Fyne Audio F500
MEET THE F500 SERIES
The F500 series is based around an IsoFlareTM point source drive unit; technology which their Technical Director, Dr. Paul Mills, has had considerable experience with.
Fyne Audio’s technical team, responsible for the audio performance and mechanical build of this type of driver, have many decades of experience between them.
Combining Fyne Audio’s IsoFlareTM driver into a rigid cabinet, with a cleverly designed porting system, ensures optimal in-room performance.
The cabinets are crafted using real wood veneers and are available in choice of dark oak or black oak.
BASSTRAXTM PORT SYSTEM
This models employ an internal, downwards-firing port system. Below the port, a Tractrix profile diffuser (patent applied for) converts plain wave port energy to a spherical 360-degree wave front, integrating energy uniformly into the room.
This clever design ensures that the loudspeaker is less critical of room positioning.
CROSSOVER
Low-loss, laminated core inductors and audiophile-grade polypropylene capacitors are used exclusively throughout the F500 series crossovers.
The result is an exceptionally clean signal path and very low crossover losses, ensuring the very best in detail resolution and musical communication.
HOME THEATRE
The F500 range is as impressive with movies as it is music. FYNE AUDIO’s point source driver technology is ideal for articulating the finest of movie detail with pin-point accuracy. High efficiency and high-power handling means the F500 series delivers an incredibly dynamic and lifelike performance whether you are listening to DTS Master Audio or Dolby True HD
POINT SOURCE TECHNOLOGY
Point source driver technology is not new to Fyne Audio. their technical team, responsible for the audio performance and mechanical build of the driver, have many decades of experience between them.
Their proprietary IsoFlareTM design ensures constant directivity of the wave front generated, providing outstanding stereo imaging, even off axis.
Furthermore, a smooth and extended response is delivered thanks to the highly rigid titanium high frequency diaphragm which pushes the break up mode well above the level of human hearing.
PERFORMANCE
To fully optimise the driver’s performance, every aspect of the meticulous design has been considered.
A vented rear chamber in the Neodymium HF magnet places low frequency resonance well below crossover region.
The unique geometry of the high frequency unit’s waveguide provides a flat frequency response and avoids internal reflections.
To eliminate unwanted vibrations, which would be detrimental to the sound quality, both the point source driver and the supplementary low frequency driver fitted to the floor standing models, are built around a rigid cast aluminium chassis.
Multifibre paper cones are used providing natural sounding midrange and clean transient behaviour. Cone energy is then very effectively terminated using a fluted rubber surround.
An out and out purist audiophile design, the stand-mount F500 utilises a single 150 mm (6″) IsoFlareTM point source driver in a compact, ported cabinet.
Offering precise imaging and intimate detailing, the F500 is ideal for small to medium listening rooms.
Incorporating a down-firing port, bass energy is evenly dissipated into the room with our BassTraxTM Tractrix diffuser system.
The luxuriously finished, contemporary styled cabinet is available in a choice of dark oak or black oak real wood veneer.
Enhancing its aesthetic appeal, it has a gently curved front and rear baffle which additionally benefits the acoustic performance by reducing colouration effects.
