The power connection is a standard IEC connector with a built-in fuse holder. The power supply cord must be plugged into the connector before the power supply cord is plugged into the wall socket.

The fuse is contained inside the IEC connector. The small tab inside the connector must be depressed allowing the fuse holder to be slid out. The power supply cord cannot be used when the fuse holder is extended or removed.

Important

The Final Sound S110 subwoofer, is specially designed to match the requirements of the Final electrostatic loudspeakers. The crossover frequencies to several models Final electrostatic panels are programmed inside the subwoofer just as the time and phase behavior. So, contrary to common subwoofer’s technology, the Final subwoofer is equipped with additional high pass filters for driving the electrostatic panels. Aside of this added feature, it’s also possible to use these subwoofers in any other non Final stereo or home theatre system.

Using these subwoofers together with the Final electrostatic panels of your choice, needs a different approach when connecting your system. So please, follow these instructions thoroughly.

Always switch off your system before connecting any wires!

CONNECTING FOR STEREO

Make sure your entire system is powered off and choose one of the following connection schemes (for figures see table of contents):

(Figure 1) If you use an integrated stereo amplifier or stereo receiver WITHOUT a possibility to separate the pre amp stage and the power stage:

Connect the subwoofer’s HI-LEVEL IN terminals to the amplifier’s loudspeaker terminals (together with the electrostatic panels).

You cannot use the subwoofer’s special high pass filter facilities for driving the electrostatic panels.

Follow Procedure A for adjusting the subwoofer.

(Figure 2) If you use an integrated stereo amplifier or stereo receiver WITH capability to separate the pre amp stage and the power stage:

Separate the amplifier’s pre amp stage and power stage. Most amplifiers do have a switch for this or metal bars between the RCAs on the back panel which should be removed.

Connect the amplifier’s pre amp out RCAs to the subwoofer’s line in RCAs..

Connect the subwoofer’s line out RCAs to the amplifier’s power amp in RCAs.

You can now use the subwoofer’s special high pass facilities for driving the electrostatic panels.

Follow Procedure B for adjusting the subwoofer.

S110 specifications

The Final Sound S110 is an innovative electrostatic loudspeaker that combines cutting-edge technology with an elegant design to deliver an exceptional audio experience. Renowned for its impressive sound quality, the S110 utilizes an advanced electrostatic driver that allows for unmatched clarity and detail in sound reproduction.

One of the standout features of the S110 is its unique diaphragm design. The electrostatic panel, which is significantly thinner than traditional cone drivers, enables the speaker to reproduce high frequencies with remarkable accuracy while minimizing distortion. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for critical listening environments, providing a soundstage that feels both expansive and immersive.

The S110 is also engineered with a proprietary transformer design that enhances the speaker's performance. This transformer ensures that the electrostatic panels receive a consistent power supply, which is crucial for maintaining dynamic range and overall sound fidelity. As a result, users can enjoy music with a true-to-life quality that brings every instrument and vocal performance to the forefront.

Another significant technology incorporated into the Final Sound S110 is its integrated crossover network. Traditional loudspeakers often rely on multiple drivers and crossover points, which can sometimes lead to phase issues and a less cohesive sound. The S110's design simplifies this process by effectively managing frequencies through the electrostatic panel alone, resulting in a more coherent sound across the frequency spectrum.

In terms of aesthetics, the S110 boasts a sleek and minimalist design that fits seamlessly into any modern living space. The build quality is exceptional, with premium materials used throughout the construction. The speaker is available in several finishes, allowing users to choose an option that best suits their décor.

Moreover, the S110 is versatile in terms of placement, as it can be positioned close to walls or corners without significant loss of sound quality. This flexibility ensures that users can enjoy optimal performance no matter the room size or configuration.

Overall, the Final Sound S110 represents a pinnacle of loudspeaker technology. Its combination of precise sound reproduction, innovative engineering, and stylish design makes it a remarkable choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, promising a captivating listening experience that transcends traditional audio capabilities. For anyone seeking to elevate their music experience, the S110 is certainly worth considering.
