurable for either down- or front-firing with a simple change of four "feet". It's easy, quick and reversible. This particular model also has the Anthem Room Correction and allows you to control most settings from the comfort of your easy chair with a smartphone app. As always, the best names in audio deliver the most bang for your buck - literally in this case.
