A: Hi Joe, Great question. The DB2D is designed to pair with 800 Diamond products and it needs to have bass drivers with very low levels of distortion in order to seamlessly blend. As such, it is a chameleon and will blend well with any high quality speaker.
Q: Would the DB1D match the same sub DB1 ?
A: The DB1D is a upgraded version of the DB1. Upgrades include improved drivers sourced from the 800 Series, upgraded amplification and a new wireless system for controlling the features of the subwoofer.
A: Hello. While the DB2D can offer a high-end low-frequency performance to compliment many a loudspeaker set-up, for many it is the obvious choice for their carefully chosen speakers.

Dynamo subwoofers pack an incredible feature list and impressive power into a stylish, compact, room friendly package. With extensive technology including built-in wireless signal connection, anti-vibration feet, and easy to use app control, Dynamo series subwoofers not only look and sound incredible, but are extremely user friendly. Although correct placement plays a key role in optimizing subwoofer performance, getting a cable where you need it can be challenging. With the inconvenience of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets, properly concealing the subwoofer cable is not always a simple task. To solve the problem, Dynamo subwoofers incorporate a built-in Wireless Receiver for use with the included Wireless Subwoofer Transmitter. With quick and easy setup thanks to direct pairing, eliminating cable clutter has never been easier and with lossless transmission and low latency, even the most discerning enthusiast will be thrilled with the results. Solid bass performance is a critical component of any audio system, and helps provide visceral impact to your entertainment. The integrated anti-vibration feet improve bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations. By dramatically reducing the energy transfer between the subwoofer and the floor, unwanted room rattles and buzzes are removed, leaving tighter, cleaner bass and improved system clarity and dynamics. As a less intrusive alternative to acoustic room treatments, the integrated anti-vibration feet on Dynamo Series subwoofers can also help minimize noise complaints by reducing vibration transfers into adjoining rooms. Ideal for all floors, hard surface and carpet spike options are both included. Dynamo Series subwoofers also take advantage of MartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to easily adjust settings like Volume, DSP Mode, Phase, and many others right from the comfort of your seat for ultimate control and ease of tuning. With 3 DSP modes for Movies, Music, or Night, you can optimize the performance of your subwoofer with a single press in the app. Choose Movie for the highest output, Music for lowest distortion, or Night to tame things down and help reduce noise complaints. With connections for both RCA and XLR LFE, Stereo RCA, and Speaker level, Dynamo Series subwoofers are an ideal choice for both Home Theater and Music applications, integrating seamlessly into any system. The Subwoofer Out connection also makes it easy to add additional subwoofers to your system, further increasing bass performance. As with all MartinLogan subwoofers, the Dynamo Series is designed to work with any speaker system while also being uniquely engineered to keep pace with the renowned clarity of MartinLogan loudspeakers. Dynamo Series subwoofers offer highly detailed and powerful bass performance in a stylish and compact package.

The DB2D is a fantastic subwoofer. The sound quality is 5 stars but I'm giving it 4 stars because the Android App does not work when trying to initially set up the sub. In the end, it ultimately does not matter because my Yamaha 3070 amp has YPAO equalization routine. After running the YPAO routine, the sub was perfectly in phase with my stereo speakers, B & W 705-S2s. Three sets of feet are supplied with the DB2D: metal spikes for carpet, hard plastic half-moons for hard floors and foam spikes, also for hard floors. I used the half-moon hard plastic/rubber feet on a tiled floor and placed the sub about 5 feet from a corner and about 5 inches from a long interior wall, about 2 feet frrom the left stereo channel speaker. With the bass volume turned up, I can feel the bass from my seating position, about 12 feet away. I tested the sub and found it to be awesome, watching Independence Day and listening to the Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms song. The sub has a trigger which I have not set up yet. It has an auto-off feature after 20 minutes of inactivity and turns itself on when I turn on the receiver - in effect, you do not need to use the trigger. I'm feeding the sub through the LFE RCA jack. This is an expensive speaker but it performs at a level of quality commensurate with its expense. I'm looking forward to years of enjoyment.
