Product Overview

Precision Redefined for Modern Studios

The Image 1 is a dedicated nearfield/midfield workhorse that utilizes high-voltage Class-D quad-amplification to deliver a total of 475 Watts of power. Its sealed-box architecture ensures a controlled low-frequency roll-off and exceptional time-domain performance, making it less sensitive to room positioning. Whether you are building a stereo mixing suite or a complex Dolby Atmos immersive rig, the Image 1 provides the accuracy and translation needed for top-tier productions.

Product Description

Innovative Vi-bracer™ Technology:

One of the standout features of the Fluid Audio Image 1 is its Vi-bracer™ technology. Two 6.5-inch woofers are mounted in an opposing configuration and tied together by a rigid internal pole. This design cancels out reaction forces and cabinet vibrations before they begin, resulting in a low-frequency response that is fast, deep, and completely free of coloration.

Advanced Driver Architecture:

The frequency spectrum is handled by a sophisticated three-way system:

• High Frequencies: A newly developed AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter delivers a detailed, low-distortion treble response with expansive headroom.

• Midrange: A 4-inch aluminum cone driver with a shorting ring substantially reduces harmonic distortion, keeping vocals and instruments clear and forward.

• Low Frequencies: Dual 6.5-inch ultra-long-throw woofers provide "sub-like" extension without the need for a ported design.

Direct SoundID Reference Integration:

The Image 1 features built-in DSP that can natively run Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration profiles. Using the DSP Configuration Tool (DCT), you can upload up to four different profiles—such as a Flat target or a custom Translation Check—directly to the monitor. This eliminates the need for computer-based calibration software to be running constantly, ensuring your room is always perfectly tuned.
