The patented BassTrax™ Tractrix Diffuser technology redefines bass performance. By converting downward-firing port energy into a smooth, 360-degree wavefront, it delivers rich, controlled bass that effortlessly fills any room. This clever design minimises the impact of speaker placement, ensuring consistent, immersive sound no matter where you sit. Even in acoustically challenging spaces, the BassTrax system maintains clarity and depth, avoiding the muddiness and boom often caused by traditional ported designs. The result is tight, articulate low frequencies that blend seamlessly with the midrange for a truly balanced listening experience.
The F500S Series features expertly engineered crossovers designed to deliver exceptional sound clarity and detail. Each model incorporates high-quality components, including low-loss laminated core inductors and premium polypropylene film capacitors, to ensure minimal signal degradation. These crossovers are meticulously crafted and computer-optimised, with final adjustments made by ear to achieve a perfectly balanced frequency response. This precise tuning ensures seamless integration between the bass, midrange, and treble drivers, resulting in a natural, immersive soundstage. All but the LCR models also offer bi-wire terminals, allowing for improved signal separation and enhanced audio fidelity, catering to discerning audiophiles.
The F500S Series showcases the latest advancements in Fyne Audio’s renowned IsoFlare™ point source driver technology, delivering precise stereo imaging and consistent sound dispersion across a wide listening area. This upgraded design features a computer-optimised HF waveguide that minimises internal reflections, resulting in a smoother, more balanced frequency response. The F500S Series IsoFlare™ drivers combine neodymium HF magnets with magnesium diaphragms, extending high-frequency performance beyond 30kHz for crystal-clear treble. This cutting-edge technology, once exclusive to high-end models, is now integrated throughout the F500S range. With IsoFlare™ at its core, the F500S Series offers an immersive, high-fidelity audio experience at every level.
IsoFlare technology is the driving force behind the F500S Series, setting these speakers apart with exceptional clarity and precision. This innovative point source driver design allows for a perfectly time aligned sound to disperse evenly in all directions, ensuring a natural, balanced listening experience from any position in the room. The F500S IsoFlare units feature a vented rear chamber to reduce resonance and a lightweight magnesium diaphragm for extended high frequencies and a smoother midrange. Enhanced waveguide engineering improves off-axis performance, making the F500S Series perfect for both music and home cinema systems. The result is stunning soundstage depth, precise imaging, and immersive audio detail.
The F500S Series cabinets are crafted with a perfect blend of aesthetics and performance. Built from high-rigidity MDF for superior rigidity, these enclosures minimise unwanted vibrations, allowing the advanced IsoFlare drivers to deliver optimal sound clarity. Internal bracing enhances structural integrity, reducing resonance and coloration for a purer audio experience. Delivering on its premium experience, the F500S Series comes in 2 luxurious real wood veneer finishes and a sumptuous Piano Gloss Black, offering a look that complements any home décor. For versatile placement, the LCR models can be wall-mounted, while thoughtful details like hidden fixings and magnetic grilles on the floorstanding models ensure a clean, sophisticated design.
