The Dynaudio Emit M20 driver compliment is comprised of a 1.1" diameter soft dome tweeter and a 6.7" diameter MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) mid/bass driver, which are mated to a 1st order crossover featuring high-quality components throughout. The M20 features a linear impedance and high power handling capabilities, making integration into any system relatively easy. Dynamics are exceptional, and the combination of its precisely tuned bass reflex enclosure and the incredible performance capabilities of the Dynaudio mid/bass driver ensure the class-leading bass performance. A step up in performance from the smaller M10 model, the compact Dynaudio Emit M20 exhibits true high-end sound quality and exceptional value, proudly continuing the tradition of exceptional Dynaudio compact loudspeaker designs. "Attack and Explosiveness"In an October 18 2016 review, England's What Hi-Fi? magazine named the Dynaudio Emit M20 stand mount speaker as Product of the Year in the Stereo Speakers category. According to the What Hi-Fi? review of a pair of M20s, "They whisk through the song with attack and explosiveness, and even in the most complex, cacophonous moments find the discipline and rigour to pick out the multiple trails of thought – rhythmic drums, ambient guitar lines, cutting cymbals – without sidelining any element." Dyanuadio's Emit SeriesWho would’ve thought that ‘entry-level’ could be this good? Emit might be the introductory end of Dynaudio's range, but the company made zero compromises when it comes to sound quality. Dynaudio went above and beyond to make sure that every speaker in the Emit range can be easily paired with different amplifiers and AV receivers. They are designed to be easy to position in your room, and they can all be used as part of a stereo or surround-sound system. Make no mistake! Dynaudio poured just as much enthusiasm, knowhow, and innovation into its Emit range as it has into its ultra high-end Evidence loudspeakers. Dynaudio doesn't believe in cutting corners. Take a close look at a pair of Emit speakers and you’ll find the same materials in their drivers as you’ll find on every other model in Dynaudio's range. You get the same Magnesium Silicate Polymer for the mid/bass drivers (a material Dynaudio developed in-house in Dynaudio's Skanderborg factory), the same philosophy behind the precision-coated soft-dome tweeters, and the same lightweight aluminum voice-coils for greater precision, power-consistency and control. And they’ve been designed, engineered and tuned by the same people who’ve produced some of the most cutting-edge, high-end loudspeakers of the past 40 years. Dynaudio Emit M15 C Center Channel SpeakerThe Dynaudio Emit M15 C center channel loudspeaker offers a winning combination of high performance and compact dimensions. It is easy to position for best center channel sound, and it features the same advanced Dynaudio technologies incorporated into the other new Emit series models. Extremely refined multichannel systems can be configured from various combinations of Dynaudio Emit series models, which will deliver true high-end sound quality and which represent an impressive level of value in the price category. The Emit M15 C delivers a natural midrange character, exceptionally detailed and clear high frequency repro- duction, and incredibly low distortion (the same sonic characteristics of the other models in the new Emit series). Its driver compliment is comprised of a 1.1" soft dome tweeter and dual 4.3" MSP (magnesium silicate polymer) mid/bass drivers. The M15 C seamlessly integrates with any of the models in the Emit series to deliver a perfectly homogenous sound across all channels. The high-grade crossover components and 4-6 ohm linear impedance of the M15 C make it easy to drive for any amplifier or AV receiver. The Emit M15 C is supplied with a detachable metal plinth that facilitates angling the speaker’s dispersion upward or downward towards the listening area. Dynaudio Emit M10 Bookshelf SpeakerThe most compact member of Dynaudio's Emit speaker series is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms or anywhere where space is limited, such as on a bookshelf or small stand. Don’t go assuming that a compact speaker has small-scale sound. The M10’s 5.5" MSP mid/bass driver and 1.1" soft-dome tweeter team up with a first-order crossover and a forgiving linear 6 ohm impedance that lets them play nicely with pretty much any amp you plug them into. The tuned bass-reflex port and long-throw driver are optimized for smaller and mid-size rooms. Dynaudio's designers made sure that the Emit M10 still work shoved up against a wall or on a shelf, because they know not everyone has (or wants) a dedicated listening room. "A Wall-To-Wall