Leaning in on architectural loudspeakers developed for the integrator channel, Lyngdorf Audio launches the D-6, a two-way in-wall speaker, and the DW-10, a high-performance shallow in-wall woofer. Debuting at ISE 2025 in Barcelona, the company notes that D stands for Discreet and falls within the Danish company’s custom installation speaker series, which Lyngdorf suggests makes for a good alternative to stand-mounted or bookshelf speakers.
The successful Discreet series is continuously growing and now consists of nine models: D-500, D-500 Center, D-5, D-5 IC, D-6, D-60, and D-60 C, rounded out with two in-wall woofers, DW-1 and DW-10.
The new Lyngdorf D-6 is billed as a space-saving 2-way in-wall speaker with a “coherent sound balance and well-integrated bass,” the company asserts.
It has a rectangular upright design, and compared with other Lyngdorf in-wall speakers has a lighter, lower profile construction with no pre-mounted MDF enclosure, suitable for lighter walls or limited cavity space.
The D-6 offers a very high sound quality by using high-quality drive-units – a 6.5-inch aluminum midrange/woofer and the soft dome tweeter – mounted on a low-resonance dense MDF baffle, according to the company.
Lightapalooza took place in late February, and the growth of the event has mirrored the rapid ascension lighting fixtures and controls.
“With a sensitivity of 89 dB and a nominal impedance of 6 ohm the D-6 is very easy to drive for any amplifier. It also allows a high SPL and has a high long-term power handling, making the D-6 suitable as front speakers for 2-channel stereo systems, as well as high-performance surround speakers in cinema rooms,” Lyngdorf states.
The new Lyngdorf DW-10 is a high-performance in-wall woofer specifically made for custom installations that require the shallowest woofer solution yet with the best possible bass performance.
The DW-10 adds to the DW-1 introduced last year. The rigid and sealed enclosure of the DW-1 perfectly fits 4-inch cavity walls, while the new DW-10 enclosure is slightly deeper and utilizes two of the woofer drivers, fitting 6-inch cavity walls.
The extended height provides the large inner cabinet volume required for big bass extension from such a slim enclosure. Lyngdorf says the DW-1 and DW-10 are ideal woofer solutions for media rooms with entirely installed in-wall speaker systems; rooms with free-standing speakers where the woofers should be hidden; or media rooms and home cinemas with no space for placing subwoofers in the room.
The DW-10 utilizes two patented high-excursion shallow woofers, customized for Lyngdorf Audio and based on an innovative voice-coil/cone geometry and suspension which allows the highest excursion from the most space-saving construction, the company explains.
A four-layer voice coil, an ultra-rigid dual aluminum cone, a powerful neodymium magnet, and a rigid cast basket boost bass performance, achieving a high output level and low reach. The high-bandwidth design ensures an accurate, fast response and allows the most seamless sound integration with the main speakers, according to the company.
Lyngdorf anticipates the D-6 and DW-10 will be available in Q1 2025.
