Connections and Control Settings
Before Connecting the Dynamo
MartinLogan's engineering and design team developed the Dynamo 1000 for easy setup and system integra- tion. Before beginning to connect your Dynamo 1000, please review the controls discussed in the last section. An understanding of these will help speed you along as you connect and integrate your Dynamo 1000 with your system. All signal connections are done on the rear con- nections panel of the Dynamo 1000. Make certain that all of your connections are tight.
WARNING! Turn your Dynamo 1000 subwoofer to 'Off' before making or breaking any signal connections!

Signal Connection (see figure 2):
1Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to the left and right inputs of the Dynamo 1000 using quality RCA interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set of outputs you may need to obtain Y adapters from your dealer.
Recommended Control Settings (see figure 3):
1Set the crossover switch to 'Variable (L&R In)'.
2Set the 'Low Pass Filter' knob to approximately 70% of your loudspeakers lowest frequency response.
3While playing music with bass content, turn the level control up until the music has deep extended bass, being careful to avoid levels that become overwhelming.
4Try 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°.
