The ultimate cinema experience with new X speakers

New X speakers

Steinway Lyngdorf commits to a new level of support for the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) with a collection of speakers designed for the ultimate Hollywood cinema and large format screening rooms. The X Series speakers are made specifically for both private and commercial projects that demand the highest possible performance. Designed for dedicated in-wall use, the X-Series speakers are based on the already high-performing In-Wall Series but offer a more powerful level of performance. The increased SPL capability has been engineered to meet the demanding new standards for commercial immersive theaters, making these speakers the perfect solution for large residential theaters as well as DCI-compliant screening rooms.

“Paradise Theater has recently engineered several DCI-compliant, Dolby ATMOS-Certified rooms with Steinway Lyngdorf audio systems. “The engineering team at Steinway Lyngdorf has been extremely responsive and collaborative in developing custom engineered speakers that meet the demanding SPL levels and performance required by Dolby for ATMOS certification,” said Sam Cavitt, owner of Paradise Theater. “The new X Series combines perfectly with the flagship Model LS Series to create the highest-level of cinematic experience. The new speaker collection represents a deeper level of commitment and focus on this important market segment – a direction for Steinway Lyngdorf that is great to see. We are very eager to commission these amazing rooms for our clients!”

Xtreme versions of IW-26V and IC-26

The collection includes two unique in-wall and in-ceiling speakers available as standard or bi-amplified designs. The Steinway & Sons Model X261 speaker is the “xtreme” version of the successful IW-26V speaker, redesigned and utilizing the more powerful air motion transformer (AMT) from the flagship Model D speaker. This gives the speaker an additional 4dB more peak output, for a total of 120dB with 93.5 dB sensitivity. For even greater output, the X262 operates without a filter in an active crossover bi-amped version, which adds another 2dB of peak output for a total of 122 dB. For immersive height channels, the X261C is the in-ceiling solution, providing a performance upgrade to the IC-26 speaker currently available. The X262C is the bi-amplified version.

 

The X series

The X Series (collection as listed below) will launch in late 2019, but detailed specifications and pricing will be announced shortly to Steinway Lyngdorf partners. For more information or assistance specifying the new X Series, contact your local Steinway Lyngdorf representative.

In-wall versions:

  • Steinway & Sons Model X261 (with filter)
  • Steinway & Sons Model X262 (active cross over/2-channel amplification)

In-ceiling versions:

  • Steinway & Sons Model X261C (with filter)
  • Steinway & Sons Model X262C (active cross over/2-channel amplification)

Steinway Lyngdorf launches new loudspeaker and processor

CEDIA 2018 cinema

Steinway Lyngdorf will unveil two new products – the Model B loudspeaker and the new P100 processor – at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2018, the largest AV and systems integration show in the world. ISE will take place from February 6-9 2018 at Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Center.

Attendees at ISE 2018 will be able to experience the Model B for the very first time paired with the new P100 processor. The P100 will features three HDMI inputs and one output with 18 Gbps bandwidth allowing 4K@60Hz passthrough with HDR.

Steinway Lyngdorf launches high-performance cinema collection

Steinway Lyngdorf launches high-performance cinema collection

In-Wall series picture

Steinway Lyngdorf is proud to announce the official launch of its new high-performance cinema speakers at CEDIA Expo 2016. Designed specifically as solutions for larger dedicated theaters and for the new immersive sound formats, the new collection is comprised of the grand IW-66 in-wall speaker and IC-26, a powerful angled ceiling speaker specifically designed for immersive sound formats.

Focused performance

The IW-66 is a true d’Appolito configuration for focused vertical dispersion, thus eliminating the critical first ceiling and floor reflections. In order to achieve the same focused vertical dispersion in the treble and still handle the necessary power, Steinway Lyngdorf engineers developed FAT™ (Focusing Array Tweeter) technology, which uses an array of three Air Motion Transformer tweeters. This ingenious solution means that the center tweeter will handle the highest frequencies and the upper and lower tweeters will handle the low treble, giving the array the necessary power capabilities and maintaining the same dispersion as the d’Appolito configured mid/woofers.

Effortless power

The IW-66’s sensitivity is an impressive 95dB, and with its six 6½” mid/woofers and three Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeters, it handles no less than 2 x 400W / 2 X 800 peak. This means reaching 105dB at 4m / 13ft only requires 128W, and one can still reach reference level at a distance of 15m / 50ft. The speaker has plenty of headroom to reproduce everything from the faintest detail to the most massive sound effects.

“The IW-66 is a grand performer—it combines striking power with advanced technologies to ensure the most stunning sound experience possible in medium and large home theaters. It perfectly bridges the gap between our regular in-wall speakers and our legendary line source speakers.” Thomas Birkelund, CEO, Steinway Lyngdorf

Versatile placement options

The IC-26 speaker is the perfect choice for immersive sound formats, as its angled design allows for optimum coverage of the entire listening area. It offers extremely versatile placement options, designed for perfect performance when placed inside a wall or ceiling, but also when placed in “free air.”

Powerful immersive effects

As the IC-26 can be placed above the ceiling—in “free air” with no support from boundaries—it was designed with two very potent 6½” woofers. This makes it powerful enough to deliver ample sound pressure levels even when placed in difficult locations. The woofers are accompanied by an AMT tweeter.

“Steinway Lyngdorf has always made flexibility a priority, but never at the expense of performance. The new IC-26 is a perfect illustration of this—the speaker’s versatility is remarkable and will be very pleasing to clients and installers working with unique settings. But even more impressive is the immersive performance of the speakers, which must be experienced to be believed.” Thomas Birkelund, CEO, Steinway Lyngdorf
