Dynaudio LYD 5 - 5" Active Nearfield Monitor
The Dynaudio LYD 5 is the ideal complement for any small home or project studio set-up, built to deliver the unvarnished truth of your mix with low-volume precision. As the largest two-way speaker in the Dynaudio LYD series, it leverages the same lightweight aluminium voice-coils in its handmade 5-inch Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) drive-units as Dynaudio’s high-end hi-fi speakers. Paired with cutting-edge 24-bit/96kHz Class-D amplification and advanced DSP, the LYD 5 achieves 100% consistency, ensuring an exact, neutral, and uncoloured reproduction of your mix, allowing you to work long hours without ear fatigue.
Key Features
-
High-Precision Bi-Amplification: Features a bi-amped speaker design with two separate 50W amplifiers (50 W Woofer / 50 W Tweeter) utilizing state-of-the-art Class-D amplification. This provides precise power distribution and a powerful Max SPL of 106 dB (at 1m).
-
Advanced DSP Tuning: The 24-bit/96kHz signal path includes advanced DSP with a crossover frequency of 5200 Hz. This processing ensures incredible consistency between pairs and delivers a truly neutral sound.
-
Low-End Control (Bass Extension): Features a 3-way ‘Bass Extension’ switch that allows you to control the low end in 10Hz increments (+10 Hz / +5 dB, 0, -10 Hz / -5 dB). This feature is crucial for adapting the monitor's performance to the size of your room.
-
Acoustic Position Control: Includes a Position switch with two different tunings: one for free standing and one designed for wall-mounted installation (speakers within 50 cm of a wall). This filters reflective interference for greater accuracy in challenging acoustic environments.
-
Sound Balance Control (Tilt Filter): The 'Sound Balance' selector is a tilt filter (dark, neutral, bright) that increases or limits brightness depending on the acoustic characteristics of your room, making it easy to compensate for treated or bare walls.
-
Variable Input Sensitivity: A switch provides three settings for input sensitivity: -6 dB, 0 dB, or +6 dB, allowing for optimal gain staging with different audio interfaces and mixing consoles.
-
Professional Connectivity: Features both XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs for flexible integration into professional and project studios.
