Why Steinway & Lyngdorf?
One of the key pieces that makes Steinway Lyngdorf so accomplished is their ‘Room Perfect’ room correction technology. Compensating for the layout and furnishings you have in your room (which reflect, absorb, detract and enhance different sounds), means the resulting sound that reaches your ears has perfect balance both for the left and right ears, and tonally from bass to treble. Of course, you can further tweak this to your own aural preferences, but the baseline created by Steinway Lyngdorf’s Room Perfect is the best we’ve heard. Indeed, hearing music for the first time through Steinway Lyngdorf’s speakers is a revelation for everyone - and you really must hear it. The best way is to experience the Steinway Lyngdorf demonstration facility; but we can also arrange home demos following an initial visit.

Lyngdorf audio - the foundation
Perfect sound through RoomPerfect™
One of the world’s most sophisticated solutions for adapting the sound system to the room.
Most high-end products are developed in sonically-ideal listening rooms with optimized dimensions and acoustic treatments. However, in reality, sound systems are installed in authentic living spaces, not sound labs. Your sound system should be perfect in your environment—and we can promise it will be. RoomPerfect™, developed by Peter Lyngdorf, is the end product of more than two decades of pioneering audio research and development. It is an intelligent system, which not only identifies the characteristics of the sound of your speakers but also requires specific measurements of your room acoustics. It then applies corrections to the signal over a twenty-minute process that leaves you with sound that’s perfectly adapted for the shape, size, and acoustic properties of your room.
Fully Digital Amplification
In close collaboration with some of the finest minds working in the field of digital technology, Steinway Lyngdorf has developed and advanced High End digital amplification over the past two decades. The speed, precision and incredible dynamic range of this proprietary technology took the world by storm when it was introduced in 1996, creating a musical experience against a background of completely “black” silence to enhance the finest musical details.
As conventionally defined, the Lyngdorf TDAI product range does not amplify at all. They are digital-to-analog converters with sufficient power (current and voltage) to drive speakers directly, eliminating hundreds of active and passive components, which are a major source of noise and distortion.
Bass Management
Taking the art and science of bass management to new levels
Successful bass management forms an integral part of every Steinway Lyngdorf system. This involves routing and mixing bass information optimally for a seamless integration between main speakers and woofer(s) for the best possible bass response.
Redirecting bass content between different channels and speakers is a challenge because different speakers often have very different couplings to the so-called sound field in the room. In traditional bass management systems, this often results in significant level imbalances, which in turn results in an unnatural timbre and tonal balance. Bass management issues become even more complex as channels increase and expand from stereo to surround and immersive systems. This is where RoomPerfect™ is the ideal companion for optimal bass management. RoomPerfect™ ensures similar coupling to the sound field for all channels and speakers. The combination of the RoomPerfect™ filters, flexible crossover filters, and signal paths forms the unique DSP architecture of the Steinway Lyngdorf bass management system.
Boundary Woofers
For the optimal coupling to the room.
The basic principles underlying Steinway Lyngdorf boundary woofers demanded a fundamental re-thinking of the overall concept of high fidelity bass reproduction. Conventional subwoofers are designed to generate maximum output below 100 Hz. To do so, they typically incorporate very big drive units in large enclosures that are incompatible with convenient, room-friendly installation.
Steinway Lyngdorf developed innovative boundary woofers more than twenty years ago for use in the finest music systems where speed and musical timing are main priorities. The drive units are designed to start and stop as quickly as possible. Generating massive bass output is not really hard work, the true challenge lies in making it precise and tight – not boomy.
In a Steinway Lyngdorf system employing boundary woofers, you will experience a quality of bass as never heard before from regular subs or speakers.
