Description
The Dynaudio LYD 5 is a compact active nearfield monitor for small studios, home setups and desktop mixing. Its handmade 5-inch MSP woofer uses the same lightweight aluminum voice coil as Dynaudio's hi-fi speakers and works with a 1.1-inch soft-dome tweeter, two 50 W Class-D amplifiers and a 24-bit/96 kHz DSP signal path. Dynaudio tuned it to stay precise at low listening levels, so detail comes through without pushing the volume. This listing is one speaker in Black Satin.
Tuning to Your Room
Three DSP switches on the rear panel adapt the LYD 5 to the room. Bass Extension moves the low-frequency cutoff 10 Hz lower or higher, trading bass reach against maximum level. Sound Balance tilts the response by 1.5 dB at either end of the spectrum for a brighter or darker voicing, and Position applies a boundary filter for speakers placed within 50 cm of a wall.
Connections and Setup
Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs take a feed from an audio interface, mixer or monitor controller. A three-position sensitivity switch sets the maximum input level at 0, +6 or +12 dBu, and an Auto standby mode shuts the amplifiers down when no signal is present until audio returns at the input.
