FYNE AUDIO F700 Series

 

 

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.
