STEINWAY CUSTOM MARINE SPEAKERS FOR A CROATIAN YACHT

HiFi gets adapted to some very specialist situations, probably non more specialist than on a yacht, with the very particular challenges that conditions on a boat bring.

A customer of Steinway Lyngdorf partner TD Elektronika, in Croatia, wanted to upgrade the HiFi system on his yacht. He had tried different HiFi solutions but was disappointed with the sound, needing an effective solution for an open space, where the speaker must have durability and be able to withstand the different conditions on a yacht, TD Elektronika suggested Steinway Lyngdorf.

THE STEINWAY & SONS CUSTOM MARINE SPEAKER

The Steinway & Sons Marine Speaker is usually available with a gold trim, but for this installation in Croatia, has been customised with chrome. The sealed aluminium enclosure has a special lacquering, and the drive-units are protected against salt water, spray water, splash water, and other weather conditions, with an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use and near swimming pools, and of course, on yachts.

The system was completed with a Steinway & Sons P100 processor and an A2 amplifier.

Damir Vukobratovic, Owner of TD Elektronika said: “There are no other high-quality solutions for yachts, and this is a huge market, where quality is key. This is exactly, where the Steinway brand has its strength, and the Marine Speaker is perfect in this market.”

HiFi PiG Says: Outdoor HiFi requires specialist products, on a yacht, the challenges of bad weather and salt water make things even more difficult, really interesting to see this solution from Steinway Lyngdorf.
