Know before you buy
The sealed design of the Dynamo 10 focuses on accuracy and tightness rather than raw, boomy output. It delivers a more controlled, musical bass response that is ideal for both high-fidelity music listening and detailed home theater experiences.
Yes, the Dynamo 10 features a built-in wireless receiver, which allows you to place the subwoofer anywhere in the room without running long cables back to your receiver. You will just need to ensure you have a compatible wireless transmitter connected to your audio source.
These feet are designed to decouple the subwoofer from your floor. By minimizing the transfer of vibrations, they prevent unwanted rattles and buzzes in your room, resulting in cleaner, more precise bass output.
The three DSP modes allow you to tailor the output to your environment. 'Movies' maximizes impact for action sequences, 'Music' provides a balanced and natural response, and 'Night' compresses the dynamic range to keep loud peaks from disturbing others in the house.
While you can use the subwoofer without the app, it is highly recommended for the best experience. The app provides convenient, real-time control over volume, phase, and DSP modes directly from your smartphone, which is much easier than reaching behind the unit to adjust physical knobs.
Absolutely. While it is designed to complement MartinLogan speakers, its versatile connectivity options—including LFE, stereo RCA, and speaker-level inputs—make it compatible with almost any home theater or stereo system.
