Signal Connection (see figure 5):

1Connect the LFE output of the processor to the LFE input using a quality RCA interconnect.

WARNING!

Based on the performance of most proces- sors, it is recommended that MartinLogan center and effects type speakers not be run in large, wide, or full range mode. Doing so may potentially damage the speaker if the processor attempts to drive the speaker beyond its rated frequency range. This warning also applies to products from other manufacturers.

It is recommended to run center and effects type speakers in limited or narrow mode. Some processors have an option to route the LFE channel to your main and/or surround speakers. We recommend that you do not use this option.

Recommended Control Settings (see figure 6):

1 Set the 'Low Pass Filter' knob to 150 Hz.

2Use 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 manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.

3If 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.

4Adjust the phase control until ideal blending is obtained. If you hear no discernible difference leave the phase at 0°.

5Follow the instructions in your processor manual to fine- tune the subwoofer level

AC Power Connection

WARNING! The power cord should not be installed, removed, or left detached from the subwoofer while the other end is con- nected to an AC power source.

The IEC cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the subwoofer, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. Directly adjacent to the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the subwoofer is a master power switch. This switch is wired directly to the AC main and turns on/off all power going to the subwoofer. The Dynamo 300 also integrates a signal sensing power supply that will go to Standby mode after a few minutes of no music signal if the front- panel power switch is set to 'Auto'.

Your subwoofer is wired for the power service supplied in the country of original consumer sale. The AC power rat- ing applicable to a particular unit is specified both on the packing carton and on the serial number plate attached to the subwoofer.

If you remove your subwoofer from the country of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent location is suitable before connecting and operating the subwoofer. Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may occur to the subwoofer if operation is attempt- ed from an incorrect AC power source.

Break-In

Our custom made woofers require approximately 50 hours of break-in at moderate listening levels before their optimal performance occurs. This will factor in on any critical listening and judgment.

300 specifications

The MartinLogan 300 is a high-performance electrostatic speaker that represents a remarkable fusion of innovative technology and sonic excellence. Designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike, the 300 combines MartinLogan's signature electrostatic driver technology with advanced materials and engineering to create an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the MartinLogan 300 is its electrostatic driver system. This technology utilizes a lightweight, electrically charged diaphragm suspended between two stators. When an audio signal is applied, the diaphragm moves rapidly, producing sound with astonishing clarity and precision. The result is a speaker that reproduces high frequencies with minimal distortion, allowing listeners to experience music as the artist intended.

In addition to its electrostatic technology, the MartinLogan 300 includes a sophisticated bass port design. This integration of a 10-inch, high excursion aluminum cone woofer works seamlessly with the electrostatic panel to deliver a full-range sound experience. The woofer boasts a powerful neodymium magnet structure, ensuring responsive and dynamic bass reproduction that complements the crystal-clear highs of the electrostatic driver.

The build quality of the MartinLogan 300 is equally impressive. The cabinet is constructed from high-density MDF, which minimizes resonance and cabinet coloration. The sleek design features an elegant wood veneer finish that adds a touch of sophistication to any listening space. Additionally, the removable grille can be attached or detached easily, giving users the option to showcase the stunning technology within while maintaining a streamlined appearance.

Another notable characteristic is the speaker's wide dispersion pattern. Thanks to its unique electrostatic design, the MartinLogan 300 creates a broad soundstage that immerses listeners in a lifelike sound experience. Whether placed in a small room or a large auditorium, these speakers can fill the space with engaging and detailed sound.

In summary, the MartinLogan 300 delivers outstanding performance through its advanced electrostatic technology, premium woofer, high-quality construction, and wide dispersion characteristics. This speaker is not just an audio device; it's a gateway to an unparalleled musical experience that brings every nuance of sound to life, making it a worthy investment for those serious about their audio systems. With its blend of stylish design and exceptional performance, the MartinLogan 300 stands out as a leading choice for discerning listeners seeking the ultimate in sound reproduction.
