Legendary Studio Sound
Active nearfield studio monitors need to present the unvarnished truth: no colouration, no distortion, no flattery of the music running through them. You need to be able to hear exactly what each thread of the music is doing – so, when it comes to mixing and mastering, you know you can deliver exactly what the artist wants.
Dynaudio’s BM and LYD Series of studio monitors combine decades of experience in the design of full-scale, zero-compromise reference systems for major studios worldwide, with cutting-edge R&D, digital processing technology and materials science, not to mention expertise in home and car audio.
And that combination means you hear nothing but the truth.

Jupiter - Dynaudio's astonishing measurement testing facility
At the heart of Dynaudio Labs in Denmark sits Jupiter, Dynaudio's incredible measurement testing facility - complete with a giant robot arm!
A hollow cube measuring 13 metres in every direction, Jupiter is packed with cutting-edge technology, allowing the development team to make infinitesimally small measurements of every Dynaudio speaker, and from any angle.
Driven by proprietary software created in-house at Dynaudio, Jupiter's robot arm is mounted with 31 microphones at 6° intervals, and can measure 180° of sound in a single go.
Of course, a good engineer is never satisfied. “I wouldn’t be doing this any more if I was satisfied,” says Dynaudio's Alex Newman, on the subject of Dynaudio's enduring quest for sonic excellence. “If I was, what would I be trying to achieve after that?”
Dynaudio's engineering team may never be 100% happy – but Jupiter allows them to get very close!

BM15A
• HF Trim (up to 15 kHz, +/-6dB)

• MF (-2dB / -4dB)
• HF (+/-1dB)
• HP (Flat / 60 Hz / 80 Hz)
DSP Control
All Dynaudio LYD Series monitors feature on-board DSP processing, allowing users to optimise each speaker for different acoustic environments, and to adjust for personal taste.
Bass Extension
• -10Hz (greatest low frequency extension, -5dB max power output)
• 0 Hz
• +10Hz (loudest output with least low frequency extension, +5dB max power output)
Sound Balance
The sound balance (or 'tilt filter') affects the overall tone of the speaker, allowing for compensation in an overly dead or bright room.

• Dark (20Hz +1.5dB, 20kHz -1.5 dB)

The position switch helps in taming reflections from the wall behind each speaker.
