INTRODUCTION
The MP-60 is an advanced Surround Sound, Preamplifier / Processor with full support of the latest Dolby®
Atmos, DTS:X PRO and Auro-3D® surround sound formats. The processor can decode 16 discrete channels
from the source and features 16 balanced XLR outputs for the discrete channels or additional subwoofer
outputs. Whatever your setup is, the MP-60 will provide the optimal performance due to its bass-
management and room correction system, RoomPerfect™.
Both Dolby, DTS and Auro provides modes for processing legacy surround formats or for upmixing the
sound into all your speakers. This is referred to as POST PROCESSING, and it can be set on a Source or
controlled from your remote control. New on the MP-60 is the DTS Virtual:X, which can create a virtual
surround sound experience from a simple stereo setup.
The MP-60 will support any setup from the simplest STEREO setup to the most advanced 3D surround
setup, and we have made great efforts for having a simple user interface, where all settings are displayed
and arranged for easy installation.
Optional modules will allow for digital integration with the most advanced media sources and/or digital
distribution of the output signals (Ref.: AES3 or AES67 formats).
Please read through this manual for understanding the functions available – or as later reference.

SETUP
The SETUP screen refers to all basic settings and option in the installation of the processor.
Source Setup
In the Source menu, you will find a list related to the input connectors. This register is though very flexible as
a Source can be specified to use individual inputs for audio and video. This means that several sources can
relate to the same input connectors – and vary in relation to the content, like ‘Action Movie’ and ‘Music Video’
being identical in connections, but differ in Post Processing setting, Voicing filter and trigger action.
Add / Edit Source

Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 – Owner’s manual 16
Speakers and Room
You need to configure the MP-60 according to your speaker setup, setting the sizes of the speakers, so that
the Bass Management function can optimize the overall performance. In the setup page the connectors will
be highlighted with information as to signal type.
In the web interface the designation of the output can be grey text instead of white to
indicate that these outputs are not native but generated by the processor.
The purpose of the speaker setup is to tell the system which speakers and subwoofers are available and
how big they are, which in turn reveals how much bass the speakers are capable of reproducing (Bass cutoff
frequency). The bass for each speaker channel is directed to the optimal subwoofer(s) connected.
References to “speakers” in this document are specific to satellite or full-range speakers and do not include
subwoofers. As factory default the MP-60 is displaying a 7.1 speaker configuration as shown below:
The setup page is an overview of the possible speaker outputs, which you can activate.

Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 – Owner’s manual 17
In order to correct the setup, you press EDIT CONFIGURATION, and by selecting each speaker or
subwoofer, you can specify size/bass cutoff and level
Always SAVE the corrected setup before choosing another menu

Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 – Owner’s manual 18
A single (mono) subwoofer must be set as LFE subwoofer – no matter where you position it in the room
Sub Right and Sub Left is used in combination only, as it is used for a stereo setup – but you can activate
both the LFE subwoofer and the Sub Right/Sub Left, which will direct the LFE signal to the dedicated
subwoofer and direct the bass from the speaker channels to the Right and Left subwoofers.
LFE Channel cutoff
LFE (Dolby, Low Frequencies Effects) is an individual audio channel for bass effects, where some movies
include frequencies higher than the originally specified 120 Hz. Where the settings for speakers cut bass
frequencies to send them to the subwoofer(s), the LFE channel cutoff will cut direct frequencies higher than
the setting and direct it to the front speakers. Apart from the standard settings you can create your custom
cutoff setting.
The MP-60 can decode up to 16 channels (including the LFE, Low Frequencies Effects), and the system will
inform you, if you try to activate more speakers than the MP-60 can process – or is trying to make a setup,
which cannot be handled due to the limitations set by Dolby, DTS or Auro. An error message will appear!
The errors could be:

Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 – Owner’s manual 19
Error trying to activate one or two rear surround speakers without any side surrounds. The initial surround
sound speakers must be a pair of side surround speakers (LS & RS) – no matter where you position them.
Error trying to activate top or height speakers without the lower level speakers. features side surrounds for
optimal integration (LS, HS speakers). If you only can position surround speakers in the ceiling, these must
be designated as lower level surround speakers, as you are not creating a 3-dimensional sound field.
Note: If you set the Center speaker to ‘None’, the MP-60 will automatically route the
dialogue from the center channel into the Left and Right speakers.
As a rule of thumb, don´t make changes if you are not familiar with the consequences, and always make
Dialog boxes for speaker option
Speaker Size
When selecting a speaker size, you set the bass-cutoff frequency, and the signal information below this
frequency will be sent to the subwoofer(s). By selecting CUSTOM, you can specify the cutoff frequency
directly.
Gain
If this specific speaker is significantly lower in level compared to the other speakers, you can increase the
gain to match the overall level. This ensures, that the subsequent RoomPerfect™ calibration will run
perfectly. (highest and lowest speaker levels are then within optimal recording levels)

Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 – Owner’s manual 20
Amplifier Delay
In case you pass this speaker through an amplifier or subwoofer with internal processing, you need to
compensate for this by entering the relevant delay in milli-seconds.
Note:
A simple D/A conversion will normally take around 0.5 ms, whereas a subwoofer with internal DSP
processing (Room Correction) could delay the signal by around 2 ms or more). The delay is the same, if the
DSP filters are activated or not. We recommend that you do not activate room correction software in the
subwoofer.
Use Natural Roll-Off
By activating the Natural Roll-Off the speaker signal will not be affected by the Bass Cut-Off settings – but a
copy of the bass signal will be directed to the subwoofer(s). This is particularly relevant, if the frequency
limitation of the speaker is close to the Bass Cut-Off frequency.
Use Bi-Amping
This setting is available for the Left and Right front speakers only (LF and RF). This will copy the signal to
these speakers to a pair free outputs (if available), why you can use two amplifier channels to power each of
these speakers.
Dolby Enabled Speakers
This function refers to a setup, where the front and/or side speakers are with an up-firing speaker to imitate a
ceiling speaker. Dedicated speakers for this purpose will feature a cue filter, and these channels will not be
included in the RoomPerfect™ calibration.
