First ISE in Barcelona

ISE, the world’s leading AV and systems integration exhibition, had been rescheduled several times and now finally took place May 10-13th, 2022.

Compared to ISE Amsterdam 2019 with 81.000 visitors and ISE Amsterdam 2020 with 52.000 visitors, this year the relocated exhibition was downscaled with fewer halls and 43.000 visitors. Steinway Lyngdorf adapted to this, but still premiered its new Marine Speaker for luxury outdoor sound systems and displayed a select range of Steinway and Lyngdorf Audio products, including the latest Lyngdorf LS-1000, D-500, D-5, and BW-20 installation speakers. Music entertainment came from the amazing Steinway & Sons Spirio self-playing piano, with special thanks to Eduardo from the Steinway & Sons distribution partner Hinves.

A highlight was the wonderful apartment, showroom, and home cinema of Genesis Home Technology, where a Steinway & Sons Model O, another Steinway & Sons piano as well and an elegantly designed Dolby Atmos private cinema impressed our invited partners. We’re very much looking forward to 2023.

Best of HIGH END 2022

Europe’s largest audio show HIGH END Munich was postponed three times and now finally took place May 19th – 22nd 2022. It successfully reached the visitor numbers from 2019, with close to 20.000 visitors and over 400 journalists from 35 countries, with 800 audio brands and exhibitors.

Lyngdorf Audio had a 75 sq. demo- and showroom in the grand Atrium 4, while the Steinway & Sons products were displayed in a special “apartment lounge” part of the room, with the impressive new Steinway & Sons Model A on demo.

Special highlight of the whole HIGH END was a Steinway & Sons concert piano Model D-274, placed prominently next to our Steinway & Sons Model D loudspeaker in the Atrium 3 entrance hall. The piano was the latest, self-playing Spirio model which created great attention, yet nothing beats the real thing when official Steinway Artist Vincent Corver was playing, or when a spontaneously bypassing Italian visitor turned out to be a piano virtuoso. Special thanks to Vincent Corver and Alessio Paolizzi for giving everyone magical music moments.

Here are some links and impressions for everyone who couldn’t travel to Munich, or to remember the event:

Amazing event at Woody’s Home in Pasadena

Late March we had an amazing event at Woody’s Home in Pasadena together with Steinway & Sons. The event included demos on Model D, Model O and Woody’s Steinway Lyngdorf theater as well as live performance from The Central4 Piano Quartet, the Russian pianist Victoria Fatu and Steinway artist Ms. Gwhyneth Chen.

CEDIA Expo 2018 highlights

Massive Model LS and IW-66 Atmos theater

The Model LS made a long overdue return to CEDIA in the form of a massive home theater this year. Using 8 LS boundary woofers with a total of 16 x 12″ drivers, we created a huge Atmos theater which featured the IW-66 for rear surround speakers. We ran demos by appointment only every hour to showcase the Model LS speakers’ ability to play music and movies with equal accuracy and power. From the acoustic strains of David Gilmore and Roger Waters to the heart-pounding race of Ready Player One, visitors heard – and experienced – every detail of the clip taking them on a ride they won’t soon forget.

New product unveiling

Visitors to our demo room also saw the unveiling of four new products in our Steinway & Sons collection:

• The Steinway & Sons Model O loudspeaker is our smallest full-range, free-standing speaker yet.
• The Steinway & Sons IC-16 in-ceiling speaker for immersive sound formats was shown with our new mounting kits.
• The new in-wall mounting kits provide an easy solution for in-wall and in-ceiling installations and are finished with a magnetic bezel-less grill.
• The last new product was an upgraded versions of our statement Head Unit processor, taking it from a stereo solution to an advanced multi-channel processor supporting the latest audio and video formats.

US launch of the Steinway & Sons Model B

First unveiled earlier this year at Europe’s ISE show, CEDIA Expo marked the first official unveiling for the Steinway & Sons Model B. At CEDIA, the Model B was shown in a custom pearl grey finish with chrome accents. This special edition set was originally produced for Samsung’s launch of their microLED display The Wall at InfoComm 2018.

Lyngdorf Audio

Visitors could experience Lyngdorf Audio in two locations on the main show floor. At the Roon booth, we showcased both the TDAI-3400 and the MP-50 processor. Barco Residential’s booth featured a full 5-channel Lyngdorf Audio set-up complete with our new FR-1 speakers, MH-2 speakers for the surrounds, and of course, the MP-50 processor with SDA amplifiers.

