Fyne Audio FA502iC: 2-way IsoFlare speaker for flush mounting in ceilings or walls
The Fyne Audio FA502iC is a speaker for concealed installation in the home, either in a ceiling or in a wall, which carries the performance of the F500 range over to this format. It is sold singly.
It is built on the 200 mm IsoFlare point source unit of the F500 range, made up of a multi-fibre cone for bass and midrange, a FyneFlute surround and a 25 mm titanium-dome compression tweeter. The crossover is voiced for infinite-baffle operation. For this design Fyne Audio states high efficiency, generous power handling and an isotropic 360-degree dispersion across the whole range. The chassis has self-aligning clamps and sprung terminals for the cables.
