Features

Three-way architecture for clearer mix playback

With a dedicated midrange driver, the LYD-48 significantly improves vocal clarity and instrument separation. You can distinguish sound planes more clearly, even in dense arrangements. Ideal for fine-tuning vocal balance or adjusting complex transients.

Built-in DSP to suit your room

The internal DSP lets you adjust the rendering to suit your environment. The Position setting optimizes response close to a wall or in an open field. Sound Balance adjusts overall character. Bass extension ±10 Hz refines the bass response according to your room and listening volume.

Hand-crafted Dynaudio loudspeakers

Silk dome tweeter delivers detailed, non-destructive highs. MSP cones ensure a natural midrange and accurate bass. You’ll work longer, with less fatigue, while maintaining a faithful reproduction of the mix.

Powerful, controlled Class-D tri-amplification

Each channel has its own dedicated amplification, controlled by a 96 kHz / 24-bit DSP. The result: excellent transient response, a stable stereo image and a wide dynamic range, even at high levels.

High sound pressure without loss of precision

Capable of reaching 114 dB SPL at 1 m, the LYD-48 retains its definition at high volume. You can test your mixes in realistic conditions without compression or harshness, useful for modern mixing and pre-mastering.

Simple studio integration

XLR and RCA inputs, adjustable sensitivity, automatic switch-off: the LYD-48 integrates easily into an advanced home studio or professional control room. The bass-reflex design ensures extended bass without sacrificing precision.
