Steinway
Lyngdorf, made headlines last year when it set
new standards in the global audio industry by
launching the world's first integrated, fully
digital music system called Model D.
Now the company has launched Model C, which has
the same DNA as Model D. But it further
exemplifies Steinway Lyngdorf's fusion of master
craftsmanship, perfected technology and design
artistry.
This is hardly surprising given the pedigree of
the company – a collaboration between Steinway &
Sons, makers of the world's finest pianos, and
Peter Lyngdorf, Europe's pre-eminent audio
manufacturer.
Priced at a little over Dh544,000, the
sleekly-built Model C Music System features two
floor-standing dipole speakers and twin-boundary
woofers, as well as the same iconic, pedestal
head-unit as presented along with the signature
Model D Music System.
However, it is smaller than Model D and can be
customised to suit the interiors of clients'
homes or offices. Speaking to Emirates Business,
Peter Lyngdorf, founder of Steinway Lyngdorf,
said: "We understood our customers' needs… both
individuals and commercial establishments
appreciated a music system that would offer the
same exceptional sound quality as Model D Music
System, yet one that would be ideal for a more
intimate and compact listening space.
"In specific cases, existing owners of our Model
D Music System also expressed their desire to
acquire additional systems that encapsulate the
DNA of Model D but one that would fit perfectly
into a different living space, such as their
bedrooms or more intimately designed dining
rooms."
"Model C is created to fulfil precisely this
need while adhering to all our uncompromising
core values," he said.
Peter Lyngdorf's quest for the perfect music
system started at the age of 11 when he bought
his first tape recorder.
"When I heard the first Beatles hits on my tape
recorder, I was so disappointed with the
in-built speakers that I started modifying the
cabinet to reduce the resonances. Since then, I
have been on a quest to realise my dream, which
is to have the perfect music systems without any
compromise," Lyngdorf said.
Led by Lyngdorf's compelling vision, a team of
international talents including designers and
engineers came together to realise the vision
over a period of two years – and the result was
Model D.
Now the same team has launched Model C, which is
precision-built and hand-assembled as a
completely integrated music system with all the
components carefully selected and designed from
the outset.
It offers all the core technologies that deliver
the outstanding musical quality of Steinway
Lyngdorf's products, including RoomPerfect and
the fully digital amplification technology.
Lyngdorf said: "RoomPerfect is the first room
correction system to take the three-dimensional
properties of the room into account.
"As RoomPerfect is based on several random
measurements in addition to the focused
measurement, it is able to understand the exact
nature of the different phenomena at lower
frequencies. Therefore, it is possible to use
the exact measurement from the listening
position without applying any smoothing to the
measurement. This means that the filter can be
applied with greater accuracy without any risk
of undesirable side effects."
"An effect of RoomPerfect is also that the sound
quality throughout the whole listening room will
improve. If you walk through the room with
RoomPerfect engaged, you will notice a much more
uniform sound quality than can be achieved with
other systems and, in particular, a more uniform
sound than without correction. For the first
time it is possible to achieve consistent
results for different acoustical environments,"
he said.
Designed to cater to more intimate, compact
listening spaces, Model C Music System offers
studio quality for all musical genres and is
particularly ideal for lovers of jazz, blues and
R&B with strong bass sounds enhanced by the twin
boundary woofers.
Like Model D music system, it takes
approximately eight weeks to assemble a single
Model C Music System. The new music System is
presented in elegant, classic black lacquer as
well as a broad range of customised wood or
coloured lacquer finishes to reflect its
customer's personal taste and home décor styles.
