Placement

Listening Position

Generally, subwoofers have the most output when placed in the corner of a room. However, this can also exagger- ate the subwoofers output making blending difficult. We recommend starting by placing the Dynamo 1000 in a corner. If, after the full range of tuning techniques have been employed, the subwoofer sounds like it has too much upper bass energy try pulling it away from the wall, toward the listening position. This will lessen the reinforcement of these problematic frequencies from the wall and likely smooth out the response. Repeat the tuning techniques with the woofer controls after you move it (see figure 7).

Ask Your Dealer

Your MartinLogan dealer can suggest many options for optimal subwoofer placement. They also have many tools at their disposal, such as experience, familiarity with the associated equipment, and even sound analysis equipment which may make the task of determining optimal subwoofer placement easier.

Enjoy Yourself

The Dynamo 1000 is a very refined subwoofer and will benefit from care in setup. With the above placement tips in mind you will find, over months of listening, that small changes can result in measurable differences. As you live with your subwoofer, do not be afraid to experiment with positioning until you find the optimal relationship between your room, settings and subwoofer that gives you the best results. Your efforts will be rewarded.

Installing in a Cabinet

When placing the Dynamo 1000 inside of a cabinet it is recommended that there be a minimum of three inches of open space between the cabinet and the front and back sides (see figure 8).
