Fluid Audio FX50 FX Series Coaxial Studio Monitor

The Fluid Audio Coaxial speaker design is notably different from traditional coaxial designs. Coaxial monitors in the 50’s and 60’s placed the high frequency driver behind the woofer, “porting” the high frequency through the woofer’s voice coil opening. This design effectively used the woofer’s cone as the wave guide, or horn. Since the woofer’s cone is constantly moving (sometimes dramatically as it plays bass frequencies), there is a significant amount of Intermodulation distortion and audible smearing that happens as the high frequency radiates off the woofer’s cone.The coaxial design of the Fluid Audio FX and FPX series places the high frequency device in front of the woofer, secured to a fixed post. The tweeter is mounted in a hard plastic wave guide that allows the high frequencies to flow uninterrupted, so there is no audio smearing from the woofer’s movements.
