Lyngdorf Audio, known for its digital amplifiers and RoomPerfect calibration, has launched a new floor standing loudspeaker for placement against the wall.
The 18th model in Lyngdorf’s current speaker and woofer portfolio, the new FR-2 has been tuned for sound performance close to a wall and showcases the company’s new in-house cabinet production and lacquering based in Denmark. FR stands for Full Range, and the FR-2 is the second full-range on-wall speaker model following the FR-1. The speaker premieres at the Audio Video Show 2024 in Warsaw, Poland this month before starting production in November at Lyngdorf Audio in Skive, Denmark.
The FR-2’s drive units are integrated into a shallow speaker design that corresponds with room acoustics instead of working against them. The woofers are located as close as possible to the wall behind the speaker, delivering impulse response in the low frequencies for tight and powerful bass.
The FR-2’s two 6.5’ woofers are equipped with a vented die-cast basket, large magnet and light aluminium cone, paired with a magnet in the soft-dome tweeter. This provides efficiency and a high maximum volume level while keeping distortion low. The linear impedance (around 4 ohm) allows any amplifier to deliver high performance, while the bass reflex port is placed downward to remain hidden from view and keep an optimum distance to the floor boundary and wall corner.
The speaker is unusually shallow, complete with rounded edges and two optional exchangeable fabric covers from Danish specialist Gabriel. The speaker can either stand on the floor or use the optional wall mount.
Anker Haldan, CCO of Lyngdorf Audio, said: “With the Lyngdorf FR-2, we expand our portfolio of floor standing speakers.
“Last year, we introduced the Cue-100, with no compromises in design or technology. Now we elevate the on-wall concept to a floor standing Lyngdorf product. We know this concept well from our Steinway & Sons range, and we are confident that our sales channels and customers will embrace this solution for its acoustic advantages and space saving room placement benefits.
