Fluid Audio Coaxial series (FX50)

The specialist's opinion

F Series Introducing our new FX series of coaxial studio monitors. Keeping true to the original ''keyhole'' design, the FX enclosure has been updated with a complex radius front baffle, which not only looks pretty cool, it improves cabinet defraction. Coaxial driver Mounted in the center of the woofer is a 25mm silk dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration. Using this technology (unique in its price range) makes it a ''point source'' device, meaning that all the sound emanates from a single point - not points that are 10'' apart. This is crucial for improving off-axis response, but also allows for a more compact footprint cabinet. Boundary compensation DIP switches Sometimes the spaces where we mix aren't the most forgiving acoustically (especially if you're in a home studio). The FX series monitors come equipped with boundary control EQ switches, that allow you to compensate for spaces that may not have been ''tuned'' or just need to be adjusted due to their proximity to the wall behind them. There is also a guide conveniently printed on the rear panel to show how the DIP switches work, and a more detailed explanation in the user guide. Class D and DSP powered Another update from the Fader Series is Class-D amplification. More clean, reliable power, more headroom, and also a standalone powerful DSP integration. The digitally controlled crossover makes each speaker more consistent. The new FX series is truly a 21st Century reference monitor at home in any recording studio. LED indicator on front baffle The illuminated LED on the front panel is not only a status indicator, displaying whether the FX monitor is on, off or in standby, but also acts as an alignment beacon which allows you to properly align your speakers to your ear level.
