MartinLogan Dynamo 1600X Powered Subwoofer - Black
Dramatic Bass Detail, Extension, And Room-Shaking Output
MartinLogan's Dynamo 1600X powered subwoofer features a 1,800-watt peak-power amplifier, 15-inch audiophile grade woofer, extensive input options, optional wireless connectivity, control via a Bluetooth app, Anthem Room Correction (ARC), and user-configurable front- or down-firing design. Dramatic bass detail and attack, superb extension, and room-shaking output ensure a compelling music and home theater experience.
Left And Right Two-Channel Inputs
Dynamo 1600X features left and right input via RCA line level as well as speaker level connections. Dynamo 1600X adds both XLR and RCA inputs for the LFE connection.
Unique Front-Firing Or Down-Firing Design
When placed in a cabinet or other discreet location, Dynamo 1600X can easily convert from standard down-firing to front-firing orientation, with no tools or special skills required. A grille is provided for use in front-firing applications.
Simultaneous LFE And Two-Channel Connections
Dynamo 1600X has left and right inputs via robust connection and a control system that allows simultaneous connection of both 2-channel stereo music and multi-channel home theater and allows each source to have individual crossover and level settings, giving listeners a perfect performance in every application. LFE inputs use no low-pass filter, leaving crossover control to the processor. Left and right inputs integrate discrete user-adjustable low-pass filters allowing different level and crossover points when playing back two channel music.
Built-In ETC (Energy Transfer Coupler) Spikes
Dynamo 1600X comes with custom ETC spikes which can be used to enhance stability on thick carpets, or create tighter coupling between subwoofer and floor to enhance overall sound quality. The built-in spikes are conveniently and discretely hidden underneath the rubber feet.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Mobile App
The Anthem Room Correction app for iOS and Android measures low-frequency sound output in a room and compares it to optimal response curves that account for spatial anomalies. The advanced algorithms of Anthem Room Correction effectively remove anomalies, leaving only the ideal standard— realistically blended, natural-sounding bass. Dynamo 1600X utilizes a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone or USB connection with a PC to run Anthem Room Correction.
Advanced Ultra-Efficient Switch Mode Power Supplies And Class-D Amplifiers
Dynamo subwoofer class-D amplifiers operate with extremely low levels of distortion and deliver dynamic impact with plenty of overhead. Low- noise, high-power switching power supplies produce clean power efficiently in a small space and effortlessly provide tremendous levels of current. Both feature high-quality MOSFET transistors, transformers, noise-suppression networks, and control circuitry.
Optional SWT-X Wireless Input
MartinLogan’s new SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer System (sold separately) incorporates the latest in wireless audio transmission technology, including 2.4GHz dynamic frequency selection, forward error correction, and a range up to 50 feet. Easy to install in the subwoofer, the SWT-X receiver requires no external power source or audio connections.
Powerful, High-Excursion, Low-Turbulence, Inverted Surround Woofers
The latest generation of MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofers feature advanced-design woofers with inverted surrounds and powerful magnet, motor, and suspension designs. In front-fire mode the unique inverted surround design maximizes excursion clearance behind the grill cover. When positioned in a down-firing configuration, the inverted surround significantly reduces airflow related turbulence for an articulate and detailed low-frequency experience.

Sealed Cabinet With Extensive Internal Bracing
Although ports, when correctly designed, are a convenient and cost-effective way of increasing low-frequency output, when used in small cabinets their reliance on resonant energy can impair bass quality. Dynamo 1600X is a compact, sealed subwoofer system that minimizes transient-blurring group delay while maintaining smooth, consistent response, regardless of music or movie source material. The cabinet is constructed from the finest composite material for acoustic integrity. Inside, critically placed structural cross-bracing provides a stable foundation for the woofer, while the added rigidity keeps cabinet-induced resonances and non-linearities to inaudible levels.

I use the ML subwoofer just for 2 channel computer audio with Peachtree Nova 500 and a pair of PSB Imagine 2 Tower speakers. I have Audirvana music player and stream Tidal and Qubuz high resolution music. I also have a Rega turntable and phono preamp. Bass is clean and tight with no rumbling. The best bass is with Jazz but it also gives more depth to symphonic music. The mobile app is easy to use and controls the bass parameters. I used Audioquest Black Lab subwoofer cables.

Did NOT buy this item from Amazon but from a local retailer. Actually, this $1999 is (I believe) above retail. But anyway... I have two of these along with Martin Logan ESLXes, an ESL-C center and M/L Aeons for surround (5.2) AVR is an Anthem MRX 720. Mainly got these subs due to audio pro's recommendation (didn't buy from them) and more importantly, their support of Anthem ARC room correction. EQing each sub is easy with the Windows 10 app and optional bass management kit. Bass is deep and low in our 14X19 room. In fact, having 15 inch subs takes some getting used to. Before owning these (previously owned an SVS SB 2 NSD and an M/L Dynamo 700) I never realized live albums had so much bass in them. The sound is low, accurate and unforced. There perhaps don't go as low as the top end SVS models (by 4 hz, maybe). Overall, I think they're more musical and accurate. Love 'em!
