The Lyngdorf CS-1 speaker represents a new approach to high-fidelity audio design, crafted as a compact full-range loudspeaker that seamlessly integrates into the aesthetic and functional confines of interior spaces. This speaker is tailor-made for unobtrusive integration within various types of furniture, such as lowboards, sideboards, and TV units, ensuring a harmonious blend of design and sound quality without compromising on either.
Diverging from the conventional vertical alignment, the CS-1 speaker adopts a horizontal orientation to complement its designated environment. A key feature of its design is the front-ported bass reflex and a uniquely positioned tweeter, which is both elevated and angled to mitigate sound diffraction caused by furniture edges.
This strategic placement is instrumental in enhancing sound projection and clarity, directing audio precisely towards the listening area for an optimal auditory experience.
The core of the Lyngdorf CS-1’s exceptional audio performance lies in its adoption of the same high-quality midrange/bass driver and tweeter found in the acclaimed FR-1 two-way loudspeaker. However, it goes a step further by undergoing a meticulous design and sound tuning process specifically engineered for in-cabinet acoustics. This bespoke approach ensures that the speaker not only fits physically within furniture but also acoustically complements its enclosed placement, delivering unparalleled sound quality.
Emphasizing durability and aesthetic compatibility, the CS-1 is constructed from robust MDF and finished with a matte-black lacquer that is both elegant and easy to maintain. The inclusion of self-adhesive rubber pads addresses the practical concerns of furniture protection and vibration absorption, enhancing the speaker’s stability and performance.
Opting to forego a front grille, the CS-1 is designed to deliver unimpeded sound quality, making it particularly suited for placement behind fabric-covered doors of multimedia furniture, ensuring that its presence is felt rather than seen.
This innovative speaker is a testament to Lyngdorf’s commitment to blending high-end audio technology with interior design, offering an audio solution that is both visually discreet and acoustically vibrant. The CS-1 is an exemplary choice for audiophiles and design-conscious individuals alike, seeking to enrich their living spaces with superior sound without the visual intrusion of traditional speaker systems.
