Final F100i User Manual page 18

The center channel will handle almost all the dialogue as well as 60-70% of the main action on the
screen.
The rear channels are for ambient effects or to recreate different settings, as well as the screen action
that is recorded to happen at the rear of the listener.
The subwoofer handles the extremely low frequencies such as the explosions in an action film or the
deepest rumble of a bass drum.
What is "timbre matching"?
This means that all of the loudspeakers in a home theater system have the same sound characteristics
or voicing. 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. Final loudspeakers are very accurate to be used with any decoding system designed for the home
theater.
What is the warranty?
Your Final Sound Home theatre system can be provided with limited 3-year warranty coverage on the
flat-panel loudspeakers and 1-year warranty coverage on the subwoofer if the registry card in the
manual is completed and returned to Final Sound. The limited warranty will not be honored when the
product has been used or handled other than in accordance with the instructions in the user manual.
See for more details the chapter Warranty Conditions in this manual.
Is a Final loudspeaker protected against overloading?
Basically: yes. The design of the Final Inverted series of electrostatic loudspeakers has been done
with the protection of the user in mind and the protection of the loudspeaker against mistreatment. The
design has several levels of protection built into the electronics. One of those circuits protects against
overloading. In case of an overload condition, the loudspeaker will shut off for a short period of time. If
the overload condition is persistent, please reduce the volume of the amplifier. But, protecting a
loudspeaker is always a trade off between simply cutting off musical information and allowing dynamics
to surpass reasonable sound levels. Before serious damage can be done, every loudspeaker will first
give a clear warning signal by means of severe audible distortion. That's the moment to lower the
volume. If the state of overloading (and severe audible distortion) will continue, serious damage to the
panels can occur. Because of the protection circuit's 'trade off' behavior, we do not guarantee that this
circuit will protect the loudspeaker against all possible kinds of mistreatment. Damage resulting from
such mistreatment is not covered by our warranty conditions.
