Know before you buy
The LYD-8 is designed for small to medium-sized studios. Its 8-inch woofer provides enough low-end extension to handle primary monitoring duties without needing a separate subwoofer in most standard-sized home or project studio environments.
The speaker features two specific tuning modes that adjust the frequency response based on where you place them in your room. This helps compensate for bass buildup if you have to position the monitors close to a wall or in a corner, ensuring a more accurate sound.
No, the LYD-8 is a bi-amped active monitor. It features built-in Class-D amplification, providing 80W for the woofer and 50W for the tweeter, so you can connect it directly to your audio interface or monitor controller.
The MSP material is proprietary to Dynaudio and is used to create a one-piece molded diaphragm. It offers an ideal balance of stiffness, low weight, and internal dampening, which results in highly accurate transient response and reduced distortion.
Yes, the monitors include a 'Sound Balance' control. This allows you to tilt the frequency response, letting you subtly brighten or darken the overall sound to better match your room's acoustics or your personal preference.
The LYD-8 has a frequency response that extends down to 45 Hz. This provides a solid, precise low-end foundation that is deep enough for most mixing and production tasks without requiring additional bass management.
