The FR-1 from Lyngdorf Audio epitomizes high-fidelity sound in a compact and elegant design, ideal for the aesthetically conscious audiophile. It features a sophisticated closed cabinet design equipped with a large passive unit, optimized to eliminate internal resonance and extend the bass response, surpassing the usual limitations of its modest size. This design not only ensures profound bass output but also maintains a sleek and shallow profile for the speaker, making it perfect for wall mounting. The emphasis on minimizing the cabinet's depth facilitates a discreet installation while promoting better coupling with the room by positioning the drivers close to the wall.
Without the need for a subwoofer, the FR-1 stands out with its robust 6.5″ driver paired with an 8″ passive radiator, delivering powerful low-frequency performance uncommon in such a compact unit. This setup guarantees that voices remain clear and transients are sharp, contributing to a clean and dynamic audio output. For those seeking to augment the bass further, pairing the FR-1 with Lyngdorf BW-2 woofers can enhance the depth and overall sonic impact.
In terms of higher frequencies, the FR-1 boasts a redesigned textile soft dome tweeter, originally from the Lyngdorf MH-2, to accommodate the higher output demands. The speaker cones are crafted from lightweight, rigid aluminum, featuring a single, well-defined breakup point that is effectively managed through internal filters. This careful engineering culminates in a soundstage that is not only sensitive and expansive but also impressively detailed, ensuring that each listening experience is as immersive as it is expressive.
