CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL SETTINGS
MartinLogan's engineering and design team developed the
Dynamo for easy setup and system integration. Before
beginning to connect your Dynamo, please review the
controls discussed in the last section. An understanding
of these will help speed you along as you connect and
integrate your Dynamo with your system. All signal
connections are done at the signal input section on
the rear connections panel of the Dynamo. Make certain
that all of your connections are tight.
WARNING! Turn your Dynamo subwoofer to
standby before making or breaking any signal
connections!
2-Channel Mode
This setup is recommended if your Dynamo will be used in
a 2-channel system with main speakers playing full range.
When a signal is connected to the Dynamo’s left/right
inputs, the Dynamo’s internal low pass filter is active.
Signal Connection (see figure 2):
1 Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier
to the left and right inputs of the Dynamo using quality
RCA interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set
of outputs you may need to obtain Y adapters from your
dealer.
Recommended Control Settings (see figure 3):
1
Set the low-pass filter switch to the closest option equal
to
70% of your loudspeakers lowest frequency response.
2 While playing music with bass content, turn the level con
-
trol up until the music has deep extended bass, being
careful to avoid levels that become overwhelming.
3 Try the phase control in different settings until the best
blending is obtained. If you are using the Dynamo to
augment other MartinLogan products, we suggest you
start with the phase set at 90°.
