Know before you buy
Yes, the LYD-7 is designed specifically for nearfield monitoring. Its compact footprint and versatile acoustic controls make it an excellent choice for smaller rooms where space is limited but high-fidelity sound is required.
Yes, the speakers feature balanced XLR inputs, which are standard for professional audio interfaces. They also include unbalanced RCA inputs for added flexibility with other playback equipment.
The built-in DSP allows you to adjust the bass extension, sound balance, and position settings. These controls help you compensate for room boundaries, such as placing the speakers close to a wall or in a corner, to ensure a flatter, more accurate frequency response.
No, the LYD-7 is an active monitor, meaning it has a built-in 100W Class-D amplifier. You only need to connect your audio source and power them via a standard outlet.
With a frequency response down to 50 Hz, the LYD-7 provides a solid, punchy low-end for most mixing tasks. While it won't replicate the sub-bass of a dedicated subwoofer, it offers enough detail for critical monitoring in professional post-production and music mixing.
This high-resolution processing ensures that the internal DSP maintains the integrity of your audio signal. It allows for precise crossover tuning and signal management, resulting in the natural sound signature and detailed imaging the LYD series is known for.
