Model FS-4000 and FS-5000 Front Stage Loudspeakers
The Front Stage Loudspeakers are integrated high-performance loudspeak- ers containing all three front channel speakers (LCR) in a single elegant, slim enclosure.These speakers can be either wall-mounted above or below the video display,or can be placed on a shelf or on the television itself with the included rocker base.
These units are intended for use with the latest generation of flat screen video displays. The advanced design of these speakers delivers detailed, articulate sound for a dramatic viewing experience. Each of the three separate internal chambers contains a complete speaker system.In the FS- 4000, each speaker is comprised of one 4 ½-inch (115mm) GLH (Graph- ite Loaded Homopolymer) woofer, one 4 ½-inch (115mm) GLH Pressure Driver, and an advanced 1-inch (25mm) ferrofluid-cooled, damped soft- dome tweeter.
In the FS-5000,each speaker utilizes two high-power 4 ½-inch GLH woof- ers and the 1-inch (25mm) soft-dome tweeter.
The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert,heavily braced MDF enclo- sure and are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close to any type of video monitor without concern of video interference. Note also that the tweeters are mounted above the centerline of the woofers. This arrange- ment results in a smoother in-room frequency response, for greater clarity and detail.
For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front- channel speakers must have the same essential tonal balance.Since the Front Stage Loudspeakers are comprised of three identical speakers mounted in a common enclosure, they deliver an exceptionally smooth and coherent
sonic signature across the front soundstage.
