Lyngdorf FR-2 - Designed for near-wall placement

The new Lyngdorf FR-2 high-performance floor-standing speaker from Lyngdorf Audio is designed to be a solution that can be easily placed directly in front of a wall. SL Audio A/S describes it as an extremely flexible solution that also impresses with its elegant appearance.

Story Highlights
  • The new Lyngdorf FR-2 high-performance floor-standing speaker from SL Audio A/S, a Lyngdorf Audio brand, is said to be a particularly flexible loudspeaker system.

With its Lyngdorf Audio brand solutions, SL Audio A/S has always focused on products that are characterised by three features: firstly, the use of the latest technologies to achieve the best possible quality; secondly, maximum flexibility for individual customisation; and, last but not least, a timelessly elegant design.

All this should also apply to the latest speaker system that SL Audio A/S is now presenting under the Lyngdorf Audio brand, the Lyngdorf FR-2 High-performance Floor Standing Speaker.

Lyngdorf FR-2 – The second full-range on-wall speaker

The new Lyngdorf FR-2 High-performance Floor Standing Speaker is a conceptual extension of the Lyngdorf FR-1 Full-range Loudspeaker, a solution that is specifically designed for wall mounting and presents itself as a compact two-way loudspeaker.

The manufacturer from Denmark particularly emphasises that these are full-range speakers, as the abbreviation FR stands for exactly this, as SL Audio A/S states, whereby one should actually speak of full-range on-wall speakers.

“With the Lyngdorf FR-2, we are expanding our portfolio of floorstanding speakers. Last year we introduced the Cue-100, uncompromising in design and technology. Now we are expanding the on-wall concept with a Lyngdorf floorstanding speaker. Getting to the point that we know this concept well from our Steinway & Sons products, we are confident that our customers and distribution channels will embrace this solution for its acoustic benefits and space-saving room placement.”

Anker Haldan, CCO, Lyngdorf Audio

Specially developed for placement close to the wall

The new Lyngdorf FR-2 High-performance Floor Standing Speaker is also designed for direct placement on the wall, making it particularly easy to integrate into any living environment with hardly any space required. Even wall mounting is possible here, as the manufacturer explicitly emphasises.

SL Audio A/S also states that the drivers have been integrated into a particularly flat loudspeaker concept, building on the respective room acoustics instead of working against them.

As the Lyngdorf FR-2 is specially designed for wall mounting, the woofers have been positioned as close as possible to the wall behind the speaker. According to the manufacturer, this results in an ideal impulse response in the low frequencies and a surprisingly tight and powerful bass that cannot be heard in most free-standing speakers.

The two powerful 6.5’ inch woofers of the Lyngdorf FR-2 are equipped with a rigid, ventilated die-cast basket, an extra strong and large magnet and a very light aluminium cone, as SL Audio A/S states.

Silk domes are used for the tweeters, which are also equipped with particularly powerful magnets. The bass reflex port is directed downwards so that it is not visible and always has the same ideal acoustic distance to the floor boundary and the wall corner.

The Lyngdorf FR-2 is characterised by a very high level of efficiency and allows even high sound levels with very low distortion. Thanks to a linear impedance distribution, the speaker system can also be used with a wide variety of electronics without any problems and always guarantees optimum results.

“When you look at today’s speaker market, it’s amazing how many classic HiFi speakers there are, and how few speakers that fit elegantly into a modern living room. The unusually flat Lyngdorf FR-2 is designed precisely for display close to the wall. This speaker works with the room acoustics rather than against them, and is also characterised by modern colours and fabric covers.”

Roland Hoffmann, Product Marketing Director, Lyngdorf Audio

Flat, elegant design

The fact that the Lyngdorf FR-2 has a very flat design and is characterised by its round, elegant shape is of course not insignificant, especially for installation close to the wall or even wall mounting.

The housing of the Lyngdorf FR-2 is manufactured by the new housing manufacturer SL Audio A/S in Denmark, and the high-quality paint finish in three modern, silk-matt colour options is also applied here.

It should also be mentioned that the baffle is made of a textile fabric from Danish specialist Gabriel A/S, whereby these are interchangeable and two design variants are available.

“The basic shape of an on-wall speaker is usually rather rectangular and flat on the wall, so we have given the FR-2’s baffle a special, additional shape that also covers all the screw fittings and speaker baskets. This design element makes the speaker look much more elegant and slimmer. The fabric cover is attached in place of the baffle and fits completely flush with the front of the speaker.”
