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\u003eNew, contoured baffle enclosure design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeeping true to the original F-Series “keyhole” design, the FX enclosure has been updated with a complex radius front baffle, which not only looks pretty cool, it improves cabinet diffraction.\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).\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.

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.

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 on-board DSP, 48 and 36db 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 that of being a “point source” device, which allows better phase coherence between drivers resulting in extremely realistic imaging. Whether upright or laid on its side, the Fluid Coaxial design will perform identically making studio positioning easier and more user friendly.\u003c\/p\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.

As such, it provides outstanding protection for the woofer itself. However, the tweeter needs protection as well, this is why we added a small, steel perforated grille to protect the delicate silk diaphragm of the tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Imaging and Depth\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt's one thing to put high quality speaker drivers in a cabinet with an amplifier and call it a great speaker. But for a transparent reference monitor, that is only the beginning.\u003cbr\u003ePainstaking crossover design and listening sessions were undertaken to optimize not only a flat on-axis frequency response, but a depth of soundstage that has become the hallmark of Fluid Audio monitors.\u003cbr\u003eThis ensures that your mix will not only sound great on your FX speakers, but will translate to speaker systems outside the studio as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracket Mounts on rear panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eM6 screw mounts and included screws enable wall or ceiling mounting using LD Systems SAT WMD 10 bracket.
