Lyngdorf Audio has expanded its acclaimed Discreet series with the introduction of the D-5 IC N, a compact in-ceiling speaker engineered for seamless integration into home cinemas, media rooms, and sophisticated living spaces. Replacing the earlier D-5 IC model, the new D-5 IC N where โNโ denotes its narrower enclosure combines cutting-edge audio performance with a space-efficient design tailored for challenging installations.
Compact Design, Uncompromised Sound
The D-5 IC N is crafted to deliver exceptional sound quality in a discreet form factor. At its core is a rigid MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) enclosure, a hallmark of Lyngdorfโs Discreet series, which minimizes resonances and ensures consistent, high-fidelity audio performance. Unlike conventional in-ceiling speakers that rely on aftermarket backboxes or closed wall cavities, the D-5 IC Nโs integrated enclosure simplifies installation while maintaining predictable sound quality, regardless of the ceilingโs construction or available space. This design also prevents sound leakage, making it ideal for multi-room setups or shared living environments.
Narrow Enclosure for Versatile Installations
The โNโ in D-5 IC N stands for โnarrow,โ addressing the needs of installations where space between ceiling joists or structural bars is limited. By positioning the speakerโs drive units as close together as possible, Lyngdorf ensures optimal sound radiation without compromising on audio clarity or dispersion. The speaker features a sleek, square, white front grille paintable and magnetically secured that visually aligns with the square surround and rear D-5 models, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic for custom installations.
Precision Sound with Adjustable Tweeter
A standout feature of the D-5 IC N is its angled, adjustable tweeter, which allows sound to be directed toward the listening area rather than simply downward. This makes the speaker an excellent choice for immersive audio setups, such as Dolby Atmos or Auro-3D, where height channels are critical for creating a three-dimensional soundstage. Whether positioned above the listener in front, at the sides, or behind, the tweeterโs radiation pattern can be fine-tuned post-installation to optimize sound dispersion and enhance the listening experience.
A Growing Discreet Series
The D-5 IC N joins Lyngdorf Audioโs Discreet series, which now includes seven speakers and two woofers: the D-500, D-500 Center, D-5, D-5 IC N, D-6, D-60, D-60 C, and the shallow in-wall woofers DW-1 and DW-10. This comprehensive lineup offers integrators and homeowners unparalleled flexibility to design high-performance audio systems tailored to any space.
Available Now
Production of the D-5 IC N has begun at Lyngdorf Audioโs state-of-the-art facility in Skive, Denmark, and the speaker is now available for purchase. With its blend of innovative engineering, space-saving design, and premium audio performance, the D-5 IC N sets a new standard for discreet in-ceiling speakers, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and custom installers alike.
