2-way active monitor (piece)

The studio monitors of the new FPX series (“Fader Pro Coax”) from Fluid Audio are based on the popular Fader monitors. The first model of the new series is the FPX7. The active studio monitor is equipped with optimised class AB amplifiers, special ring magnet woofers and ribbon tweeters that ensure a fundamentally honest and accurate sound experience when monitoring.

Thanks to their ultra-fast response, the AMT ribbon tweeters deliver a level of detail and depth that has yet to be seen in professional studios – especially at this price range. The FPX7 features a specially designed dual driver, sometimes referred to as “coaxial”, which is the first time it has been used in this form in a studio monitor.

Coaxial drivers, as found in world-renowned monitors such as the Manley ML10, sound great because all frequencies from the tweeter and woofer are reproduced from exactly the same position. This is important for accurate dispersion and best phase coherence. The integrated waveguide also ensures a wide dispersion with a wide sweet spot.
