About the MartinLogan Dynamo 12 Subwoofer

At Rapallo, we think the MartinLogan Dynamo 12 Subwoofer is an outstanding choice for customers who want serious bass performance without moving into oversized subwoofers.

The Dynamo 12 delivers a fantastic balance between power and musicality. With its 12-inch aluminium driver and high-output amplifier, it provides deep, impactful bass for movies while still maintaining the control and accuracy needed for music listening. It integrates cleanly with both bookshelf and floorstanding speakers, making it a very versatile option.

Another key strength is its feature set. With built-in wireless capability, app control and ARC compatibility, it’s easy to position, tune and optimise for your room. For customers wanting a premium subwoofer that is powerful, flexible and easy to integrate, the Dynamo 12 is a superb option.
