MartinLogan Dynamo [8/24] Channel multi channel mode

Using an A/V processor and the Dynamo’s low pass filters.

This setup is recommended if your Dynamo will be used

in both 2-channel mode and as a LFE (0.1) channel in

a multi-channel mode. By following this setup, you will

allow your processor to handle most of the bass manage

ment while running in multi-channel mode, and relinquish

control of the low pass filter to the Dynamo when running

in a 2-channel mode.

Signal Connection (see figure 6):

1 Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to

the left and right inputs of the Dynamo using quality RCA

interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set of

outputs you need to obtain Y adapters from your dealer.

2 Connect the LFE/0.1 output of the processor to the LFE

input of the subwoofer using quality RCA interconnects.

Recommended Control Settings (see figure 7):

1 Set your front speakers for wide, large or full mode in your

processor. Set the center and effects type speakers in

limited or narrow mode (see the warning on page 7).

Set the low-pass filter switch to the closest option equal

70% of your loudspeakers lowest frequency response.

3 While playing music with bass content, turn the level control

up until the music has deep bass that is not overwhelming.

4 Try the phase control in different settings until the best

blending is obtained. If you are augmenting MartinLogan

loudspeakers, we suggest you start with the phase set

at 90°.

5 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

processor’s manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.

6 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.
