Building on the multi-award winning F500 Series, the F500 SP Series is a unique range of UK built Special Production models blending the refinements of F700 Series technology with the classic F500 Series cabinet design. The result is our most affordable ‘premium’ loudspeaker range, boasting high end components and patented acoustic technology crafted into conventional parallel sided cabinets, hand built and finished in Fyne Audio’s Glasgow, UK factory.

The IsoFlareTM drivers in the F500 SP series are direct derivatives of the high end, point source units designed for the F700 Series. High powered compressions tweeters with neodymium motors and multi-fibre LF cones deliver true isotropic radiation with an extremely flat frequency response out to over 30kHz. Dynamic, powerful and incredibly natural sounding, these exceptional point source drivers bring music alive with breathtaking details and class-leading imaging.

Further refining the F500 cabinets, the SP models integrate the more advanced BassTrax LF porting system from Fyne’s F700 and flagship F1 Series. This includes the double layer metal sandwich plinth and tractrix profile diffuser cone, designed to deliver the smoothest LF response and easy room integration. Adding a touch of classical luxury, the F500 SP models are also available finished in piano gloss lacquered walnut veneer.

SPECIAL PRODUCTION ISOFLARE

Compared to standard F500 Series loudspeakers, the most significant upgrade for Special Production models can be found in the new SP Isoflare drivers. Combining our engineer’s decades of driver design expertise with advanced computer modelling has resulted in a cutting edge driver design that delivers a class leading music listening experience. Offered in 6” (150mm) and 8” (200mm) variants, the SP Isoflare units borrow much of the technology developed for F700 models, including the F700’s 25mm magnesium diaphragm compression tweeter and multi-fibre cone with FyneFlute roll surround.

BRINGING THE DETAIL

The centrally positioned HF unit uses a powerful neodymium motor system with a vented rear chamber to move fundamental resonance well below the crossover point. The unique HF waveguide has undergone extensive computer modelling to deliver an optimised wavefront expansion rate and flat frequency response out to its 30kHz design parameters. The HF system is efficiently cooled by heatsinking through a metal pole piece, ensuring a smooth HF response even after extended high volume listening.

The SP cone is created from a bespoke multi-fibre mix designed to give an extremely natural sound through the critical midband region along with the required stiffness to drive low frequency transients with minimal colouration. Set in a bespoke rigid cast aluminium chassis, the LF motor system incorporates a separate flux focusing magnet to increase low frequency efficiency and maintain a flat response through low bass frequencies. The LF cone is terminated with a FyneFlute roll surround, offering significant benefits in terminating unwanted cone energy over typical rounded profile surrounds.
