Our history
1999
The first real digital amplifier
Peter Lyngdorf funds the development of the Equibit™ technology, which can transform a PCM track on a CD directly to a PWM control signal in a Class D amplifier. He also funds the development of the Equilog™ technology, which can transform an analog signal to a PWM control signal in a Class D amplifier in real Hi-Fi quality.
2005
Rethink everything
In 2005, audio innovator Peter Lyngdorf, on a mission to create absolute perfection in sound reproduction, founded a revolutionary sound system research and development company in Denmark. Lyngdorf brought to this new venture his experience in conceiving some of the most significant audio breakthroughs in history, including the world’s first fully digital amplifier. In a re-imagining of digital acoustic compensation, RoomPerfect™ premiered the following year, together with a next-generation fully digital amplifier. With these foundations, the stage was set for a groundbreaking collaboration that would change the course of audio history.
2006
The first real room correction system
Development of the first real room correction system, RoomPerfect™ – one of the largest patents in the audio business with 55 claims for new technologies.

2007
A promise of perfection
Lyngdorf’s work soon caught the attention of a worldwide icon. In 2007, following a history-making partnership with Steinway & Sons, Steinway Lyngdorf released the Model D Music System, a legendary product which represents the pinnacle of audio and design prowess. The partnership was based on an ambitious promise – that Steinway Lyngdorf systems would reproduce the sound of a Steinway & Sons grand piano to the degree that even seasoned concert pianists could not discern the difference.
