Multi-Channel Mode
This setup is recommended if your Dynamo will be used in a
dedicated home theater or multi-channel system. When a
signal is connected to the Dynamo’s LFE input, Dynamo’s inter-
nal low pass filter is not active. By following this setup, you will
allow your processor to handle most of the bass management.
Signal Connection (see figure 4):
1 Connect the LFE/0.1 subwoofer output of the processor to
the LFE input of the Dynamo using a quality RCA interconnect.
WARNING!
Based on the performance of most processors,
it is recommended that MartinLogan center and
effects type speakers (i.e. Cinema i, Theater i and
Script i) not be run in large, wide or full range mode.
Doing so may potentially damage the speaker if
the processor attempts to drive the speaker beyond
its rated frequency range. This warning also
applies to products from other manufacturers.
It is recommended to run center and effects type
speakers in limited or narrow mode.
Some processors have an option to route the 0.1
channel to your main and/or surround speakers.
We recommend that you do not use this option.
Recommended Control Settings (see figure 5):
1 Use the bass management section of your processor‘s
speaker level setup option to set the subwoofer level at
an appropriate level. Follow the instructions in your pro
-
cessor manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.
2 If your processor offers the option to setup crossovers for a
subwoofer, we recommend that you start with the following
settings—Crossover: 70Hz, High-Pass: 12dB, and Low-
Pass: 24dB. The optimal setting for these options may
vary depending on your room and listening preferences.
3 Adjust the phase control until ideal blending is obtained.
If you hear no discernible difference leave the phase at 0°.
4 Follow the instructions in your processor manual to
fine-tune the subwoofer level.
