Introducing the Lyngdorf FR-2: A Floor-Standing Speaker Perfectly Designed for Wall Placement
When it comes to audio performance and aesthetic integration, the new Lyngdorf FR-2 floor-standing speaker sets a new standard. Specifically designed to be placed against a wall, the FR-2 offers outstanding sound quality while seamlessly fitting into any modern home. This innovative speaker by Lyngdorf Audio is a top choice for audio enthusiasts seeking both high performance and design that complements their living space.
The FR-2 is specially tuned for optimal performance near a wall, making it ideal for contemporary interiors where space is at a premium. Unlike conventional floor-standing speakers that need room behind them for ideal sound, the FR-2’s shallow cabinet design leverages wall acoustics to enhance sound quality. Placing the speaker close to the wall helps create a tight, powerful bass that enhances low-frequency response and provides immersive sound.
At the heart of the FR-2 are high-performance components that ensure clarity and depth across a full range of sounds. The speaker features two 6.5-inch woofers with die-cast aluminum baskets, lightweight aluminum cones, and robust magnets, all contributing to exceptional efficiency and minimal distortion. Additionally, the soft-dome tweeter with a powerful magnet guarantees rich detail in high frequencies. The downward-facing bass reflex port enhances bass performance and maintains an ideal floor boundary, hiding it from view to keep the design sleek.
Lyngdorf Audio has crafted the FR-2 to offer both visual and acoustic appeal. The speaker’s shallow design, rounded edges, and choice of three satin-matte colors allow it to blend effortlessly into any room. Its exchangeable fabric covers—sourced from Danish fabric specialist Gabriel—offer a customizable look, and the option to mount the speaker on the wall makes it ideal for rooms where floor space is limited.
A major milestone for Lyngdorf Audio, the FR-2 is the brand’s 18th speaker model and a hallmark of their new in-house cabinet production and lacquering facility in Denmark. With this shift to local manufacturing, Lyngdorf ensures high-quality craftsmanship and finishes on each FR-2 speaker. This attention to detail is part of Lyngdorf’s ongoing commitment to innovation in audio solutions, following the success of their Cue-100 and drawing from experience in their Steinway & Sons range.
The FR-2’s debut at the prestigious Audio Video Show 2024 in Warsaw, Poland, underscores Lyngdorf Audio’s position as an industry leader. The FR-2 will be available starting November 2024, promising to enhance audio experiences worldwide with its unique blend of functionality, design, and sound quality.
Lyngdorf Audio’s team shares a strong belief in the FR-2’s potential to redefine floor-standing speaker design. According to Anker Haldan, CCO, the FR-2 “elevates the on-wall concept” for Lyngdorf, offering a stylish yet functional solution that appeals to both modern design and sound quality enthusiasts.
Roland Hoffmann, Product Marketing Director, highlights how the FR-2 diverges from conventional box speakers, embracing an elegant form that prioritizes both room aesthetics and acoustics. Mechanical Designer Brian Nielsen also contributed to the FR-2’s signature look, ensuring that the speaker’s fabric grill blends smoothly into the design for a cohesive, slim profile.
The FR-2 is not just a speaker; it’s a thoughtfully designed, performance-driven audio solution. Whether you’re an audiophile, a design enthusiast, or simply someone looking to enhance your living space with high-quality sound, the FR-2 offers:
With the Lyngdorf FR-2, experience sound as it was meant to be heard—powerful, immersive, and seamlessly integrated into your home.
The Lyngdorf FR-2 Speakers are set to retail for £3999 a pair.
