PREOWNED – FULLY TESTED – COMPLETE
The BW-3 is designed as a high bandwidth subwoofer with the
objective of reproducing optimal dynamics and precision. This is reflected in
the frequency range of the driver reaching up to 800 Hz in bypass mode, in
contrast to traditional subwoofers, which are typically limited to 120 Hz.
Powerful and compact design
The internal amplifier is Lyngdorf Audio’s Class-D design
based on more than 15 years of experience in designing audiophile Class-D
amplifiers. With an output of 400 watts, it can deliver ample power to control
the powerful 8” driver – even at high levels. The BW-3 is equipped with a
long-throw driver mounted in an extremely compact enclosure. For the driver to
work in such a compact cabinet, with only 7 l of internal volume, a custom unit
was designed. The 8” woofer features a massive “motor,” which has an extremely
fast response and high efficiency.
Flexibility in installation
The woofer fits into all types of setups, as the amplifier
module holds the traditional signal controls as well as a bypass switch for
easy and direct connection to Lyngdorf Audio amplifier outputs or to other
audio products, which provides full control of the sub-out connection.
The BW-3 is delivered without feet mounted, as the compact
cabinet design allows for several ways to integrate the speaker with home
décor. With cabinet dimensions reduced to a minimum, the BW-3 can be positioned
standing upright or on its side in order to fit into the available space. This
construction makes it the perfect match for any setup, as a subwoofer for other
speakers in a stereo or home cinema system.

Generating expert take…
Lyngdorf Audio was founded in 2005 by Danish audio innovator Peter Lyngdorf, who brought decades of industry experience to the venture. Lyngdorf's career in high-fidelity began in 1975 as a distributor of home entertainment components, followed by the establishment of HiFi Klubben, a Northern European retail chain, and the creation of DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries) in 1983. This heritage of audio entrepreneurship and technical expertise informed the company's mission to achieve absolute perfection in sound reproduction through advanced research and development.
Lyngdorf Audio specializes in high-end digital amplifiers, preamplifiers, and surround processors built around proprietary technologies including the Equibit digital amplification system and RoomPerfect room correction software. The company is known for pioneering fully digital amplification and for integrating sophisticated digital signal processing into premium audio systems. Their product philosophy emphasizes the transformation of digital audio data directly into optimized speaker-driving signals, eliminating traditional analog conversion stages.
The brand occupies the luxury segment of the high-end audio market, positioning itself among the world's most sophisticated audio manufacturers. This positioning was solidified in 2007 when Steinway & Sons, the legendary piano maker, granted Lyngdorf exclusive rights to develop audio systems under the Steinway Lyngdorf brand name. Today, Lyngdorf Audio operates as part of the broader Steinway Lyngdorf portfolio, serving discerning audiophiles and professionals who prioritize cutting-edge digital technology and meticulous sound reproduction over conventional amplification approaches.
