The RoomPerfect™ Solution Adapts Speakers to the Room

When setting up a high-end home audio system, did you know that the room it occupies plays a critical role in the sound quality? Most premium audio products are developed in acoustically ideal listening rooms, but the reality is most homes are far from perfect sound labs. While there are components that include some elements of room correction to fix acoustic issues, one manufacturer integrates it into the speakers—Steinway Lyngdorf. Developed by audio pioneer Peter Lyngdorf after more than two decades of research, Steinway Lyngdorf’s RoomPerfect™ is an intelligent system that goes beyond simply identifying speaker characteristics. It precisely measures your room's acoustics and applies sophisticated corrections to the audio signal. The result? Sound that's perfectly tailored to your Colorado Springs home, whether you're in a modern loft downtown or a spacious mountain retreat.
