The MartinLogan Dynamo 12 is designed to deliver reference-level bass performance through advanced acoustic engineering, powerful amplification, and sophisticated digital signal processing. Combining a compact enclosure with exceptional output capabilities, it is an ideal addition to high-performance stereo and home theater systems.
At its core is a custom-designed 12-inch high-excursion anodized aluminum woofer, engineered using advanced Klippel analysis to maximize output while minimizing distortion. Aluminum's lightweight yet rigid construction provides excellent strength and heat dissipation, allowing the driver to reproduce deep, powerful bass with remarkable precision and control.
Powering the woofer is MartinLogan's Magnitude MT-1.6kW amplifier, delivering 800W of continuous power and up to 1,600W peak output. This high-efficiency Class D amplifier provides substantial dynamic headroom while maintaining exceptionally low distortion.
The Dynamo 12 also incorporates MartinLogan's advanced 500MHz Vojtko DSP engine with 64-bit processing. This powerful digital signal processing system optimizes subwoofer performance in real time and enables advanced features, including Bluetooth control, customizable listening modes, and compatibility with Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) for room-specific bass calibration.
One of its standout features is its integrated wireless connectivity. The Dynamo 12 includes a wireless receiver and transmitter, allowing lossless audio transmission with low latency and eliminating the need for a traditional subwoofer cable.
Its sealed cabinet is constructed from 1-inch-thick MDF with additional reinforcement around the woofer baffle, providing a solid and stable enclosure that minimizes unwanted resonance. Integrated anti-vibration feet further reduce energy transfer to floors and walls, improving bass clarity while minimizing unwanted room vibrations.
With flexible connectivity options, including RCA, XLR, and speaker-level inputs, the Dynamo 12 integrates easily into sophisticated audio systems. Its MartinLogan Subwoofer Control app also allows convenient adjustment of volume, phase, crossover frequency, and listening modes directly from a mobile device.
