Dedicated to studios and DJs, Flare Audio’s S1 bi-amplified speaker system has been designed using advanced technologies and measurement methods and claims an outstanding accuracy in sound reproduction.
First introduced mid-January, S1 speaker system is the first product of the “Space” Series. Il uses two custom Neodynium magnet drivers: one 125 W powered 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) and one 50 W powered 1 inch driver. Its cabinet is made of CNC machined solid aerospace aluminum blocks. The medium driver has an aluminum phase plug and the HF driver has a rotatable waveguide with multiple dispersion options. S1 dimensions are 200 x 320 x 130 mm and weight is 22 lbs (10 kg). Features include 125 Hz – 32 kHz frequency response.
Designed as a reference monitor, Space S1 claims an immediacy of sound with clarity and detail accuracy. Where other speaker designs strive to control resonance and internal reflections through enclosure design and dampening or mask them by DSP, S1 design banishes internal resonances. Designed relies on a measurement method called Waveform integrity (Wi) based on a time-domain analysis of differences between the electrical signal fed to the system and the driver’s audio response collected by an high resolution RTA microphone.
Future products encompassing Space Technology include Space X5; a live music product with unmatched size/power ratio, planned for release early 2013.
