Fluid Audio FX80V2

The most striking feature of the FX series is the coaxially integrated tweeter, which is not - as is often the case - a horn, but a dome tweeter. And the computer-calculated housing shape not only looks extremely cool, but also significantly optimises the dispersion characteristics of the FX80.

Coaxial driver

In the centre of the 8" woofer is a 1.2" silk dome tweeter. The unique design in this price segment creates a point sound source - in principle without disturbing phase deviations or overlapping of the individual drivers. The frequency response of the FX80 ranges from 35 Hz to 22 kHz

DIP switch for boundary compensation

In many (home) studios, space is at a premium, which can have an unfavourable effect on the acoustics. The FX80 is therefore equipped with EQ switches that can be used to control the influence of acoustically difficult rooms as well as the resonances of a wall directly behind the speakers. Users will find important information about the function of the DIP switches on the rear panel, and their function is described in detail in the operating instructions.

Class D and DSP-controlled

The "Class D" power amplifier of the FX80 always delivers a clean and constant performance and sufficient headroom. The integrated high-performance DSP takes care of the digitally controlled crossover, resulting in extremely consistent sound reproduction. This makes the FX series reference monitors the perfect solution for demanding home and professional recording studios.

LED display on the front baffle

The LED on the front panel not only provides information about the on/off/bypass status of the FX monitor, but also helps with the precise alignment of the speakers at ear level.

Front slot port design

The bass reflex port maximises the bass efficiency of the speaker. The front arrangement not only provides a more direct radiation of the bass energy to the listener, but also allows the monitor to be set up close to the wall, which makes it much more flexible when it comes to placement options in the studio.

Optimised tweeter protection

The coaxial design with the tweeter mounted in the centre in front of the woofer makes the FX80 extremely robust. The woofer is therefore already equipped with a "protective shield". However, as the tweeter also needs to be protected, it has a small perforated grille in front of the sensitive silk cone.

Imaging and bass response

High-quality drivers in a solid housing form the basis for transparent reference monitors, but only extensive listening tests and meticulous calibration of the crossover make this monitor a reliable working tool with absolutely precise bass response - and therefore a genuine Fluid Audio speaker. A mix created on the FX80 will never disappoint on other audio systems.
