Fluid Audio C5BT: Bluetooth Active Studio Monitor, aptX, TRS, Optical Input, subwoofer Output. 2 x 20W

Product Description

C5BT is an affordable Bluetooth enabled monitor using the newest CSR BT 4.0 technology with aptX support. aptX has revolutionized the Bluetooth Stereo listening experience by significantly reducing the bit rate without affecting audio quality or introducing latency issues. With a bit-rate of 384 kbit/s @ 16/48kHz, the aptX audio codec source material is transparently delivered over the Bluetooth link, whether it is stored uncompressed or in an alternative compression (MP3, AAC, FLAC) format.

The C5BT monitor has a pedigree of making music in professional studios, coming from the likes of other Fluid monitors like the F5 and FX8.

However, with the C5BT we set out to create a great sounding monitor that could be used at home or the office as well. Whether you're watching a movie, streaming music on the web, or just listening to your favorite downloaded tracks on your phone, you want an accurate reproduction of what the mix engineer intended. For this, you need a speaker with a well-balanced frequency response - so you won't hear any frequency louder or softer than any other, but also one that images well. What is imaging? When you listen to music, and close your eyes, can you picture where the instruments are on the "virtual stage"? If you can, you have speakers that image very well­.

Not only do the C5BT's provide a clearer view into the music you are listening to (or perhaps making) they also overcome many of the limitations found in many other speakers. Using quality speaker drivers and employing a sophisticated crossover network, they sound clear and transparent. From Pro engineers at commercial studios to listening to your favorite music or movies at home, the C5BT sets a new, affordable standard in monitoring.

Woofer

The woofer driver is 5"(127mm) in diameter and utilizes a low distortion magnet structure. That magnet drives a high temperature voice coil, which is mounted to a poly coated, paper pulp cone. The cone is anchored to the frame with a pliant butyl rubber surround which minimizes high frequency resonant peaks that may be transmitted from the cone. Although many claim to use "space age" materials in their cones, since the 1920's, the most popular material for woofer cones has been paper pulp. Why? Not only it's great strength-to-weight ratio, but because of its excellent damping characteristics - leaving the woofer to reproduce pure tones, not the ringing resonances.

Universal connection

With its great connectivity you can connect most of your devices uses @home or in the studio.

With integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, digital optical, analog RCA and balanced TRS inputs, you can finally say goodbye to your space stealing A/V receiver.

With the option to add a subwoofer, you will have a great sound experience for movies, gaming and mixing your favorite music

Tweeter

Using an efficient 25mm PEI diaphragm with magnet shielding, the C5BT tweeter provides extended high-frequency response while keeping a very natural sound character. Mounted to a specially designed wave guide, not only "guides" the high frequency energy to maximize off axis coverage, but also pushes the tweeter back slightly, allowing for time alignment with the woofer.

The tweeter is able to be crossed over at a lower frequency - allowing more output across the mid-band of the device.
