Wednesday, December 10th, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to re-introduce the LSS-161 close field studio monitor, a foundational audio product in Digital Designs history. DD AUDIO has been working on the design and tooling of the components for over two years, refining every aspect and element for the newest version of these high definition bookshelf speakers to bring audiophile excellence to your home, office, or studio.
In the early 1980s, digital audio technologies were quietly reshaping the studio. With cleaner signal paths and a dramatically lower noise floor, recordings began to reveal textures and space. Soft passages breathed, transients rose and fell with intention, and the sound opened into something clearer. The refined dynamic presence in early digital reproductions changed listener expectations, setting the stage for an evolution that would redefine hi-fidelity.
In 1986, a young engineer in San Diego recognized what this shift in sound would demand. He staked his future on a simple philosophy: keep it True to the Source®. From that belief, Digital Designs was born, a company dedicated to building speakers capable of revealing this emerging clarity in full. This philosophy was the starting place in the engineering of the original LSS-161 close field monitor.
The LSS-161 was integral to the early success of Digital Designs, and almost 40 years after its introduction, it’s back, loaded with components based on the new C Series Woofer and Tweeter that are, at every level, high fidelity. In the upper range the tweeters produce a rich, airy feeling that reveals clear detail with every octave. In the midrange the woofers render vocals with distinctly natural and life-like character, while delivering band instruments and samplings with smooth layering. In the lower range you will be stunned by the clean, tight beats and be lulled by the rhythmic transient response.
In the LSS-161 bass reflex cabinet these components will produce musicality without ear fatigue and resolution without edge.
