Know before you buy
Yes. The subwoofer features speaker-level inputs, allowing you to connect it directly to your amplifier’s speaker terminals if a dedicated LFE or RCA subwoofer output is unavailable.
The app connects via Bluetooth to let you adjust volume, low-pass filters, and phase settings from your listening position. It also integrates Anthem Room Correction (ARC), which uses your smartphone's microphone to calibrate the bass response to your specific room acoustics.
The inverted surround design helps reduce air turbulence and mechanical noise during high-excursion movements. This results in cleaner, more articulate bass that remains precise even when the volume is pushed.
The Dynamo 600X is designed to handle both effectively. Its Class-D amplifier and high-power magnet structure provide the dynamic impact needed for home theater, while the Inverse Mathematical Equalization (IME) filter ensures the accuracy and detail required for high-fidelity music playback.
Yes, the unit includes an auto-on feature that detects an incoming audio signal and powers the amplifier up, then puts it into standby mode after a period of inactivity to save energy.
