Magnitude^® MT-1.6kW Amplifier

Keeping Dynamo 12’s woofer fed with as much power as it can take advantage of is no easy task. Stepping up to the plate is MartinLogan’s Magnitude MT-1.6kW amplifier. Delivering up to 1600W peak (800W RMS) of clean power, ensures remarkable impact and seamless musicality at all volume levels. MartinLogan’s Magnitude amplifiers are designed to deliver their power reserves with ultra-low distortion to ensure maximum fidelity along with high output capability. MT-1.6kW maintains exceptional control over Dynamo 12’s woofer, guaranteeing precise, and powerful bass exactly when you want it.

Advanced Vojtko DSP Engine:
Elevating Subwoofer Performance

Dynamo subwoofers utilize the cutting-edge, ultra-high-resolution Vojtko DSP engine, named after MartinLogan’s Chief Audio Technologist. Featuring a best-in-class 500MHz DSP with 64-bit processing, the Vojtko DSP engine is the maestro that commands all aspects of subwoofer performance in real-time. This level of computing power allows MartinLogan engineers to fine-tune performance for maximum output and fidelity with complete audible transparency as well as enabling advanced features like wireless app control, integrated wireless signal connection, and other advanced DSP functions. Thanks to the computational power of this sophisticated DSP engine, Dynamo subwoofers are also compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) system.

Robust Connectivity

In addition to the built-in wireless connection option, Dynamo 10 offers incredible wired installation flexibility. With both RCA and XLR LFE inputs, Stereo RCA inputs, Speaker Level inputs, and Sub Out connections, Dynamo 10 can be easily integrated into even the most complex systems. Simultaneous connections are also supported.
