Fluid Audio FC10S - Active 10" Studio Subwoofer

FC10S is designed for any mid-to-large room requiring bass extension, the Fluid Audio FC10S active subwoofer is the perfect solution for recording studios, gaming rigs, home theaters…any application that would require solid and accurate bass reproduction.

Many types of music benefit from bass extension – from Hip-Hop, to House, to Rock. Being able to hear your mix with bass extension is critical to accurately creating your music. The FC10S subwoofer allows you to hear every detail down to 20Hz, which gets below your hearing threshold, and down to where you actually “feel” it.

Mix Engineers want the confidence to know that their mixes translate well on all types of systems. That is why we included a standby footswitch. With a click of the included foot pedal, you can turn the bass on or off, and audition your mix with bass extension and without.

The FC10S also has two built-in EQ settings that allow for two different settings – depending on your music: A more conventional Flat response, as well as a “Punch” setting that is perfect for Dance or other mid-bass heavy music.

For further flexibility, the FC10S has a variable phase adjustment to fine tune the phase for optimal matching to your L/R monitors (0-180° ), a variable low pass crossover filter control (50-200Hz) and a 80Hz high pass filter (used with foot switch) for satellite connections. We have also included a ground lift switch as well, to minimize ground hum with some home wiring. Front firing bass-reflex port on front baffle for ease of placement.

WOOFER

The woofer driver is 10" (254 mm) in diameter and utilizes a low distortion magnet structure. That magnet drives a high temperature, long throw voice coil, which is mounted to a poly coated, paper pulp cone. The cone is anchored to the frame with a pliant butyl rubber surround which minimizes high frequency resonant peaks that may be transmitted from the cone. The driver's large magnet creates a high BL factor (electromagnet force factor) which allows the cone to follow the input signal very accurately, resulting in excellent low-frequency extension and fast transient response.

BASS-REFLEX PORT

The wide and narrow slot at the bottom of the front panel of the FC10S is the bass-reflex vent port. It is designed to effectively tune the speaker cabinet to it's optimum frequency, and maximize the bass output of the speaker. The FC10S port in angled to get both the benefits of being on the front side (directed at the listener) but also down at the floor, where the reflected energy creates some bass "loading" and increased low frequency output.

ENCLOSURE

The enclosure design of the FC10S has a very important role in shaping the overall sonic response of the speaker. Besides being made of acoustically efficient MDF material, it is also reinforced by internal bracing to ensure solid bass response. The customized front baffle has an angle side on the bottomwhere the port vent is placed, optimizing the bass response due to floor loading.

AMPLIFICATION AND FEATURES

The Class D amplifier design is lightweight and very efficient. Not only allowing you to chose the crossover point and adjust the phase, it also gives you a choice what kind of sound you prefer: a more traditional FLAT sound, or a more PUNCHY bass sound. When the FC10S subwoofer not being used (for about 15 minutes), there is an integrated function that powers down the amplifier to conserve energy.
