FAQ and Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my subwoofer?
Use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to clean your subwoofer. We recommend a specialty cloth (available through the Xtatic shop at www.martinlogan.com) that cleans better than anything else we have tried.
Is it safe to set things on my subwoofer?
While your Dynamo 300 is designed with a durable, stain- resistant surface, we advise you not to set anything on your Dynamo
Is there likely to be any interaction between my subwoofer and the television in my Audio/ Video system?
Yes. The Dynamo 300 subwoofer doesn’t use a shielded driver. We recommend 3 feet between the Dynamo 300 subwoofer and video components that are susceptible to magnetic fields.
Will my electric bill go 'sky high' by leaving my subwoofer plugged in all the time?
No. The Dynamo 300, when the power switch is set to ‘Auto On’, will draw about 7 watts when idle and only 7 watts in standby mode.
Should I unplug my subwoofer during a thun- derstorm?
Yes, or before. It's a good idea to disconnect all of your audio/video components during stormy weather.

Muddy Bass

Hums or Unusual Sounds
•Turn the Dynamo 300 off, unplug all signal inputs, turn the Dynamo 300 back on and turn up the level. If the problem disappears, the hum is originating elsewhere in your system.
