lydsystems

Lydsystems is a fictional technology company described here as a case study of audio processing, signal routing, and loudspeaker management for professional environments. The company focuses on distributed digital signal processing, networked audio, and acoustics simulation to optimize coverage and intelligibility in venues ranging from theatres to broadcast facilities.

Its core product family includes the LydEngine DSP platform, LydNet networked audio protocol, and LydCal calibration and measurement tools. LydEngine provides configurable filters, dynamics, and EQ with low-latency operation; LydNet enables scalable, phase-coherent multi-channel routing across installed systems. LydCal integrates measurement data with room models to predict impulse response and guide correction.

Applications include live sound reinforcement, fixed installations, and broadcast facilities. Lydsystems emphasizes interoperability and supports open standards and interfaces, enabling compatibility with most modern digital consoles and integration with other audio networks.

History: Lydsystems was founded in the early 2010s by a cross-disciplinary team and is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with regional operations in Europe and North America. The company has emphasized research and development in acoustics modeling and scalable hardware–software integration.
