This is crucial for improving off-axis response, but also allows for a more compact footprint cabinet. Another benefit of coaxial studio monitors is phase coherence, which greatly improves sound clartiy and imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoundary compensation DIP switches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes 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 DSP controlled 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass D and DSP powered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FX50v2 is a Class-D bi-amplified studio monitor.Class-D benefits are clean, reliable power, more headroom, less power consumption and heat. It also employs a powerful DSP standalone integration. The digitally controlled crossover makes each monitor more even and consistent. The new FX series is truly a 21st Century reference monitor at home in any recording studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLED indicator on front baffle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eV2 Improvements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have listened to the constructive feedback from our customers and implemented a few improvements to the FX series. The biggest being a general flatting of the frequency response. We uncovered a few more EQ biquads and applied them to areas that could use flattening. The result is a more even response, optimum for mixing. The other improvement is updating the panel artwork to be a little bigger and clearer to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal for Modern Studio Workflows\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FX50v2 is designed for creators, producers, mix engineers, and immersive audio workflows that demand accurate imaging in compact spaces.

This design effectively used the woofer’s cone as the wave guide, or horn. Since the woofer’s cone is constantly moving (sometimes dramatically as it plays bass frequencies), there is a significant amount of intermodulation distortion and audible smearing that happens as the high frequency radiates off the woofer’s cone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coaxial design of the Fluid Audio FX series places the high frequency device in front of the woofer, secured to a fixed post. The tweeter is mounted in a hard plastic wave guide that allows the high frequencies to flow uninterrupted, so there is no audio smearing from the woofer’s movements. By using the onboard DSP, 48 and 36 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley slopes not only perfectly blend the low and high frequencies, but are also used to filter out acoustic anomalies inherent in coax designs (as the tweeter does not have a full-size baffle to radiate from). In addition to these unique benefits, users get all the other known benefits of a coaxial driver: symmetrical off-axis response, which creates a bigger, more even and consistent sweet spot, and true point-source behavior, allowing better phase coherence between drivers resulting in extremely realistic imaging. Whether upright or laid on its side, the Fluid Coaxial design performs identically, making studio positioning easier and more user friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row_1_tb_body et_pb_row et_block_row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column_2_tb_body et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_post_content_0_tb_body et_pb_post_content et_pb_module\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et-l et-l--post\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_builder_inner_content product\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_section_0 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_flex_section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row et_block_row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column_0 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_block_row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront-loaded slot port design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass-reflex slot port tunes the cabinet to maximize the bass output efficiency of the speaker.
