“We went back to the drawing board with LYD. We looked at everything that made our monitors great in the past, but also, at what we can achieve with the new platforms we have developed over recent years. In the end, we want to give all artists and engineers the best possible tool to help them achieve their best results – to redefine their music as we have redefined our monitors – and I believe LYD delivers exactly that,” says Sebastian Rodens, Product Manager at Dynaudio.
Since the dawn of Dynaudio, craftsmanship has been an integral part of our legacy, and while LYD is a redefinition of our previous monitors, we have not disowned this characterizing trade. The 28 mm Soft Dome tweeter and three differently-sized MSP drive units – depending on model - used for LYD are still handcrafted in our Danish factory near Skanderborg.
Each handmade drive unit is well-cared for: fuelled individually by state-of-the-art Class-D amplifiers featuring 96kHz / 24-bit signal paths that make sure they have enough power to reproduce sound faithfully.
With our extensive research and know-how, we wanted to offer choices and opportunities for musicians, producers, and artists; options that enabled them to mix and edit their music with precision. To do so, we included an advanced DSP with two tuning presets for different setups, Sound Balance filters for adjusting the frequency response, and Bass Extension for moving the bass cut-off to the preferred position.
Ole Jensen, VP of Sales – Professional Audio comments: “We are very excited to launch our new range of studio monitors. LYD introduces some of our latest developments such as a new amplifier design – in a new and refreshing color scheme. When we revealed LYD to our sales channel, we got overwhelming feedback. Everyone at Dynaudio is looking forward to bringing these speakers to the market, and launching them at Frankfurt Musikmesse is the first step. You can see it at our booth in HALL 9.1-A43 and listen for yourself.”
