Steinway Lyngdorf announcesthe launch of the new free-standing Steinway & Sons Model A loudspeaker. The new Model A is a full-range loudspeaker and provides the acclaimed Steinway & Sons sound performance from a loudspeaker specifically designed for room-friendly placement against a wall. This makes the Model A the first choice whenthe room shape or interior demands a more space-saving setup,from living rooms and media rooms to apartments, penthouses, or yachts, and even dedicated home cinemas without the space for separate woofers.

No compromises have been made in technology: Steinway Lyngdorf’s signature Air MotionTransformer tweeter and a dedicated midrange driver provide outstanding clarity and transparency,while two powerful 12-inch woofers deliver very deep, yet defined bass even from this shallow speaker cabinet. The speaker design features distinct side panels in black piano finish, black strings, and matte gold accents. Custom colors and polished gold details are available on request and special order.The Model A loudspeaker is designed and assembled by hand in Denmark.

Aswithevery Steinway & Sons loudspeaker, the Model A is part of Steinway Lyngdorf’s Integrated System Approach, ensuring each part of the system—from the Steinway & Sons stereo and surround sound processors to the powerful digital amplifiers and loudspeakers—is designed from the ground up to work perfectly together.Steinway Lyngdorf’s RoomPerfectTM technology is the finishing touch for each integrated system.RoomPerfect acoustically calibrates the speaker to the room acoustics,always ensuring the very best sound experience for every customer, in any room.
