Lyngdorf Audio Introduces RoomPerfect (11/1/2006)

Many people know that the best room correction systems can give startling improvements to the sound quality of a hi-fi system. Quite often though, good results are only achieved after numerous alterations to target curves etc. And often improvements in some areas come at the expense of other qualities.

During the summer of 2005 Lyngdorf Audio - a company with many years of experience in this field - took a strategic decision to hire some of the best scientists and engineers in the industry to work on a ground-breaking new room correction technology that goes way beyond anything that has been created before.

The fruits of their labours will be demonstrated for the first time in our room AP 1960 at CES in January 2006. We guarantee you're going to be stunned at what you hearÉ

Our new system is named RoomPerfect(TM). It's fully automated and capable of learning and extracting information from your listening room in a totally new way.

It also offers a unique, new option for users: Global and Focussed compensation. In short that means RoomPerfect(TM) delivers an optimal sound field throughout the room (for good quality listening over wide areas) as well as direct focussed compensation in a specific listening position, based upon intelligent usage of all the acoustic properties of your listening room.

RoomPerfect(TM) is in the process of being patented by Lyngdorf Audio and we can hardly wait to tell you more about it. In the meantime what we can say is that this is categorically the world's first system that performs correction based on the actual and accurate measured conditions in your room.

Earlier systems were totally dependent on a coarse smoothing of the measured actual response Ð done either mathematically or by averaging a number of measurements around the sweet spot. Therefore the resulting correction 'overlooked' some of the room problems, while 'overcorrecting' for others Ð particularly at the lower frequencies.

The RoomPerfect(TM) system from Lyngdorf Audio needs no smoothing or averaging at the lower frequencies to achieve its correction. Therefore the system will accurately compensate for virtually any room problems. The key to its abilities is highly intelligent software which - and this is another first - determines not only the problems, but also the cause of the problems.

The first implementation of RoomPerfect(TM) will be in the form of an optional module for our award-winning TDA 2200 True Digital Amplifier, also available as a retro-fit option to all existing owners of the TDA 2200.
