Adjust the ‘speaker size’ in the processor’s menu to LARGE. This will cancel the processor’s LFE output and route all the low frequencies to the front channels.

Follow Procedure B for adjusting the subwoofer.

7.Adjusting the S110 subwoofer

PROCEDURE A - QUICK INSTALLATION-

Using the Final Sound sub as a standard subwoofer.

Position the subwoofer in the desired location.

Connect the subwoofer according to this manual’s instructions.

Set the sub’s volume control to a minimum and the phase switch (as a starting point) to 0 degrees.

Adjust the Variable Phase control to ‘minimum’.

Adjust the sub’s Low Pass control (crossover frequency) to the panel’s lowest frequency (see Table 1).

Keep the Variable Bass Equalizer at ‘Min’.

Play some music you are familiar with.

Turn up the subwoofer volume to a level that matches the main loudspeaker’s level.

Now listen to modern music with some kind of strong bass rhythm.

Adjust the Variable Phase control now. This is only necessary if the subwoofer’s position is not on the baseline between the loudspeakers or left to the left loudspeaker and right to the right loudspeaker. If the subwoofer is before or behind the baseline, or somewhere else in the room, adjustment of the phase might be necessary. The Phase control is in the right position, if you’re not aware of a time difference between the mid/high frequencies and the lower frequencies on the listening position. The system is definitely out of phase when the bass frequencies lag behind the rest of the spectrum or there’s a time difference anyway. If it’s not possible to get the right timing, reverse the Phase Switch from ‘0’ to ‘180’ and try again. If this is not helpful, diminish the distance between the subwoofer and the electrostatic panels.

Readjust the volume control after adjusting the phase.

You can slightly adjust the crossover frequency. You should be unaware that there’s a crossover ‘area’. There should be a seamless transition from the subwoofer to the panels. Use, as an example, piano music to make the right adjustment.

Readjust the volume control again.

If you have a dedicated stereo/surround setup guide/disc, refer to the directions included in it.

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.
