Page 4: Technology
Polyester surround to optimally terminate loudspeaker industry for very many years. energy. The HF unit annular waveguide has Since coming together to form Fyne Audio, a computer optimised expansion rate and they have been augmenting their existing geometry to provide flat frequency response skills and developing new technologies and avoid internal reflections. - Page 5 A grounding terminal is fitted to minimise the effect of radio frequency interference masking fine detail. BASSTRAX™ TRACTRIX DIFFUSER SYSTEM The F1-5 and F1-8 employ a downwards firing port arrangement. Below the vent in the base of the loudspeaker, the BassTrax™ Tractrix profile diffuser is used to convert the plain wave energy to an expanding spherical 360-degree wavefront, dispersing energy uniformly into the room.

3 POSITIONING LEFT SPEAKER LEFT SPEAKER LEFT SPEAKER The loudspeakers should be positioned Some degree of experimentation will provide approximately 1.5 – 4.5m apart (5 – 15 feet), the best results, especially with toe in ideally no closer than 0.5m (20 inches) from towards the listener, to give the best stereo the rear wall and no closer than 1m (3 feet) imaging. -
Page 7: Stand Mounting
The centre of the drive unit should be approximately at ear height when seated. The F1-5 should similarly be mounted on an appropriate stand. However, bookshelf placement may be preferred, although there will be a degree of compromise in terms of stereo imaging and bass performance. -

Page 9: Connecting Speaker Cables
7 CONNECTING SPEAKER CABLES Ensure the amplifier is switched off before connecting cables, to avoid damage. F1-5 The F1-5 is provided with one set of speaker terminals. Ensure connections are made positive to positive and negative to negative between the loudspeaker and the amplifier (Fig 2). LEFT SPEAKER LEFT SPEAKER TO 'GROUND' OR 'EARTH'... - Page 10 F1-8 The F1-8 is provided with two sets of terminals, one for the HF and one for the LF section. Wiring may be done in either single wire mode or bi-wire mode. The latter will provide optimum performance. When using a single cable, wire as shown (Fig. 3), fitting the link cables provided. The best sound quality is generally achieved when connecting to the HF terminals. For bi-wire operation, ensure the link wires are not fitted, and wire with two sets of cable, or a dedicated bi-wire cable (Fig 4).
- Page 11 A further option is bi-amping, where the two stereo amplifiers, it is recommended LF and HF sections of the loudspeaker that one is used as the LF channel to both are each driven from their own amplifier, loudspeakers and the other HF (Fig 5). To for further enhancement in sound quality. avoid amplifier damage, the link cables Either two stereo power amplifiers or four must not be in place.

Page 13: Care Of Cabinet
10 CARE OF CABINET The cabinet may be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Occasionally use a high quality non-silicone furniture polish on the high gloss wooden areas. As wood is a natural material, avoid exposure to extremes of heat, humidity and direct sunlight for extended periods of time. If unused for long periods of time, you may wish to cover the loudspeakers with the cloth bags they were packaged in, to provide... -
