The best option is to connect using an HDMI cable via the corresponding HDMI ARC/eARC ports on the television and amplifier/processor. In the television settings, enable HDMI ARC and CEC (if necessary).
Alternative options include connecting via SPDIF, which is usually available as Toslink (optical) or RCA (coaxial) ports on your TV and amplifier/processor.

Yes, that's absolutely correct. All electronic components from Steinway Lyngdorf and Lyngdorf Audio are designed to integrate seamlessly into modern home automation ecosystems.

1. Professional Automation Systems (Smart Home)

Our equipment supports bidirectional control via IP (TCP/IP) and RS-232 interfaces. Official drivers and integration modules are available for most leading automation systems:

• Control4, Crestron, AMX, RTI, Savant, Elan (Nice), and others.
  This makes it easy to automate scenarios: for example, when you select movie mode, the ambient lighting dims gradually, the projection screen lowers, and the Steinway Lyngdorf processor automatically selects the appropriate input and sets the preset volume level.

2. Alternative and DIY platforms

Thanks to its open network protocol and an active community of audiophiles, Lyngdorf equipment integrates seamlessly into systems such as Home Assistant (via the appropriate integrations) and other open-source platforms.

3. Official mobile apps

Special apps have been developed for easy, everyday control directly from your smartphone or tablet:

• «My Lyngdorf» — for Lyngdorf Audio components.
• «My Steinway Lyngdorf» — for Steinway & Sons systems.

The apps let you conveniently adjust the volume, switch between sources, select RoomPerfect™ and Voicings presets (tone calibration), and control the built-in media player and internet radio without having to open the web interface or look for the physical remote control.

A loudspeaker (or speaker) is the general name for a device that converts electrical signals into sound waves that we can hear. Simply put, it is the final element of any audio system that reproduces music, speech or other sounds.
In the context of Gramophone.ua and the world of high-quality audio, the term ‘loudspeaker’ can refer to full-fledged acoustic systems: floor-standing, shelf-mounted, suspended, built-in, which are used in Hi-Fi and Hi-End systems.
Please note: in everyday life and professional circles, the terms ‘loudspeaker,’ ‘speaker,’ ‘column,’ and ‘acoustic system’ are often used interchangeably, although technically they can mean different things. On our website, we use the terms ‘loudspeaker’ or ‘acoustic system’ to refer to devices that reproduce sound.
