Lyngdorf LS-1000 2-way line source Speaker (Center)

Description

LS-1000 (PRICE PER SPEAKER – ADD UP TO QUANITY 4 TO CREATE A LINE SOURCE SPEAKER)

With our experience in creating speakers for Steinway Lyngdorf reference home theaters, especially the outstanding Steinway & Sons LS models, combined with our experience from the Lyngdorf MH and FR speakers, our engineers have developed the LS-1000 for Lyngdorf Audio systems. Four LS-1000 modules combined create a line source speaker, with each module consisting of four 115mm midrange drivers with light aluminum cones, 25mm voice coils and powerful vented magnets, complemented by eight 1” soft dome tweeters. Four LS-1000 modules combined result in a line array with 16 midrange drivers and 32 tweeters.

Depending on the room width, seat layout, speaker position and screen size, three different LS-1000 models have been designed for the best sound dispersion into the room:

The Lyngdorf LS-1000 Center has the tweeters mounted centered, leading to a wider sound dispersion equal to the left and right. This makes it an ideal choice as Center speaker behind an acoustically transparent screen, or even as left and right speakers to achieve the widest possible listening area in a wide room.

Unique features

Reduced floor and ceiling reflections and uniform sound energy across the room

The LS-1000 consists of multiple identical drivers in a vertical line source array. Compared to conventional point-source speakers, a line source minimizes the effect of floor and ceiling reflections by restricting the vertical sound dispersion. Listeners will hear more of the speaker and less of the room. The LS-1000 also retains its sound energy across the room, the perceived volume level is very uniform on every seat. The “sweet spot” opens-up in all directions significantly.

Dedicated LS models for left, right and center placement

Three different LS-1000 models have been designed for the best sound dispersion into the room. The LS-1000 Left beams sound slightly inwards when placed on the left side, away from the sidewall and towards the listening area. The LS-1000 Right beams sound slightly inwards when placed on the right side. The LS-1000 Center has the tweeters mounted centered, leading to a wider sound dispersion equal to the left and right.

Very rigid and shallow modular construction, easy to install

The LS-1000 is a very rigid modular construction which minimizes mechanical resonance. The overall cabinet design is slim and very shallow, which makes it very easy to install behind acoustically transparent screens. The stacked modules connect through integrated contact pins, so that no external speaker cables are required between the modules.

Easy to combine with amplifiers

With an IEC power handling of 300 watt, sensitivity of 98 dB 2.83 V/1m, and a combined impedance of 4 ohms when using four modules, the LS-1000 is easy to combine with amplifiers. The high sensitivity combined with a line source’s typically uniform sound energy across the room allows the LS-1000 to achieve very high volume levels while sounding very effortless with the given amplifier power. The frequency range of 20,000Hz down to 100Hz allows different woofers or subwoofers to complement the LS-1000 seamlessly, ideally with the Lyngdorf BW-20.
