Fluid Audio F8S Powered Studio Subwoofer



zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Monitor bass accurately with this 200-watt 8" powered sub. With variable phase, variable low-pass, and an included footswitch, the Fluid F8S fits any studio.
Overview
Designed for recording studios, gaming, home theaters and more, the Fluid Audio F8S active subwoofer delivers exceptional bass response in a compact footprint.
Many types of music benefit from bass extension -- from Hip-Hop, to House, to Rock. Being able to hear your mix with this bass extension is critical to accurately creating your music. The F8S subwoofer allows you to hear every detail down to 30Hz -- and in a compact size.
Mix Engineers want the confidence to know that their mixes translate well on all types of systems. That is why Fluid Audio included a standby footswitch. With a click of the included foot pedal, you can turn the bass on or off, and audition your mix with bass extension and without.
The F8S also has two built-in EQ settings that allow for two different settings -- depending on your music: A more conventional Flat response, as well as a "Punch" setting that is perfect for Dance or other mid-bass heavy music.
For further flexibility, the F8S has a variable phase adjustment to fine tune the phase for optimal matching to your L/R monitors (0-180 degrees), a variable low pass crossover filter control (50-200Hz) and a 80Hz high pass filter (used with foot switch) for satellite connections.

I've been using NHT Pro A-10's for 10 years and I am quite pleased with the accurate, tight, full bass extension that the Fluid Audio F8S Sub has added to my mixes-makes me wonder how I did without them for so long. I've gone back to re-listen to nearly everything I've recorded. Especially minty when used with heavy gauge cable like Monster Cable's Prolink Studio Pro 1000. Excellent bank for the buck!
