F700
Series
Na de eerste statements
van Fyne Audio met de F1 en de F500 serie, was
de tijd rijp voor de introductie van de F700
series. Met het prachtige hout in hoogglans
walnoot, zwart en wit misstaat deze handgemaakte
kleine reus in geen enkele omgeving. Alles in
het ontwerp heeft maar één ding als leidraad:
kwaliteit. Van het gebruikte hout, vanwege de
geringe kleuring, tot aan de vorm van de
behuizing om staande golven tot een absoluut
minimum te beperken. Het speciale wisselfilter
is zelfs cryogeen behandeld om er zeker van te
zijn dat het zich onder alle omstandigheden
gedraagt zoals het bedacht is. De grootste
innovatie die is doorgevoerd is afkomstig uit de
absolute toplijn van Fyne Audio, de F1 serie. In
de F700 Serie is dezelfde cost-no-object
filosofie gehanteerd als in het vlaggenschip met
de introductie van Fyne Audio’s eigen FyneFlute™,
BassTrax™ en IsoFlare™ technologie. De eerste
laat de conussen optimaal bewegen, de tweede
zorgt voor een probleemloos laag en de laatste
is de opnieuw uitgevonden puntbronweergever,
waar de tweeter middenin de woofer gemonteerd
is. Verbind al deze eigenschappen aan elkaar en
vermenigvuldig dat met een oneindig genieten om
een indruk te krijgen wat deze Serie met je
doet. De F700 Serie bestaat inmiddels uit twee
monitors en drie vloerstaande modellen. Mooier
kunnen we het niet maken.
Cabinet
The F700 series’ hand crafted cabinets have a
uniquely sculpted shape designed to appeal to
both the ear and the eye. The curve of each
panel is precisely calculated to diffuse
standing waves, allowing the finest musical
details to shine through, while extensive
internal bracing reinforces the sonic neutrality
of the enclosure. Formed from high density birch
plywood, chosen for its extremely low sonic
colouration, the cabinet construction features a
complex, twin cavity tuning system. Each cabinet
is meticulously built to exacting quality
standards inside and out. Luxury, high gloss
piano lacquer, available in black, white or
walnut veneer, is the finishing touch to the
F700’s sumptuous aesthetic.
Crossover
The F700 series crossover is the result of
sourcing the very best audio components from
around the world and Fyne’s extensive experience
in network design. The result is a crossover of
incredible neutrality, combining low loss
inductors, Claritycap high grade capacitors and
Van den Hul® high purity silver plated internal
wiring to create the cleanest signal path
possible. Every F700 crossover is Deep
Cryogenically Treated. This super-freezing and
slow thawing process relieves microstress in
components, wiring and solder joints, maximising
signal transfer and delivering greater
transparency to the sound. The bi-wired terminal
panel uses gold plated link cables and premium
quality gold plated binding posts. A fifth
terminal is provided for grounding, further
preventing radio frequency interference from
masking fine detail.
Basstrax port
system
Fyne Audio’s flagship BassTrax Tractrix diffuser
bass porting system is integrated into all F700
models. Using a large, downfiring port with a
mathematically derived tractrix profile conical
diffuser creates a true 360 degree LF wavefront.
The result is unrivalled bass integration in any
room, offering the depth and scale of a large,
ported cabinet loudspeaker without the potential
bass bloom caused by typical port/room
interactions. The clever design makes F700
series far less sensitive of room position than
traditional loudspeakers, enabling easy in room
placement for aesthetic or practical reasons.
Driver
Technology
IsoFlare™
point source drivers are at the heart of every
F700 model. Benefitting from Fyne’s Flagship F1
series technology, the IsoFlare units feature a
25mm magnesium diaphragm compression tweeter
mounted coaxially into the heart of a potent MF/LF
driver featuring a rigid multi-fibre cone and
FyneFlute™ roll surround. The high powered
compression HF drivers give true point source
isotropic radiation for unsurpassed imaging and
even frequency response. Neodymium motors with
vented rear chambers and a metal pole piece to
transfer heat ensure outstanding power handling.
Direct output from the diaphragm has been
expertly tuned with an HF waveguide with unique
geometry that proved an incredibly flat
frequency response to over 30kHz. The IsoFlare’s
bass/midrange section and the auxiliary drivers
in the floorstanding models, use Fyne’s
proprietary multi-fibre cone with its extremely
natural sounding midrange and fast transient
attack. The unique FyneFlute roll surround is
shaped to more effectively terminate cone energy,
eliminating unwanted resonances from colouring
bass and midrange microdetail. The massive motor
assembly includes a flux focusing magnet for
increased LF sensitivity, resulting in a driver
that can comfortably deliver the dynamics of
high energy instruments. High power handling and
high efficiency are hallmarks of the IsoFlare
point source design. The F700 series’ potent
200mm and 250mm IsoFlare drivers comfortably
deliver on the promise of live music dynamics
and real world sound pressure levels across the
range.
Plinth
Machined
from billet aluminium, the striking F700 plinth
on the floorstanding models offers unrivalled
stability, easy levelling and a solid platform
for Fyne’s patent pending BassTrax™ LF diffuser.
Twin 8mm thick plates are separated by aluminium
collets that form heavyweight turrets for the
floor coupling spikes and their large, knurled
lock rings. Machined aluminium cups are provided
to protect wooden floors. The lower plate
supports the tractrix cone diffuser part of
Fyne’s patent pending BassTrax porting system.
Finished in satin black and polished aluminium
to complement all three loudspeaker finishes,
the F700 plinth is a work of art in its own
right.
