Steinway & Sons electronics in black Clic furniture

We announce software update for all Lyngdorf Audio and Steinway & Sons multichannel home theater processors, including Qobuz Connect and Pure Audio Streaming. This update continues our policy of adding new features to existing products and always focusing on the best sound quality.

Qobuz Connect for music lovers

We are already at the forefront integrating music streaming in our multichannel home theater processors, for example adding Tidal Connect with Dolby Atmos Music, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and Roon Ready. Tidal Connect also allows to play thousands of Dolby Atmos Music albums directly, specifically recorded or remixed in certified Dolby Atmos Studios to give the listener a totally new, fully immersive sound experience.

The newest software update adds Qobuz Connect, chosen by many music listeners for its rich catalogue of high-resolution music including a wide Jazz and Classical selection, available for both streaming and downloads. This makes our multichannel processors the perfect choice for movie enthusiasts as well as music lovers.

The new standard in immersive listening: Pure Audio high-resolution multichannel streaming

The software update also adds a new standard in immersive listening: Multichannel streaming in highresolution sound quality. Pure Audio Streaming delivers the world’s first lossless, uncompressed, and uncompromised immersive audio streaming, revolutionizing the way listeners experience music at home.

We will be the first manufacturer to integrate Pure Audio Streaming directly via AC Connect in our multichannel processors, ready to play high-resolution immersive audio with the convenience of app control. Simply open the Pure Audio app, choose a song, playlist or album, and stream directly over the multichannel processor.

Further updates and improvements including Auto Lipsync

The update also adds automatic lip-sync to the Lyngdorf MP-40 2.1 and Steinway & Sons P100 2.1 processors. The Auto Lipsync feature compensates for incorrect timing between audio and video, and syncs it with feedback from the TV, projector or video processor through HDMI eARC. Auto Lipsync was already available in the MP-60 2.1 and P300 2.1 models, and is now available in all models with HDMI 2.1.

The software update is available now and free of charge for all Lyngdorf Audio and Steinway & Sons processors.

Key features:

  • Qobuz Connect support
  • Pure Audio Streaming support via AC Connect
  • Updates for Trigger function
  • Updates for Roon and Tidal feature
  • P100 2.1 /MP-40 2.1: Automatic lipsync

The MP-60 2.1 supports Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X® Pro, and AURO-3D®, and offers HDMI 2.1 with 8K video, eARC, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision™. With its elegant web-based interface, installers can easily map up to 16 audio channels, ensuring flawless integration and immersive sound.

Close up of Steinway & Sons Model D loudspeaker

Susi von den Stemmen, a profilic journalists writing for cars, travels, sports and many other lifestyle topics, visited the Steinway Lyngdorf headquarter to see how the loudspeakers and electronics are made, and to experience first-hand how a Steinway & Sons audio systems sounds like. Here are some of her impressions: 

“Welcome to Steinway Lyngdorf – a place where you can exchange the tranquillity of Denmark for what is perhaps the most radical musical experience in the world.”

“From the outside, the factory looks unspectacular: a few halls, clean lines, Scandinavian simplicity. Inside, however, black lacquer gleams like freshly tuned grand pianos, bronze frames shimmer, and loudspeakers stand like sculptures in a museum. This is not a place for tinkering; this is a place for building sound.”

“The first listening is not a concert, it’s a revelation. Two speakers, an inconspicuous sound calibration – and suddenly a stage opens up that seems larger than any concert hall. Strings emerge out of nowhere, singers stand in the room as if they were physically present. No sound colouration, no harshness, just pure truth in the sound. Anyone who thinks they know music will realise here that what they knew before was only a sketch.”

“People travel to Denmark to find peace and quiet. I travelled to Skive – and lost my peace and quiet. Because when a Steinway Lyngdorf system gets going, there’s no room left for background noise. Only for what really matters: music so real, so clear, so alive that even Beethoven would get goosebumps.”

Steinway Lyngdorf releases new app for amplifiers, processors and music streaming

Steinway Lyngdorf releases new app for amplifiers, processors and music streaming

Steinway Lyngdorf releases new app for amplifiers, processors and music streaming

Close up of the Steinway Lyngdorf app

Steinway Lyngdorf releases completely new iOS and Android app to control Steinway Lyngdorf amplifiers and processors from a smartphone or tablet:

My Steinway Lyngdorf App

They are the smartest way to access all settings, help setting up a new device, customize the user interface, calibrate the sound system, and stream music. With an icon-based screen and intuitive touch, tap, and slide functions, operating a Steinway Lyngdorf system is now easier than ever.

The most convenient remote control for everyone

Every Steinway Lyngdorf amplifier and processor has a wealth of functions and features. Even though a conventional remote control has the advantage of physical buttons, and some functions are also accessible over the unit’s front display, an app allows to explore all functions in the most convenient and visual way. The graphical, iconbased layout has been specifically designed as an interactive, easy-to-understand interface, with several accessibility enhancements such as larger text, dark / light mode, and Apple VoiceOver.

Customize a Steinway Lyngdorf device – and even the app itself

Apart from setting up and controlling a Steinway Lyngdorf amplifier or processor, the new apps also allows user customization. Functions such as deleting unused inputs, renaming favorite inputs, selecting RoomPerfect modes, changing screen brightness and display modes, and modifying or creating custom Voicings all becomes inuitive and easy. Even the app home screen layout on the smartphone or tablet itself can be customized by the user, for example adding or removing app features and icons, and prioritizing often used functions.

Intelligent web radio

The most used function of a streaming amplifier is to interact with music, streaming services, and web radio. The new apps provide the common information about song, artist, and artwork, but also about the sound quality, such as bit depth and sample rate. The web radio player uses AI to easily find and filter radio stations by region, genre, tags, and preferences. This means one can easily find the best matching and best sounding music services, playlists, stations, or podcasts – for a better and more satisfying every-day listening experience.

Ready for Steinway Lynhdorf systems

The new app will control several products and adapt to their feature set: Steinway & Sons P100, P200, P300, Head Unit

A white Model S Soundbar at ISE 2025

ISE 2025 has officially wrapped up, and what a week it was – a record-breaking attendance of 85.351 verified visitors from 168 countries. Likewise, for Steinway Lyngdorf, ISE 2025 was an outstanding platform to engage with partners, showcase our latest advancements, and strengthen our collaborations. At our booth, we presented a live demo of the Steinway & Sons Model S Soundbar, powered by the P100 processor and A2 amplifier. We also introduced the brand-new BWS-210 in-wall woofer, expanding our woofer portfolio to seven models, from stackable installation solutions to extraordinary in-room designs with our signature high-gloss piano lacquer.

At our co-booth with Barco and Primetheater, we showcased the Model S Soundbar in high-gloss black with gold trim, while at our main booth, it was displayed in custom white with chrome trim, highlighting its design versatility. Another standout was the Model S-15 stored appropriately in an extravagant golden safe and placed next to a gold-plated sofa, both handcrafted by interieur design experts Boca Do Lobo from Portugal.

A highlight of the week was our exclusive Happy Hour in the Garden Lounge Area F, where our partners gathered to enjoy drinks while experiencing the Steinway & Sons Marine Speaker, a product designed for ultimate outdoor performance.

For those who couldn’t attend, watch as our Sales and Operations Manager Simon Schino presents the Steinway & Sons Model S Soundbar (watch it here) and the new in-wall woofers (watch it here) in two interviews with Rave Pubs, and see our Sales Director in UK Charlie McClarron discuss the Lyngdorf FR-2 speaker and the Steinway & Sons Model S Soundbar in a feature from Home Cinema Alliance (watch it here).