Multiple award wins

Last but not least, we had multiple award wins at this year’s Expo! Both the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 and the Steinway & Sons Model B were awarded the EXC!TE Award 2018, which is the result of an industry-wide search for the best products available to the industry this year. We were also very proud to be featured in the highest category of home theater at this year’s CEDIA 2018 awards. Our partner, One Touch Living, won the award for the highest category of Best Home Cinema Americas with a theater featuring Steinway Lyngdorf’s powerful In-Wall Series with the IW-66 speakers.

We hope to see you again at CEDIA 2019 in Denver!

“CEDIA Expo has always been a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our latest products, and this year will be no exception,”said Katherine Spiller, Sales & Marketing Director US, Steinway Lyngdorf. “I’m thrilled with the scope of our 2018 CEDIA presence. It’s our biggest and most impressive exhibition ever, and I know attendees will be very excited to see our products.”

Steinway Lyngdorf to expand CEDIA presence

At this year’s CEDIA Expo in San Diego, California, Steinway Lyngdorf and Lyngdorf Audio will expand their demonstrations and product showcases and will also provide in-depth training opportunities for partners. The strengthened CEDIA presence comes towards the end of a stellar year for both brands which included the launch of new products and a pre-shipment sell-out of the MP-50 processor, making Lyngdorf Audio’s move into multi-channel a huge success.

Lyngdorf Audio Shows Strength in Stereo and Surround Sound

Lyngdorf’s newest products will be spotlighted in Booth 2133 in a re-creation of the company’s Hollywood Loft in Los Angeles, in partnership with Cineak. At the Loft and in the mini-version to be unveiled at CEDIA, visitors will experience a Lyngdorf Audio stereo setup with a live demo of the MH-2/BW-2 stereo system as well as the new MP-50 surround sound processor.

Released in spring 2017, the MP-50 sold out in record time. Providing superior performance for media rooms and large dedicated theaters, the sleek MP-50 supports all immersive sound formats including Dolby® Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D®; in addition to supporting 4K and HDR. The MP-50 includes Lyngdorf’s proprietary RoomPerfect™ room correction, bass management, and seamless level alignment and built-in streaming services. It offers seamless integration with all control platforms including Josh.ai, Savant, Crestron, and Control4, as well as remote monitoring.

Shown in early prototype form during private previews in 2016, the MH-2 satellite speaker and BW-2 high bandwidth subwoofer started shipping in spring 2017. These new products can be used with any amplifiers in the market but will excel when combined with a Lyngdorf Audio amplifier with RoomPerfectTM and digital crossovers. The compact enclosures of the MH-2 and BW-2 were designed with a focus on discretion. Both are available in high-gloss black or matte white—allowing for seamless integration in any contemporary interior. The very shallow MH-2 satellite speakers can be placed on furniture, wall mounted, or creatively angled using standard aftermarket 100x100mm brackets. Performance-wise, they stand their ground on their own, but they are designed to be complemented by one or more high-end subwoofers, ideally, of course, the BW-2. Likewise, the BW-2 allows for very versatile placement. The woofer is offset in the cabinets, facilitating optimal audio reproduction at both horizontal and vertical placement. And the built-in powerful and intelligently designed electronics allow the BW-2 to be used with conventional amplifiers as well as Lyngdorf Audio amplifiers.

Steinway Lyngdorf Partners with Barco Residential

In partnership with Barco Residential, Steinway Lyngdorf will help transform an open concept space into a high-performance media room featuring Model M speakers powered by the Model P200 surround sound processor. This elegant high-tech solution includes a custom-designed console table which hides two rear speakers. Through a collaboration with Nexus 21, the two rear Model M speakers rise silently out of the table at the touch of a button. The powerful surround sound system is paired with a Screen Innovations Zero-G screen and Barco Loki 16/9 projector with Nexus 21 Eclipse Projector Drop Down, completing the media room transformation and demonstrating that perfect sound can happen anywhere.

The Steinway & Sons Model P200 features advanced HDMI switching capabilities and can handle up to five separate 4K video streams simultaneously, allowing routing from any HDMI input to any output with unique on screen displays for each stream. The Model P200 is equipped with the advanced technologies for which Steinway Lyngdorf is known, including RoomPerfect™ and fully digital signal processing. The Model P200 offers full support of 3D surround formats Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, and AURO-3D®. In addition to its advanced HDMI switching, it supports 4K and 3D video, HDR, and HDCP 2.2.

Partner Training Opportunities

In addition to robust product demonstrations, Steinway Lyngdorf and Lyngdorf Audio will also provide in-depth partner training at this year’s CEDIA. These invitation-only training sessions will review core technology platforms, product lines, company history, and new processor features.
