Dedicated audiophiles are already aware of the professional sound that the Dynaudio LYD 48 is known to offer. It is no surprise that there were high expectations for the Dynaudio LYD 48.
The right studio monitors are vital to the home studio and any music studio. They allow you to hear the nuances and to “catch” any necessary edits.
Music recording equipment is not complete without the right audio listening equipment. Lets see if the Dynaudio LYD 48 is that right equipment.
The Review.
This 3-way LYD monitor is packed with some of the most wanted features. Here are the basics from the manufacturer’s website:
• Three-way bass reflex speakers
• Freq range: 32Hz to 21kHz
• Output power: LF: 80w, MF 50W, HF 50W
• Max SPL: 112dB
• Crossover frequencies: 490Hz and 5.6kHz
• Tweeter: 28mm soft dome
• Midrange: 4″
• Woofer: 8″
• Controls for Sound Balance, Bass Extension, Input Sensitivity and Position
• Connections: XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced
• Sensitivity: +6 dB: 50mV 0dB: 100mV -6dB: 200mV
• Dimensions (mm): 369x234x328
• Weight (kg): 10.55
It is music technology at its finest, while the technology is important it really is not enough to determine if it sounds the way you want it to sound. You must listen and run through the controls to really get a feel for these.
Once you listen you will get why they are award winning monitors. These are not your average studio monitors. They are the newest in the LYD line and they have been tweaked to perfection.
These monitors are the full package from the 8 in woofer size to the 4-midrange driver the nice lows at 32 hz to the well thought out manual that give you tips and tricks for speaker positioning, this monitor has it all.
The position control helps to bounce off the wall and other anomalies. Sound balance helps to brighten things up in a dead room. Standby mode and more helps you to tweak the sound to perfection for your specific space.
You want to start out by setting everything up at neutral than do a little experimentation to find the perfect setting for the genre and the room.
I set up the speakers in no time flat and started out with a neutral setting, it did not take too long to find the sweet spot.
I found that the mids were bright enough but not as bright as you would expect. The lows rang true as did the highs.
Overall the experience was enjoyable and more importantly it was easy to find that perfect spot that audiophiles, producers and music lovers desire.
The newest feature on these monitors is the midrange driver which really adds balance. I found these to be more well rounded when compared to other monitors in the LYD line.
Overall Conclusion.
The hype is real. These monitors deliver the quality that you expect from Dynaudio and the LYD line. They plowed through every mix and genre and adjusted nicely.
They delivered the true clear sound that music lovers can really appreciate. They were great when it came to make easy adjustments.
I think that they are worth the investment after listening for a while and doing a side by side comparison with some other monitors.
They do exactly what a 3-way monitor should do, they join everything up nicely and put the power where you want it.
Of course, monitoring is a very personal experience and you really must hear them to appreciate them. Check out the video and learn more about these monitors and why I think they are going to fit into your studio nicely!
Leave comments and questions below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Enjoy the review and tell me what you think about the LYD 48’s and what your experience has been like.

Two years later. Are they still great?
They’re impeccable monitors, would highly recommend for a golden setup. Frequency response of these puppies is insane.
Lovely review and totally agree; Dynaudio is really up there with the best and has been extremely transparent in sound for ages. Such a down to earth company with a high technically skilled development department. Putting soo much effort into each single component, which indeed pays off. The fact they went for a 3-way monitor that comes with such a strong price tag, is absolutely amazing. Though their 2-way monitors are a proper choice for most, there's just something unique about a 3-way solution that reminds me of the good old JBL 4410/4412. Couldn't recommend them enough. And it's not because I'm from Denmark .. 😉 Btw LYD is SOUND in danish ...
Agreed on all points! They're amazing speakers for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@consordini6258 You keep those amazing videos coming mate 😉
Your setup is magisterial.
