The DP-1 is a true little jewel. This elegant and slim line floorstanding dipole loudspeaker will deliver midrange and treble with an effortlessness and musicality you have never heard before.
The DP-1 is intended to be used in a Lyngdorf 2+2 set-up - where you combine it with a BassDirect speaker to deliver the bass.

When we started developing the DP-1 we took a serious look into one of the largest problem for loudspeakers - the cabinet itself - and simply removed it. The speaker cabinet was originally invented as an easy way of obtaining deep bass from a small speaker system. But a cabinet is resonant and vibrant and thus makes a lot of unwanted contribution to the sound. Therefore, the cabinet advantage of extended bass has severe costs in degradation of all the octaves above, especially the upper bass and midrange. And since we did not need bass from the DP-1 the choice was easy.
Furthermore, the air inside a cabinet works like a "spring" attached to the cone and like a real spring actually works as a mechanical "brake", holding back the driver unit when it starts to move. This actually drains energy from the drive units which obviously compromises dynamics, attack and precision.

The new Lyngdorf DP-1 speakers have no cabinet, just a stylish front baffle on which the drivers are mounted. This - in combination with the selection of some of the best drivers available - results is an extremely open, detailed and dynamic musicality completely free for traditional cabinet-induced smear and coloration.

Technologies

Seas magnesium cone woofer
The pole piece holds a copper ring in the magnet gap in order to reduce eddy currents. This reduces iron distortion and inductance. The result is significantly improved impulse response and reduced distortion.

Scan Speak Revelator Tweeter
We had no doubts when it came to choosing the tweeter the DP-1 ... the legendary Revelator from Scan Speak was the obvious driver. Only the large face-plate of the original Revelator did not fit into our design, since it would need to be placed further away from the woofer.

Low Loss Crossover Network
As always at Lyngdorf we have chosen extremely high quality drivers in order to make a minimum of corrections in the cross-over network.

"Cabinet"
The front baffle of the DP-1 is made of 5-7 layers of MDF board glued together to shape the 30 - 50 mm thick baffle - resulting in the optimum acoustic properties for the drivers to work in.
