On November 29, 2023, Barco hosted the Barco Bragi CS Projector Tasting, the king of 5K widescreen home projectors. Dani (China) provided a full set of audio equipment for this tasting event. The preamp is based on the Lyngdorf MP-40 with Lyngdorf Audio's proprietary RoomPerfect calibration technology. The Lyngdorf MXA-8400 amplifier with 400W per channel is used to drive the main DALI Epicon 6, plus three SDA-2400 amplifiers to drive the center channel DALI Epicon Vokal and the DALI Sub K-14 subwoofer.
Product Introduction. Preamp: Lyngdorf MP-40
The Lyngdorf Audio MP-40 surround sound processor is compact, easy to install, and function-friendly.

Swipe left and right to display the cover and signal resolution. The Lyngdorf Remote app is available for free on iOS and Android devices**.
Amplifier: Lyngdorf MXA-8400
The MXA-8400 is based on the unrivaled and iconic Purifi Eigentakt technology combined with Lyngdorf Audio's new PowerPerfect power supply design. The MXA-8400 has 8 amplifier channels and can be used with the high-performance multi-channel processor Lyngdorf MP-40 21 and MP-60 21 Together, these processors can decode up to sixteen output channels for immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS-X home theater.
The MXA-8400 is Lyngdorf Audio's most powerful amplifier ever, delivering 8 x 400 watts of ultra-linear and stable power. It features Purifi Eigentakt amplifier technology, Lyngdorf Audio's highly efficient and advanced PowerPerfect power supply, ultra-low noise and precise analog input stages, and a complex 4-layer PCB optimized for optimal signal purity and grounding. With this set of features, the MXA-8400 sets new standards in audio quality, performance, and reliability.
The MXA-8400 is assembled to the highest quality standards at Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark, and each unit must be tested for 24 hours with all channels working and measurements must be taken to meet all specifications. This ensures the ultimate performance and maximum reliability.
Amplifier: Lyngdorf SDA-2400
The versatile SDA-2400 digital stereo power amplifier not only features analog and digital inputs, but also brings a range of new features to deliver superior performance in a wide range of applications.
01 Fits any setup.
In addition to traditional balanced and single-ended analog inputs, it also supports optical digital inputs and coaxial digital inputs. This power amplifier can operate in a traditional stereo or multi-channel setup, while also serving as a powerful companion device for stand-alone *** and streaming devices with integrated volume control. When using a digital connection, there is no interference or noise from the outside world. The digital inputs use a Wolfson WM8804 PLL transceiver for good dynamic performance and improved clock jitter tolerance.
02 Smart Power Supply.
The SDA-2400 automatically goes into standby mode when not in use. The amplifier turns on automatically when it detects a signal. You can set it to always-on, and if your connected device has a 12V trigger output, you can use it to control the power state of the SDA-2400, or even daisy-chain several SDA-2400 amplifiers.
03 Digital magnification.
Lyngdorf is a pioneer in the field of digital amplifiers, and the SDA-2400 power amplifier is not the typical Class-D digital power amplifier, but rather a refinement. With extremely low linear distortion and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, this power amplifier is ideal for users looking for the purest sound quality in the market. The output stage uses patented pulse-width modulation and switching speed optimization. This, combined with a fixed switching speed of 390 kHz and minimal feedback control, gives it low linear distortion compared to typical Class D amplifiers.
Main speaker: Dali Epicon 6
The Epicon 6 features a revolutionary hybrid tweeter (ribbon + filament) design, two 6-inch woofers and a unique linear drive magnetic circuit system, making the Epicon 6 break the many sound limitations of traditional speakers and deliver beautiful sound performance.
The Epicon 6 uses a "two-and-a-half" crossover structure, which means that it is equipped with an additional woofer to output sound below 600 Hz. At the same time, for the output of the highest frequency, Epicon 6 also applies a hybrid tweeter module design, on the basis of the soft dome filament membrane unit, the integration of aluminum ribbon tweeter, so that this speaker has a "two-and-a-half + half-way" crossover structure.
The meticulously crafted front baffle is CNC milled to widen the distance between the seven fixing screws and ensure the free flow of airflow behind the woofer. This design helps to reduce losses and improve the accuracy of synchronization time. The various surfaces of the EPICON 6 cabinet are glued together from 6 layers of MDF and are firmly fastened to a 53 mm multi-layer keel (the keel material is MDF). This completely eliminates the influence of standing waves, and also gives the sound quality a delicate and clear original appearance.
The double-layered front baffle is up to 33 mm thick and ensures that the woofer and tweeter release energy in the form of sound energy rather than vibration. In addition, the front baffle has a beautiful appearance and soft lines, further creating a first-class acoustic environment. The interior of the Epicon 6 cabinet is made up of two woofers of the same size, which are able to fully coordinate the two completely independent woofers, so that the tuning frequency in the cabinet is exactly the same. At the back of the cabinet, close to the bass, there are two bass inverters, which are tapered at both ends to reduce vibration.
The crossover is mounted in a compartment at the bottom of the cabinet to ensure that variable sound pressure in the cabinet does not affect the operation of the crossover.
Center speaker: Dali Epicon Vokal
Generally speaking, 50% of the sound energy in a film is provided by the center channel speaker, and Epicon Vokal can do that. Perfect timbre matching, with unreserved restoration of every detail of the original sound during recording, are the two main features of the Epicon series. Dani has created this Epicon Vokal speaker specifically for the reproduction of real human voices.
Dani's exclusive linear drive magnetic circuit system marks a new technological breakthrough in the field of sound design, eliminating the four major distractions caused by the power drive system. A new soft magnetic composite (SMC) material is used in the part of the magnetic circuit system close to the voice coil, so that the magnetic flux intensity in the groove is constant.
Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) materials also allow the magnetic circuit system to behave linearly over different frequency ranges, effectively eliminating phase transitions caused by forces generated by the propulsion system. Several aluminium rings are installed near the center column of the magnetic circuit system, which significantly reduces and stabilizes the inductance of the voice coil and keeps it constant at various points of the voice coil stroke, thus ensuring that the voltage generated by the amplifier can be optimally converted into current and passed through the voice coil.
The Epicon Hybrid Tweeter module used by Epicon Vokal is one of the features of this center channel. Specially developed for the Epicon series, the new soft dome filament tweeter is fixed to a sturdy aluminium die-cast base plate together with the ribbon driver, and each driver is equipped with a protective housing to protect the treble from resonant sound waves. As a result, the entire tweeter is completely free from the effects of acoustic vibrations in the box.
Subwoofer: Dali Sub K-14F
This ingenious subwoofer is centered on a 14-inch aluminum long-excursion woofer, with a 500-watt Class D power amplifier, with strong power and precise control to restore the sound quality, making the movie more shocking and beautiful. You can connect this subwoofer to an amplifier via the LFE input or Line-Out port. Then all you have to do is experience the bass power of the mountains!
