The Fluid Audio F5 studio monitor series is the next logical step in the development of the affordable, studio-quality speaker for
recording professionals. It’s almost unfair to call it a “budget” monitor because of the many features that set it apart in its class. All of
the features have been carefully chosen because they solve problems that many consumers see with speakers found on the market
today. Spending the time to the get the Fluid Fader 5 sounding right, we set out to create a monitor that is just as comfortable as your
studio mixing workhorse as it is your favorite listening speaker after the session is over.
Our aim is to create your next great set of studio monitors, but also a seamless listening experience – and a more Fluid workflow.
Accuracy and Control
Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or just listening to your favorite CD, your monitors are your primary source of reference. Accurate monitors are an
invaluable tool in your arsenal of music and video production, so you need some assurance that your mixes will translate well to your audience’s
speakers. The Fluid F5 monitors have not only the depth of soundstage and sonic clarity that allow you to hear even the most subtle of reverb trails. The
fader control on the front baffle allows you to adjust the volume of the monitor with
out having to interrupt your workflow to reach behind them.
Advanced Driver Technology
The Fluid Fader 5 monitors feature driver technology that focuses on the details. The composite pulp cones are light and rigid, yet well damped. The
coated silk dome tweeters are mounted in such a way to provide a ultra-flat response usable to 22kHz.
The built-in waveguide provides the tweeter with wide dispersion and an expansive sweet spot. By pushing the tweeter back slightly, it allows it to be
time-aligned with the woofer, resulting in remarkable imaging. Coupled with an optimized front-loaded sl
ot port, the low frequency driver delivers
articulate, dynamic bass response – all in an extremely compact footprint.
“Smart” Amplification
The Class A/B bi-amplified design separately drives the low and high frequency drivers – allowing each to work independently and more efficiently.
Utilizing an external heat sink on the amplifier keeps the heat outside of the enclosure, which allows both the amps and the drivers to operate at
lower temperatures. When speakers are not in being used, an integrated standby function powers down the amplifier to conserve energy.
Combined with phase-optimized crossover networks, the drivers blend to
gether, resulting in a coherent soundstage across the entire audio spectrum.
