    The TDA 2200 is available in two versions: one for 115V mains voltage and another for 230V mains voltage. Check the label on the TDA 2200 rear panel and verify you have the version with the proper voltage for your area.

  • Page 9: Introduction

    Congratulations on your investment in the Lyngdorf Audio TDA 2200 with RoomPerfect™ The TDA 2200 is more than just a very good high-end amplifier, one that’s exceptionally pure and natural sounding with even the most ‘demanding’ speaker loads. It also happens to be a completely unique Digital Control Centre.

    However, if the distance isn’t identical and/or you are using a subwoofer or a Lyngdorf Audio 2+2 system, you can set a delay in order to ensure that the sound from each loudspeaker reaches the listening position simultaneously.

    Pressing Menu again exits the menu without changing the current settings. The PC software must know the address of the TDA 2200 in order to communicate with it. The Comm Speed setting is the RS232 Link interface speed. The default setting is 57600 baud.

  • Page 18: Trigger Set-Up

    Remote Control set-up makes it possible to activate or de-activate the remote control. This is useful in set-ups with more than one TDA 2200 amplifier in the room. The master amplifier then becomes the only one receiving signals from the remote, processes them and controls the rest of the TDA 2200’s over the Lyngdorf RS232 link.

  • Page 19: Volume

    j. Volume The sub menus accessible in the Volume menu are: • Def. Volume • Max. Volume The Default Volume setting controls the default volume at start-up and can be set from 0 to 99 dB. However, a setting over 88 is not recommended as this corresponds to max output with full scale digital input.

  • Page 20: Advanced Set-Up

    • Software version • Default As default a TDA 2200 is set as a Slave. The Master setting should be used if you are using two TDA 2200, e.g. for bi-amping or if using one to drive the main loudspeakers and one to drive the (sub)woofer(s).

    Nevertheless, it’s a challenge that has been met in the Lyngdorf Audio-developed and patented RoomPerfect™ system. The main task of RoomPerfect™ is to learn the 3-dimensional acoustical properties of a room, by combining room measurements with measurements at the listening positions (Focus).

  • Page 22: The Guided Set-Up - A Quick Guide

    The Guided Set-up – a Quick Guide The RoomPerfect™ menu is found under the TDA 2200 main menu. If you have just turned on your TDA 2200, press MENU to enter the TDA 2200 main menu. Thereafter press enter to enter the RoomPerfect™ menu.

  • Page 23: Setting The Measurement Volume Level

    b. Setting the measurement volume level The measurement volume – also called the calibration volume – is a recommended maximum volume. It is important that you always judge whether the measurement volume is too loud. The calibration volume should not be so loud that it causes:- 1.
  • Page 24 The test signal will start and shortly thereafter the TDA2200 will suggest an initial estimate of the desired maximum calibration volume (in dB). Please raise or lower the volume towards the desired maximum volume shown on the display but ensure you avoid clipping, uncomfortably loud levels and damage to the loudspeakers.

  • Page 25: Focus Measurement

    c. Focus Measurement When the calibration is OK, press enter to start the measuring process and the following message will be displayed. Each measurement comprises four steps: a low and a high frequency measuring signal first in the left and then in the right channel. The length of each measurement depends on a combination of the measurement volume, set in the calibration process, and the background noise in your local environment.

  • Page 26: Room Measurements

    d. Room Measurements The number of room positions needed depends on the value of RoomKnowledge, if it is below 90% after the third measurement the guide automatically includes extra room measurements until a RoomKnowledge of 90% or more has been achieved. The remaining measurements are to be placed in random positions in the room with random orientations of the microphone.

  • Page 27: Adding More Room Measurements

    If it is an error that needs correcting, then correct the error (see RoomPerfect™ trouble- shooting) and proceed with the room position measurement by pressing enter. The measurement has ended successfully when the last measuring signal stops and the display shows the following. This process is repeated at least three times and until the RoomKnowledge reaches 90%.

  • Page 28: Calculation Of Focus 1 And Global Filters

    The above will be displayed when exiting a successfully completed guided set-up. Choose No if you wish to exit the guided set-up without calculating any room correction filters, without saving the performed measurements and without setting the calibration volume. Choose Yes to save the results of the guided set-up and calculate the focus and the global room correction filters.

  • Page 29: Roomperfect™ Advanced Menu

    10. RoomPerfect™ Advanced Menu This section describes the options in the advanced menu. Here you can select position, add new listening positions and room measurements, check the RoomKnowledge of your current set-up, and check the RoomCorrection for the different filters. a.
  • Page 30 The saved calibration volume from the guided set-up is used as a default when adding extra focus/listening and room positions though, as mentioned, the volume can be changed at any time between measurements to suit a particular situation. After a successful measurement the following message is displayed. The value of Roomknowledge can be different.

  • Page 31: Adding A New Room Position

    c. Adding a New Room Position It is always possible to add more room measurements, which can increase RoomKnowledge and thereby fine tune all the room correction filters. Press enter to start a new room measurement. As previously described, place the microphone correctly in a random room position and the measurement can commence.

  • Page 32: Roomknowledge Index

    Choose Yes to save the performed room measurement and No to exit without saving any of the performed measurements. Adding one or more room measurements leads to a re-calculation of all filters (i.e. Global and all Focus filters) due to the fact that more of room’s acoustic properties have been learned, something that affects all filters.

    placement in frequency of the processing. For low values (below 10%) of the room correction index, only subtle correction is needed to the original sound in the room. With high room correction index values more extensive processing is employed. The RoomCorrection index for a specific RoomPerfect™ filter shown above can be viewed by pressing the numerical button of the corresponding filter.

  • Page 34: Roomperfect™ Troubleshooting

    12. RoomPerfect™ Troubleshooting a. No microphone connected This is displayed when no microphone is connected to the TDA2200. Solution: Connect the microphone on the right-hand side of the back panel. b. Fault - No signal The error message shown above is displayed when the incoming signal is classified as pure noise.

  • Page 35: Fault - Signal Clipping

    c. Fault - Signal clipping The above error message is displayed when the incoming signal is classified as too loud resulting in clipping (distortion). An overly loud measuring signal results in this error message. Solution: Lower the measuring signal volume before continuing with the measurement. A loud noise from the local environment that has corrupted the measurement results in this error message.
