The new Lyngdorf Audio MXA-8400 is based on the benchmark-setting Purifi Eigentakt Class-D technology, combined with Lyngdorf Audio’s new PowerPerfect power supply design. With 8 amplifier channels the MXA-8400 complements the company’s high-performance multichannel processors Lyngdorf MP-40 2.1 and MP-60 2.1, which decode up to sixteen output channels for immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS-X home cinemas. The MP-40 and MP-60 were recently updated with the latest HDMI 2.1 and Tidal Connect including Dolby Atmos Music.
The MXA-8400 was introduced at the CEDIA 2023 show in Denver, CO, incorporating the highly efficient and advanced power supply PowerPerfect, ultra-low-noise and precise analog input stages, and a sophisticated 4-layer PCB optimized for the best signal purity and grounding.
"The MXA-8400 is the most powerful Lyngdorf amplifier ever, merging the benchmark-setting Purifi technology with our new PowerPerfect power supply resulting in unparalleled performance. The MXA-8400 was designed with Lyngdorf MP multichannel processor owners and home cinema enthusiast in mind, who made an intentional choice to upgrade from integrated AVRs to best-in-class separates, creating the ultimate experience in their home cinemas and media rooms," says Roland Hoffmann, Lyngdorf Audio Product Marketing Director.
The Purifi Eigentakt technology with the innovative and patented Eigentakt ErrorCorrection (EEC) is the result of extensive research by the innovative Danish company Purifi Audio, where Peter Lyngdorf is also a founder and investor. The Class-D amplifiers produce extremely low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at any frequency and any power level, as well as unrivaled low Inter Modulation Distortion (IMD), leading to a highly resolved and stable stereo image unmatched by any amplifier technology or operating class. The result is an incredibly neutral sound performance, with negligible audible noise and no sonic fingerprint at all.
8 amplifier channels with a combined 3.2 kilowatts of output power and even higher peak power represent extremely high challenges for the power supply, which is often a limiting factor with common multichannel amplifiers. PowerPerfect by Lyngdorf Audio is a new, highly efficient, and advanced power supply. With its Channel Balancing Technology, integrated filtering, and several protection systems it provides the best basis for each amplifier channel, even with all channels driven.
The MXA-8400 is assembled to the highest quality standards at Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark, where each unit has to pass a 24-hour test with all channels driven and must be measured to meet all specifications. Production has already started at Lyngdorf Audio in Skive, Denmark, with the first products scheduled to be available in November 2023.
"The MXA-8400 is uniquely able to offer an exceptional solution to both the installer or home cinema enthusiast who needs reliable, powerful multichannel amplification, and at the same time a top-performing HiFi product to be used in pure audio setups. With the very efficient power supply and a state-of-the-art amplifier stage, the MXA-8400 encapsulates what Steinway and Lyngdorf products stand for - high performance and extraordinary experiences," says Thomas Birkelund, Lyngdorf Audio CEO and CTO.
