The new LYD series is said to have been designed for low volume precision, making it useful for editing and mixing in whatever room you prefer and without breaking the sound barrier. True to the brand’s roots and tradition, the 28 mm Soft Dome tweeter and the three, depending on the model, differently-sized MSP drive units used for LYD are still handcrafted in the Danish factory near Skanderborg. Each handmade drive unit is said to be fuelled individually by Bi-Amped Class-D amplifiers featuring 96kHz/24-bit signal paths that make sure they have plenty of power to reproduce sound faithfully.
Availability is announced for late May or early June. More details at www.dynaudio.com, or at the brand’s booth at the Musikmesse – A43, in HALL 9.1.
