INTRODUCING THE CUE-100
Thank you for purchasing the Lyngdorf Cue-100 loudspeaker.
Designed and made in Skive, Denmark, the Cue-100 is the perfect loudspeaker for audiophile enthusiasts as well as
design-conscious music lovers. The Cue-100 is the first high-end audio loudspeaker merging modern Danish design with
the latest Purifi speaker technology and the outstanding Air Motion Transformer tweeter. The benchmark-setting Purifi
drivers are integrated in a uniquely shaped cabinet, finished in satin black or satin white with solid oak elements, and
optional all-around fabric covers in five colors made by Gabriel® from Denmark.
When using the Cue-100 together with a Lyngdorf amplifier, the RoomPerfectTM technology calibrates the speaker
acoustically to the room, always achieving the best possible sound performance.

UNPACKING THE CUE-100
Unpacking the Cue-100 speaker
1. Move the Cue-100 still boxed in its packaging near the final placement of your listening room.
2. Open the Cue-100 cardboard box on the top, fold all the carboard flaps to the sides, and carefully turn the box 180
degrees upside-down.
3. Lift the carboard box up, remove the upper foam pad, and open the plastic bag on top. Do not remove the speaker
from the plastic bag yet, but keep it protected until the stand assembling is completed.
Check the speaker for shipping damage. Contact both the shipper and your local Lyngdorf Audio representative
immediately if the unit bears any sign of damage.
In some cases, it may be necessary to return the equipment to Lyngdorf Audio or an authorized service provider for

original packing, damage could occur and void the warranty.

ASSEMBLING CUE-100 SPEAKER AND STAND
Mounting the stand to the speaker
1. Keep the Cue-100 placed on its foam pad, using it as a mounting base for the speaker. Open the plastic bag so that
the speaker base and speaker cable terminals are accessible.
2. Switch off your amplifier and attach the speaker cables to the Cue-100 speaker terminals. It can take banana plugs,
spades, and bare wire. Make sure the two wires make not contact to each other. Arrange the speaker cable along
the speaker base’s cable canal to the back of the speaker.
3. Place the black aluminum plate on the speaker’s base and align with the three threaded bushings inside the speaker
base. Fix the base tightly using the three hex socket screws and the hex Allen key supplied.
4. Mount the three oak legs to the black aluminum plate by turning each leg clockwise. Important: Take care of the
correct mounting angle where the stand’s metal thread and the plate’s threaded bushing align with the same angle.
5. Hold the speaker with one hand on one top edge and the other hand below the black aluminum base, and carefully
turn speaker and stand assembly 180 degrees around, placing it on its three stand legs. Important: Be careful not to
touch the tweeter or push the three woofers which are placed on all three sides.

PLACEMENT IN THE ROOM
General advice
Apart from room design, the speaker placement in the room affects the sound performance. As with every
loudspeaker, some care should be taken to achieve the best sound performance.
• The Cue-100 was designed and tuned free-standing in the room on its dedicated stand.
• The Cue-100 has one front-facing and two side-facing woofers. The space around all woofers should be
kept clear, so that the sound can radiate freely.
• The distance from the speaker to the nearest back wall and side wall depends on the overall room
acoustics and sound performance and cannot be determined in cm or inches.
• Start with placing the speakers in a typical stereo triangle where the distance between the speakers is
similar or slightly less than the distance between the listening position and the left or right speaker. The
ideal stereo width and distances can be determined by listening to music, aiming for the most balanced
sound across all frequencies, as well as the best sound staging and imaging between the speakers.
• The Cue-100 can be toed-in slightly towards the listening position. The exact angle of toe-in can be
determined by listening to music, aiming for the most balanced sound and a precise acoustical center
image.
• The best result is achieved when using the Cue-100 together with a Lyngdorf amplifier and its
RoomPerfectTM room calibration. When not using RoomPerfectTM room calibration, the best speaker
position and listening position in the room can be determined by listening to music, aiming for the most
balanced sound across all frequencies.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE FABRIC COVER
Attaching the fabric cover
1. Remove the triangular oak top by pulling and lifting it from the Lyngdorf logo tag.
2. Take the fabric cover in the hand and pull back all the fabric cloth until the triangular plate, its
grey felt underside, and the three magnetic discs are free from the fabric.
3. Place the triangular plate and its three magnetic discs on grey felt on top of the Cue-100 speaker,
with the fabric seam facing the back of the speaker cabinet. Make sure none of the fabric is
jammed between triangular plate and speaker enclosure.
