Lyngdorf MP-40 2.1

Surround sound processor

The MP-40 2.1 multichannel processor from Lyngdorf Audio offers the same sonic qualities and performance of the flagship processor, the MP-60 2.1, in a streamlined design for smaller immersive or surround sound home cinemas where less decoding channels are required. The MP-40 2.1 features 12 native channel decoding and 16 balanced audio outputs and offers full support of the immersive surround formats DOLBY ATMOS®, DTS:X® and AURO-3D® as well as 8K and 3D video, HDCP 2.3, and advanced HDMI switching. Ease of installation and user-friendly features are complemented with a simplified feature, allowing the chance for one to experience the performance that Lyngdorf Audio is famous for without all the bells and whistles.

State-of-the-art HDMI processing

With three HDMI inputs and two outputs, the MP-40 2.1 supports HDMI 2.1 including eARC, Dynamic Lip-Sync and QMS (Quick Media Switching) as well as the latest decoding and post-processing formats. It supports 40 Gbps fixed rate link (FRL) and 18 Gbps transition minimized differential signalling (TMDS) video rates, Variable refresh rate (VRR), Quick Frame Transport (or Fast Vactive), and auto low latency mode (ALLM) support and high dynamic range (HDR) metadata pass-through for HDMI dynamic HDR, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision™. eARC will allow for a full Dolby Atmos audio bitstream being returned to the processor from the television, ensuring full audio quality from the TV’s built-in media players.

Media player and RoomPerfect™

The MP-40 2.1 processor is intuitive to use and offers extraordinarily easy installation. It decodes up to 12 native audio channels, which can be mapped out intelligently through the sleek website interface. The MP-40 2.1 offers full support of the latest immersive surround formats including Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X® Pro and AURO-3D®.

The MP-40 2.1 features a built-in media player, which connects to services like Spotify, Airplay, UPnP, and Roon as well as internet radio. Through a cabled network or USB connector, you can access your FAT32 based library of music and enjoy it in stereo or up-mixed on a surround sound format.

The MP-40 2.1 is equipped with Lyngdorf Audio’s proprietary RoomPerfect™ calibration technology, the world’s most sophisticated technology for adapting the sound system to the environment. The RoomPerfect™ calibration ensures a perfect surround sound experience in nearly any installation environment, reducing or even eliminating bulky bass traps and other expensive acoustic treatment.

Control the MP-40 2.1 with an app

The My Lyngdorf App gives you full control of your MP-40 2.1 from your phone or tablet. Adjust inputs, volume, RoomPerfect settings, and Voicings with an intuitive, icon-based interface. You can even personalize the app layout and explore internet radio with smart search filters.

Available for free on iOS and Android.

Dead silent & Custom voicings

The MP-40 2.1 has no forced cooling, so you will never hear any noisy fans. If used with the Lyngdorf SDA-2400 power stages, which don’t have fans either, you will have a dead silent system, where you can enjoy everything from the faintest details to the loudest bangs with full dynamics and realism.

The built-in voicing tool allows you to customize up to 32 voicings. This allows you to cater to your personal preferences by changing the overall tonality of the system and dedicating voicings to each input of the MP-40. The voicing tool can also be used to compensate for a poor sounding recording. Each unique voicing can consist of up to eight filters with adjustable frequency, gain and Q, all controlled through the browser interface showing the effect of each filter as well as the overall effect to the tonality.

"There are a number of options available on the market for those looking at separate processor and power amp setups, and the Lyngdorf is a compelling choice. While it has fewer decoder channels, inputs and connections than the MP-60, it doesn’t skimp on performance, offering the same as the MP-60 but in a smaller package."

"The Lyngdorf MP-40 is a superb AV Processor that offers incredibly good performance at a reasonable price point in the market, and I think it deserves a Best in Class accolade."

"There are not many times when auditioning audiovisual equipment that you feel you have just walked into undiscovered territory, but on this occasion the description seems to be apt. If this processor shows us two things, first it’s that dialogue, music and effects can be achingly real and beautiful; and second that bass doesn’t have to be invasive, aggressive or removed, but can be subtle, powerful, warm and integrated. It also proves that while this box is not cheap at $9,500, there is a world out there that doesn’t necessarily mean increasing budgets automatically equal diminishing returns. If you can afford it, get one."
