    They like the inner qualities of electrostatic performance and what the panels can tell you about the music and the qualities of the recording. Although the Final electrostatic loudspeakers can reach respectable sound pressure levels and will easily exceed levels used during normal listening practice, we do not recommend to use these panels for PA applications or to overwhelm the audience during parties.

    F100i is only available bundled with the Final Sound FVSS201/p receiver The F100i panels are only to be sold bundled with the Final Sound FVSS201/p receiver and a Final Sound subwoofer. Recommended is the S95. The S95 subwoofer forms a natural match, although it’s also possible to use one of the other Final Sound subwoofers (S110 or S220).

    What is the function of the Final Sound front loudspeaker panels? The Final Sound flat-panel front loudspeakers are the main channels in a stereo setting or a virtual surround system. Both in a stereo configuration and a virtual surround configuration, the flat-panel loudspeakers function in close harmony with the Final Sound subwoofer.
  • Page 11 The panels in a stereo setting (two front panels) are preferably located in a symmetrical way and away from the walls for optimum imaging. The panels need to point slightly towards the favorite listening position as you can see in the figure above. For the F100i you need a subwoofer. Application 2: Final Sound virtual surround configuration: For virtual surround, you only need two front panels, a subwoofer and the Final Sound FVSS201/p virtual surround receiver.
  • Page 12 It is necessary to provide power to the flat-panel loudspeakers otherwise they won’t function. The F100i flat-panel loudspeakers are designed to switch off when signals are not received within 20 minutes.

    How does the Final system work? In a Final electrostatic driver, a thin conductive film (diaphragm) is suspended between two perforated “stator” assemblies. Spacers – the thin black lines that run down the surface – separate the film from the metal stators.
  • Page 15 What about the Inverter? The Final electrostatic drivers are based on our patented Inverter technology. As most great ideas in history, the underlying principles are basically simple. A traditional electrostatic driver will put the high voltage to the membrane and the musical signal to the stators. In an Inverter based electrostatic driver, this is vice versa.

  • Page 17 Unplug your Final Sound loudspeaker and contact your Final Sound dealer. Why do I need a Final Sound subwoofer? The Final Sound home theater is based on the 5+1 multi channel amplifiers, which require two front loudspeakers, two rear loudspeakers, one center loudspeaker and a subwoofer.
  • Page 18 This allows for a smooth, convincing transitions between left, center, right, and rear/surround channels. Are Final loudspeakers suitable for Dolby Digital AC-3, DTS, etc.? Yes.
