Fluid Audio F8S Active Subwoofer – Black

The Fluid Audio F8S active subwoofer is a versatile and feature-rich device designed to enhance audio experiences in various settings, including recording studios, gaming setups, home theaters, and more.

Exceptional Bass Response:

The F8S subwoofer is designed to provide exceptional bass response, making it well-suited for various types of music genres, from Hip-Hop to House to Rock. This bass extension is crucial for accurately creating and mixing music, as it allows you to hear low-frequency details down to 30Hz.

Compact Footprint:

Despite its powerful bass capabilities, the F8S subwoofer is designed with a compact footprint, which is ideal for setups where space might be limited.

Mix Accuracy:

For mix engineers, the ability to hear their mixes accurately across different systems is crucial. The F8S subwoofer addresses this by providing a standby footswitch. This footswitch allows you to easily toggle the bass on or off, enabling you to audition your mix with and without bass extension. This feature can help you ensure that your mix translates well on various playback systems.

Built-in EQ Settings:

The F8S subwoofer offers two built-in EQ settings. The first is a “Flat” response, which provides a neutral and balanced sound representation. The second is a “Punch” setting, which is specifically tailored for music genres like Dance that emphasize mid-bass frequencies. This flexibility allows you to adapt the subwoofer’s output to different musical styles.

Variable Phase Adjustment:

The subwoofer includes a variable phase adjustment feature. This allows you to fine-tune the phase of the subwoofer to achieve optimal alignment with your left and right monitors. Phase alignment is important for ensuring a coherent and well-integrated sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

Variable Low Pass Crossover Control:

The F8S subwoofer lets you control the low pass crossover frequency, which determines the point at which the subwoofer starts to reproduce lower frequencies. This control (ranging from 50Hz to 200Hz) enables you to seamlessly integrate the subwoofer with your main speakers for a balanced and smooth transition between frequencies.

High Pass Filter:

The subwoofer features an 80Hz high pass filter that can be used with the footswitch. This filter is useful when connecting satellite speakers. It helps ensure that the satellites are reproducing the mid and high frequencies, while the subwoofer handles the low frequencies.

Overall, the Fluid Audio F8S active subwoofer seems to offer a comprehensive set of features to enhance audio experiences and improve the accuracy of music production and playback across different genres and settings.