Soundstage with Great Depth"When put to the test against its competition in 2016, the British magazine What Hi-Fi? awarded the M10 with no less than a five-star rating and Test Winner honors. "Versatility, transparency, energy, precision, scale and volume: you name it and the Emit 10s deliver in spades," raves What Hi-Fi? magazine, July 2016. "These are terrific all-rounders, and offer the sort of performance that we might expect from something much higher up the food chain." In his July 8, 2016 review for CNET.com, Steve Guttenberg reports, "The Emit M10s unfurled a wall-to-wall soundstage with great depth as I played Brian Eno's new album, The Ship. The first track is a rambling, ambient trip, with a churning low bass foundation that I could hardly believe was coming from speakers as small as these. I was so totally sucked into Eno's slow-motion vortex of sound and texture that I forgot that I was listening to the Emit M10s; I was lost in the music." MartinLogan Dynamo 800X Powered SubwooferMartinLogan's Dynamo 800X powered subwoofer features a 600-watt peak-power amplifier, 10-inch audiophile grade woofer, extensive input options, optional wireless connectivity, control via a Bluetooth app, Anthem Room Correction (ARC), and user-configurable front-firing or down-firing design. Dramatic bass detail and attack, superb extension, and room-shaking output ensure a compelling music and home theater experience. "MartinLogan's Dynamo 800X is the first subwoofer I've reviewed that combines digital control, signal connection, and room correction – all three wirelessly – in a small, powerful package," raves Larry Greenhill in Larry Greenhill in his February 2019 review for Stereophile. "I heard no difference between the wireless and wired connections," Larry Greenhill continues. "And, once I'd found good positions for the Dynamos, set their output level correctly, and identified their optimal crossover frequencies, their sound seamlessly blended with that of my Quad electrostatics, deepening the ESL-989's soundstages and deep-bass extension and expanding their dynamic range, and enhancing their three-dimensionality, all at a price far below that of larger subwoofers I've reviewed." "Virtually Invisible""For the price and feature set, the Dynamo 800X accomplishes exactly what it needs to do, and unlike other subwoofers, you can achieve its full potential without needing a high-end receiver that can handle room correction," notes Chris Heinenon, Reference Home Theater, October 2018. "With integrated Anthem Room Correction, you get a flat bass response in your room without much work, and the transition from the sub to the speakers is virtually invisible." Left and Right Two-Channel Inputs Plus LFEDynamo 800X features left and right input via RCA line level as well as speaker level connections. It also adds a discrete LFE RCA line level input. Simultaneous LFE and Two-Channel ConnectionsThe Dynamo 800X features left and right input via robust connections and a control system that allows simultaneous connection of both two-channel stereo music and multi-channel home theater and allows each source to have individual crossover and level settings, giving listeners a perfect performance in every application. LFE inputs use no low-pass filter, leaving crossover control to the processor. Left and right inputs integrate discrete user-adjustable low-pass filters, allowing different level and crossover points when playing back two channel music. MartinLogan Sub Control AppMartinLogan's Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android uses a Bluetooth connection to simplify setup and configuration of the Dynamo 800X. App based controls include volume level, low-pass filter (frequency and order), phase, 20–30Hz level, three preset listening modes, and control of Anthem Room Correction. A unique tone sweep feature assists users in locating areas in listening rooms where troublesome rattles or resonances may occur. A single press of a button allows listeners to initiate a tone sweep from 20–120Hz. If a rattle or resonance occurs in the room any frequency can be held, allowing the listener to investigate and identify the source of the unwanted noise. Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Mobile AppIn the lab, MartinLogan engineers strive for transparency. Outside the lab, there's one wildcard its engineers can never account for—the listening room. The unique size and shape of a listening space (and its contents) can make bass waves do unpredictable things, greatly affecting a subwoofer's overall performance. The Anthem Room Correction app for iOS and Android measures low-frequency sound output in a room and compares it to optimal response curves that account for spatial anomalies. The advanced algorithms of Anthem Room Correction effectively remove anomalies, leaving only the ideal standard— realistically blended, natural-sounding bass. Dynamo 800X utilizes a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone or USB connection with a PC to run Anthem Room Correction. Optional SWT-X Wireless InputAlthough correct placement plays a key role in optimizing subwoofer performance, sometimes it imposes the inconvenience of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets. To solve the problem, Dynamo 800X includes a connection port for an optional wireless system. MartinLogan's new SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer System (sold separately) incorporates the latest in wireless audio transmission technology, including 2.4GHz dynamic frequency selection, forward error correction, and a range up to 50 feet. Easy to install in the subwoofer, the SWT-X receiver requires no external power source or audio connections. Unique Front-Firing or Down-Firing DesignWhen placed in a cabinet or other discreet location, the Dynamo 800X subwoofer can easily convert from standard down-firing to front-firing orientation, with no tools or special skills required. A grille is provided for use in front-firing applications. Powerful, High-Excursion, Low-Turbulence, Inverted Surround WoofersThe latest generation of MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofers feature advanced-design woofers with inverted surrounds and powerful magnet, motor, and suspension designs. In front-fire mode the unique inverted surround design maximizes excursion clearance behind the grill cover. When positioned in a down-firing configuration, the inverted surround significantly reduces airflow related turbulence for an articulate and detailed low-frequency experience. These advanced-technology woofers pair a high-power magnet structure (significantly more robust than previous generations) with low-mass diaphragms to provide massive excursions while perfectly preserving the tiniest bass detail. The exceptional damping properties of the cone ensure a smooth, non-resonant response necessary for truly seamless blending with high-performance loudspeakers. Every element of Dynamo subwoofers has been meticulously designed to deliver a staggering low-frequency performance – all without a hint of distortion. Advanced Ultra-Efficient Switch Mode Power Supplies and Class-D AmplifiersDynamo subwoofer class-D amplifiers operate with extremely low levels of distortion and deliver dynamic impact with plenty of overhead. Low- noise, high-power switching power supplies produce clean power efficiently in a small space and effortlessly provide tremendous levels of current. Both feature high-quality MOSFET transistors, transformers, noise-suppression networks, and control circuitry. The switching power supply combined with reliable class-D technology means there's virtually no energy lost in the subwoofer system. Inverse Mathematical Equalization (IME) FilterThe IME filter used in the Dynamo subwoofers is derived from the inverse of the unfiltered driver response. Precision IME filtering yields extremely accurate low-frequency response—superior to that provided by the simple second-order high-Q filters typically found in subwoofers in this price range. Sealed Cabinet with Extensive Internal BracingAlthough ports, when correctly designed, are a convenient and cost-effective way of increasing low-frequency output, when used in small cabinets their reliance on resonant energy can impair bass quality. Dynamo 800X is a compact, sealed subwoofer system that minimizes transient-blurring group delay while maintaining smooth, consistent response, regardless of music or movie source material. The cabinet is constructed from the finest composite material for acoustic integrity. Inside, critically placed structural cross-bracing provides a stable foundation for the woofer, while the added rigidity keeps cabinet-induced resonances and non-linearities to inaudible levels. Built-In ETC™ (Energy Transfer Coupler) SpikesDynamo 800X comes with custom ETC spikes which can be used to enhance stability on thick carpets, or create tighter coupling between subwoofer and floor to enhance overall sound quality. The built-in spikes are conveniently and discretely hidden underneath the rubber feet. Kimber Kable KWIK-16Dual-gauge configuration KWIK-16 from Kimber Kable boasts a large-gauge conductor and a small-gauge conductor for each channel, for four spiraled conductors in all. This unique 16-awg strand design, along with Kimber Kable's special-recipe dielectric, adds up to one of the best sounding bulk cables for home theater and distributed sound you're ever likely to hear. The slippery PVC outer jacket pulls easily through walls. Package Includes
