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.

Abyss Series subwoofers offer a twist on traditional subwoofer design. Combining the enhanced output of a ported sub, with the smaller footprint and natural sound of a sealed sub, MartinLogan’s Hybrid Woofer System allows Abyss models to offer the best of both worlds. Packing an incredible feature list and impressive power into a stylish, super-compact, room friendly design, Abyss subwoofers deliver performance completely unexpected from their size. With technologies including built-in wireless signal connection, anti-vibration feet, and easy to use app control, Abyss Series subwoofers not only look and sound incredible, but are extremely user friendly. Abyss subwoofers utilize a Hybrid Woofer System, which pairs two custom designed, aluminum passive radiators with its active aluminum woofer. This driver layout provides the increased output and lower distortion of a ported design, while maintaining the more compact sizing, and tighter bass typically associated with a sealed design. While much more difficult to design and engineer, this Hybrid system gives Abyss Series subwoofers the benefits of both sealed and ported designs all in one. Utilizing state-of-the-art Klippel analysis, these proprietary Aluminum drivers are specially engineered for high output and low distortion. Aluminum, chosen for its low weight, high strength, and excellent heat dissipation, is ideal for the big power and small size of Abyss Series subwoofers.

Good Clean Punchy Clear Strong Subwoofer
This sub sounds like a speaker and hits hard when you need it too. Clean bass. Not deep deep base, but clean bass that punches. Good for people who listen to quality, balanced music. Teenagers need not buy. Not a sub to let your neighbors know you’re listening to P-Diddy. paired it with my B&W towers.

The Mighty 10" That Could
I picked up the Martin Logan Dynamo 10 (DYN10SWD) a few weeks ago to continue completing our home theater setup. Prior to this purchase I had two Sonance 10" subwoofers that usually go on a great sale here on Best Buy and for the price I believe you will be hard pressed to find a better subwoofer however I was wanted a few things. - More power - Matching sub for the bed level speakers that would blend effortlessly Combined the Sonance subs were rated 575 watts (RMS) at 27hz for the low end although it always felt they dug slightly deeper than that...especially once the 2nd one was added. The single Dynamo 10 is rated at 500 watts (RMS) w/a slightly lower low end. Despite being a single sub replacing two it can hold its own well within our setup. Some of the key noticeable differences are: - Increased overall presence in the mid bass range...this is highly noticeable when listening to music. Instruments just seem to carry more weight and authority behind them that was not there before and seemingly blends with the Motion20 Towers. - While both the Sonance and Martin Logan are both sealed 10” subwoofers the Martin Logan is quick and precise. Maybe this is a combination of more power and a dedicated-on board DSP ensuring every note is delivered with precision. - Martin Logan Sub Control App is great and quick. It allows for changes on the fly that are near instant. No more going behind the subwoofer to make a slight adjust and returning to listening position to see the difference…just pull out your phone, open the app, and make your update. - ARC Room Correction for made a difference in the sound in our space. It couldn’t resolve a unique dead spot in our room, but it faired far better than xt32 could manage. Adding an additional unit would help resolve this because it was the same condition before when there was only a single Sonance subwoofer in the room Really looking forward to snagging the 2nd unit soon to help fill the void…but keep in mind that the results of this can vary depending on your room size shape. In the end the swap to the Dynamo 10 has opened my ears to what a great sub should sound like and for 10” subwoofer it is a powerhouse and full of features. Only Request: - ARC Room correction is a must but sadly it does not come with the MIC. This is highly recommended so if you purchase the sub I go ahead and order the ARC Calibration MIC also. The software thankfully is free and is compatible with MAC and PC. Via MAC you will only have to download the app and plug the mic into the USB port and the MAC will connect via Bluetooth to the subwoofer and allow for room correction parameters to be shared wirelessly so you are not tethered during the process…. Maybe Martin Logan or Best Buy can have a way for customer to bundle a MIC during the purchase.
