Out of The Box – Lyngdorf Audio

Our ‘Out of the Box’ Series features companies who might slip through the net from time to time. Companies with something more than hot air, who make loudspeakers but make them with a rare passion that drives them and shapes the products they design and build.

When did you start the company?

Lyngdorf Audio was founded 2005 in Denmark and initially started with its DNA products, fully digital amplifiers
and a digital room calibration
named RoomPerfect. The first loudspeakers followed soon after and included a very unusual open dipole speaker. Today, we also have multichannel processors, power amplifiers and installation speakers for home cinemas. On top of that we have a long-standing collaboration with the piano manufacturer Steinway & Sons to create extraordinary loudspeakers and complete audio systems of the highest quality. 

Is making a loudspeaker an ‘art’ or a ‘science’?

Technically it is mostly science and measurements, but then every loudspeaker from every manufacturer would be very similar. Loudspeakers are much more interesting than that, so it also involves some creative thinking, literally out of the box, both acoustically as well as aesthetically. 

What makes your loudspeakers different to other brands?

Maybe typical for a Danish brand, we first think of living rooms when we think about loudspeakers. How and where would people place the speakers? Most people don’t live in an anechoic chamber! With many of our speakers and woofers we follow an acoustic idea that works with the room, not against it. 

What challenges do you face in making and selling loudspeakers?

Loudspeakers are often chosen by size, paper specs, and price points. However, once placed in someone’s home, what really matters evening after evening is the music performance and the aesthetics. This means loudspeakers need to be experienced, and work well in real rooms. 

Where do you hope the company will be in five or ten years?

Modern homes and rooms become less acoustically ideal, and today people also want to hide tech or integrate it in a smarter way. Lyngdorf Audio can lead this way with its advanced RoomPerfect room calibration, digital amplifiers with integrated streaming and sound customisation, and extraordinary loudspeakers. We have also developed several installation speakers to complement our benchmark-setting Lyngdorf AV processors, and every year we see more and more fascinating multichannel projects – not only for movies, but also for immersive Pure Audio or Dolby Atmos Music experiences. 

Where can consumers hear about your products and find out more?

We have dedicated Lyngdorf Audio retailers where a product demo can be arranged, but also our Lyngdorf Audio website shows some inspiring cases and rooms.  Of course there’s also our Find a Dealer page.
