Description

Improving on our successful FX8, we now introduce the FX80v2. We have taken users feedback and improved on all points. (Wall mountable for Dolby Atmos / Immersive audio).Coaxial driverMounted in the center of the woofer is a 30mm silk dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration. Using this technology (unique in its price range) makes it a "point source" device, meaning that all the sound emanates from a single point - not points that are 10" apart. 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 clarity and imaging.New, contoured baffle enclosure design
Keeping 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.Boundary compensation DIP switches
Sometimes 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.
Class D and DSP poweredThe FX80v2 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.
LED indicator on front baffle
The 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.

A Coaxial Monitor for the 21st CenturyThe Fluid Audio Coaxial speaker design is notably different from traditional coaxial designs. Coaxial studio monitors in the 50's and 60's placed the high frequency driver behind the woofer, "porting" the high frequency through the woofer's voice coil opening. 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.
The 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...