This is the review I needed to see. I’m definitely going to order a pair. Thank you
Thanks for the info. Funny fact, the online vendor I am going to purchase them from has the Left and right identified with the woofer on the outside. I saw your setup and went to the Dynaudio site and saw a video for the 18S confirming the woofers on the inside ...Your video saved me from buying them and posting proud photos only to be told I have them backwards :-D (or maybe its written on the box?) Looking forward to getting them into my studio.
you can position them "backwards" if it suits your room and position better. I have them "backwards" myself and they sound better that way. I use them very closely though. I thin it is actually mentioned in manual that you can use them "backwards" sometimes.
Top review Alex, thanks!
I would love to get the pair, especially as I'm looking for accurate non-fatiguing speakers, but I cannot find a place where I could listen to them :(
Great review! Broke the details down so thoroughly. How would you compare them to the KH310’s? The price jump is significant but would you say it’s worth paying double or do these just perform better?
I also have this Babies in my Studio...,
and i love the Monitors **** They sound so beautiful
and sweet, for every kinf of Music. Have also tested the
smaller but more expensive PSI AUDIO A17-m...,
and have sold them..., they have more Details, no Question
but the overall Experience for Mixing, Mastering, Listening
to Music was a better Experience with the Lyd 48 Speakers.
Much bigger Sound...But iam sure the bigger A21-m shuld
be better because of the bigger Woofer. But the PSI A21-m cost 3x
more than this Pair, and thats the Point (: For the Money
U cant go wrong with the Lyd 48 Monitors, its a Bargain.
Thanks
Thanks for the review. I'm not working in the music industry, and I'm just looking for a 3-way speaker to listen music. Anyway, do you think it is suitable for music appreciation?
How's the hiss?
Ryan Shook
Very cool speaker, but to think, for $400 more per speaker, you could grab a pair of barefoot footprint 02. Have you compared these two models?
If you search for "Dynaudio’s measuring facility" you'll know they are up there with the best.
I saw a comment from a dude that said he would return them because he hears noise from the tweeters
Yes men Dynaudio...very good monitores.
Hey Alex thank you for the review, do you think i could use it also for beatmaking / producing
These speakers are awesome!
How are the LYD 48s holding up 2.5 years later? I've read about longevity issues.

@@RolandsBriedis +1
hey Alex, thanks for this review and for showing us your awesome studio! wow! i want to ask you if you compared these to Amphion one18 or two 15 (those are considered amongst the best for mixing these days but not 3 way), also did you consider ADAM s3H , and Genelec the ones (double the price for 8341 but they go only down to 48 hz).....
2) how close can we sit to these?
look fwd to your response Thankyou
Dynaudio LYD 48 OR Adam A77X ??
Definitely the Dyns. I really don't like ADAM's tweeters. I mixed on A7Xs for years and in retrospect, they were harsh, harsh, harsh. Used to wonder why I would come away from long mixing days with a headache. That was why, lol. Dyns are much sweeter and more accurate to my ear.
amazing review bro thank u
Hi! Very nice review, I love Dynaudio. Do you think these speakers are too big for a 3x4 meters room studio?
Not at all .. if you make sure they have at least half a meter distance to the back wall, you should be fine. Otherwise you''ll have to compensate a little for the bass. Those features are on the back of the speakers, and you'll have to damp your room well; carpet, plants, curtains, diffusors etc., but the easiest is to spend some time with them, listen to those tracks you know well, and you will get a great feel of how they respond.
Are these speakers really that good if so let me do some more research and do so blind test and see what grabs my attention 🤔 😉 😏
Good day. Thanks for the vid. Very informative. Currently on the fence for a set of LYD48's or 2xLYD7 + Sub9s. Any thoughts you could share why one would choose one over the other? Thanks in advance!
