At the heart of all SP Series loudspeakers is the award-winning F500 Series cabinets, enhanced with subtle improvements to further refine performance. SP models use a higher density fibreboard to increase rigidity, plus a balanced combination of bonded acoustic fiber and polyether foam damping to control resonances. The parallel-sided heavyweight construction is internally braced to further lower coloration. The concept extends to the driver/cabinet interface, the rear of each drive unit being coupled to the bracing spars with an energy-absorbing damping mastic.

BASSTRAXTM PORT SYSTEM
All three SP models incorporate Fyne’s flagship BassTrax Tractrix bass porting system as found in a larger format on the F700 and flagship F1 models. The system integrates a tuned downward-firing port and Tractrix profile cone that converts plain wave port energy into a spherical 360-degree wavefront that exits uniformly through the plinth. The system smooths LF output by evenly dispersing energy into the room, making the speaker much less critical of room positioning.

CROSSOVER
With many crossover components and circuit architecture trickled down from the premium F700 loudspeakers, F500 SP models bring a new level of refinement and detail to the already successful F500 design. Low-loss laminated core inductors, high-grade polypropylene capacitors, and Van Den Hul Matched Crystal silver-plated OFC wiring ensure transparent signal transmission, with final crossover and component tuning undertaken by Dr. Paul Mills. The F500 SP Series integrate Fyne’s high-quality bi-wire terminal panel with a fifth loudspeaker terminal for driver chassis grounding.

PLINTH
Optimizing floor coupling and better dissipating vibration in the F500 Series cabinets, floorstanding SP models use Fyne’s striking twin-layer metal plinth. Machined from thick aluminum plates, the two sections are precisely separated by aluminum spacers for optimum integration with the BassTrax porting system. The integrated floor spikes are adjusted from the top of the plinth to make leveling easy, while knurled lock nuts clamp the spikes firmly in position. Machined aluminum cups are provided to protect wooden floors.
