What Lyngdorf makes

Lyngdorf Audio offers electronics, speakers and subwoofers from one brand, so a whole system can be specified together, from a stereo in a living room to a dedicated home cinema.

• Electronics: integrated amplifiers such as the TDAI-1120, power amplifiers and audio/video processors, with RoomPerfect built into the amplifiers and processors.
• Living-room speakers: MH-2 and MH-3 compact speakers, the FR-2 floor-standing speaker, the LCR-2 on-wall speaker, Cue-100 and the SB-75 passive soundbar.
• In-cabinet speakers: CS-1 and CS-2 full-range loudspeakers, designed to be hidden inside furniture.
• In-wall and in-ceiling speakers: the D-500, D-5, D-60 and D-6 in-wall models, the D-5 IC N in-ceiling speaker and LS-1000 line-source speakers.
• Subwoofers: the BW-2 and BW-3 boundary woofers.

CS-1: a speaker made to disappear into furniture

The CS-1 is built horizontally rather than vertically, with a front-ported bass reflex and an elevated, angled tweeter. Lyngdorf says this placement reduces sound diffraction from furniture edges inside a cabinet and directs sound towards the listening area. It uses the same midrange/bass driver and tweeter as the FR-1, in a solid MDF cabinet with a matte-black lacquer, and comes without a front grille so it can sit behind the fabric doors of TV furniture.

• Design: 2-way, 1-inch textile soft-dome tweeter and 6.5-inch aluminium-cone midrange/bass driver.
• Performance: 42 Hz to 22 kHz (−3 dB), 4 ohm, 88 dB sensitivity, 100 W power handling.
• Size: W 42.0 × H 20.0 × D 29.5 cm, 7.9 kg, matte black.

BW-3: compact high-bandwidth subwoofer

The BW-3 driver reaches up to 800 Hz in bypass mode, where Lyngdorf notes traditional subwoofers are typically limited to 120 Hz. An 8-inch long-throw driver and a 400 W Class-D amplifier sit in a closed MDF cabinet of about 7 litres, which can stand upright or on its side to fit the space.

• Frequency response: 27–200 Hz on the line input, 27–800 Hz on the bypass input.
• Size: W 31.5 × H 23 × D 17.2 cm, 8.9 kg.
• Finishes: matte black with a black fabric cover or matte white with a grey cover; optional Gabriel fabric covers in black, grey, petrol blue, dusty green and red.

RoomPerfect room correction

RoomPerfect is Lyngdorf's speaker and room calibration, developed in Denmark and built into its amplifiers and processors with a matching microphone. Lyngdorf says it works in any room shape and with any speaker placement, which gives more freedom to place speakers and seating to suit the interior design while still addressing the room's acoustics.

Who Lyngdorf suits

Residential projects where sound should be heard and not seen: speakers hidden in joinery, compact subwoofers placed against walls or inside furniture, and media rooms or cinemas controlled through home automation systems such as Crestron, Control4 and Savant.
