F501S
Mid-Range IsoFlare Floorstander — The Core F500S Upgrade Path from Standmount
Descripción ⌄
Compact 2.5-way BassTrax floorstander from the F500S series, extending bass to 36Hz with a slim profile. The IsoFlare point-source driver ensures time-coherent stereo imaging from floor level, and 90dB sensitivity suits most integrated amplifiers. The F501S is a 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker in Fyne Audio's F500S Series, using two 6-inch drivers — one IsoFlare point-source unit and one dedicated bass driver — with a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter in a downward-firing BassTrax ported cabinet. The crossover operates at 250Hz and 1.7kHz. A rear-mounted presence control provides ±3dB adjustment, and bi-wire terminals are fitted as standard.
Technical background
The F501S uses Fyne's current IsoFlare driver with BassTrax porting in a slim floor-standing cabinet. It is the primary upgrade path from the F500S standmount — adding floor-standing bass extension while retaining IsoFlare point-source imaging.
Design story
The F501S was developed as the updated replacement for the F501 floorstander — incorporating the F500S driver technology and revised cabinet construction. It maintains the slim floor-standing form factor of its predecessor.
