INTRODUCTION TO THE MODEL C MUSIC SYSTEM 

Safety Warnings 

Physical Handling 

The Model C components – especially the loudspeaker systems – are very heavy and large. They can 

be difficult to handle. Follow all instructions for unpacking and installation. Use ergonomically correct 

body positions. Be careful not to unbalance the large speaker systems during handling. Steinway 

Lyngdorf cannot be held responsible for any physical damage which occurs during the installation 

process. 

 

Electrical Safety 

The Model C system must be connected to the mains power system using the supplied power cables 

only. The mains voltage has been factory set according to your territory (115 or 230 V). The voltage 

setting can only be changed by an authorized technician. Use only mains power cables and power 

plugs approved by Steinway Lyngdorf. Otherwise you may cause damage to the electronics and 

infringe the warranty. Use only link cables – CAT-5E – approved by Steinway Lyngdorf. Using non-

approved cables, for instance with improper shielding, represents a major risk of violating EMC and 

FCC rules for harmful noise radiation. 

 
Accessories Included 

In the system accessories box, located in the head unit crate, you will find a complete set of link 

cables for use between head unit, speakers, and boundary woofers, a measurement microphone, a 

microphone stand, and cable for calibration of the RoomPerfect™ system. For handling during 

installation, several pairs of white gloves have been included in the accessory pack.  

 

Preparing for Cabling 

Steinway Lyngdorf Model C Music System has two pieces of 10 meters (33 feet) of CAT-5E link cable 

and four pieces of 1.8 meter (6 feet) power cable included in the accessory pack.  

 

Home Automation System Integration 

Model C is compatible with home automation systems. The system accessory pack includes a remote 

interface box for wireless transmission of the control signals. The remote interface box contains a RS-

232 interface with 9 pin Sub-D connector. Information about protocol etc. can be obtained from 

Steinway Lyngdorf. 

 

Checking Shipping Monitors on Arrival 

To ensure proper transportation, all crates have Shockwatch and Tip’N’Tell monitors that will detect 

any improper handling. On arrival, check these monitors. If indicators have been activated, always 

accept shipment, note activation on bill of lading, and inspect the crates for potential damage inside.