I would say that it definitely depends on a) your room and b) the style(s) of music you work on. Smaller room? The LYDs are a great choice. Bigger room? The 7s and a sub is a great choice. Also, if you're working on bass-heavy styles of music (EDM, hip hop, rap) the sub will be a great asset. If not, the bass extension on the LYDs is excellent. Now, I have the LYDs but also use a sub with them because I have a well-treated room and work on just about any type of project imaginable, from jingles to video game sfx to mixing country records. So that's the combo that works for me. But either way, Dyn is a great company that makes great speakers - I don't think you can go wrong.
Dynaudio LYD48 or Focal Twin6?
What did ytou have before them?
Does anyone have an opinion on using these in a home cinema setup. Viewing distance about 10ft. I love Dynaudio active speakers but not sure how suitable they are for home cinema?
Get Xeo 20 if a small room. Or Focus xd 20 if slightly bigger.
Do you think they’re sufficient for professional mastering? Like compared to the usual b&w nautilus 802’s or something similar you find in mastering studios
Consordini Musical instruments i have a pair of HS8’s, plan to get a mixcube, and a sub for the LYD’s. I do everything from recording to mixing and mastering. I’m trying to see with this set up, some LYDs with a sub, and some good headphones if I’ll be able to get pro masters or if I should spend a couple grand more for some more hi fi speakers
They most certainly will not compare to the 802's.
should I get used lyd 48's for a good price vs neumann kh 120's or aps klasik's ?
You are comparing completely different speakers, larger 3 way to a mid size 2 way to a small 2 way. Do you intend to add sub later? If not, I would not get KH 120 as much as it gets better review and considered as higher end than the other two, it has no bass extension.
How many you give for them from 10 ???
Good vid. There really aren't all that many people talking about the LYD48 compared to the EVE and Adam 7 inches. For future reference I believe the Y in DYNAUDIO is pronounced as 'din' not 'dine'. :-)
I am thinking of buying these but I read a review online by a person that there is a lot of white noise from these monitors. Can. you please clarify that and if there is white noise or not really?
Also wondering this. @Consordini ?
you still using these?
Hearing good things about these. Not convinced to drop $2.3K with their mere 2 years warranty. Their passive speakers come with upto 7 years warranty, but these just 2 years, tells me they are not confident about their longevity, even after once pays a decent dollar for them.
For me, warranty wasn't really a factor. I would trust that a brand as storied as Dynaudio would make a speaker capable of working for years without issue. I've had mine going on 4 years, used and ran daily, without a single issue of any kind. They're incredible speakers.
@@consordini6258 Good to know they are running solid for you!
I have the 18S with them and am considering returning the LYD48s and going with the Core 7. Thoughts as the Core are two way 7"s?
Consordini Musical instruments What are your thoughts on the 18S? I think you mentioned you use a sub?
@@cziarno1972 I have LYD48. Sell me the sub if you like :)
Still on the journey of getting the new set of speakers. So I have finished my research and am down to Adam S2Vs, Genelec 8340's or Dyn Core 7's (all with their subs) and then I start watching these Kali videos all over UA-cam and start second guessing everything I am / was doing.. Ugh.... Thoughts on the LYD48's vs Kalis? I was originally looking at the Core 47 but they are too powerful for my desk and I need a sub anyway.. Curious on your thoughts as you are Dyn user.
Hello everybody,
I found Dynaudio lyd48 at a good price and I would like to sell my bm6mk2 and yamaha hs7.
My question is: with only the Dynaudio lyd 48 do I need the yamaha with which I am very well? In fact I also have a third listen: avantone mixcube mono
Thanks!
Yes! But I wanna sell my yamaha cause the Dynaudio are expensive
@@Kosimomusic You'll never return to the Yamaha's after getting the LYD 48. Trust me. They offer soo much more and still got that transparent neutral sound Yamaha is known for. Maybe a little more fat/deep in sound, but you might be able to correct from that. You'll get used to it :)
Do you use them with a sub?
@@consordini6258 I was considering same sub for them. I am just used to sub (having sub many years with different setup). My other choice was some Adam sub. Original Dynaudio 18s is quite expensive. Maybe one day. :)
