Description

Image 2, from Fluid Audio, is a dedicated nearfield/midfield workhorse which uses the latest DSP and class-D amplification to push the limits and create stunning results. The Image 2 delivers accurate imaging, extremely flat frequency response, and incredible bass extension with very low distortion.

With support for Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration import, the room calibration software is integrated directly into Image 2 studio monitors,giving users the ability to create their own calibration profile for their monitor setups to remove unwanted coloration and experience the most accurate studio reference sound for any studio or home environment. The Image 2 is also a 2-in-1 monitor: A full range mixing and mastering system that can switch into cubemix mode at the press of a footswitch. Cubemix mode enables engineers to dial-in low end and midrange levels for even playback on many bass challenged devices. It further helps with the adjustment of vocals, nailing the kickdrums and overall balance.

Future-Proof USB Connection
The future-ready USB port expands the Image 2's incredible functionality and provides the ability to upload and run exported room correction files natively at the monitor level, as well switching between profiles (Image 2 supports loading of 4 different SoundID Reference profiles) and cubemix mode.
Three-Way Driver System
The newly developed AMT tweeter delivers precise, detailed response, expansive headroom, and low distortion, while the aluminum cone midrange driver utilizes a shorting ring within its motor structure to substantially reduce harmonic distortion. Focusing the magnetic flux and concentrating it within the voice coil gap reduces modulation movement of the voice coil, which makes the variation of system inductances more linear as input current varies. The end result is accuracy so clean; mixing takes on a whole new flow.

 

The opposed, dual 8" ultra-long-throw bass woofers are interlocked at their magnets from within, adding improved cabinet stability and providing extended bass response. Each bass driver is individually powered by the latest state-of-the-art 225W Class-D amplifier.

Class-D Quad Amplifier
Driving the entire system is the newly developed Class-D Quad amplifier. Spending the most development time on this important element, the Image 2 amp has extremely low self-noise, very low distortion, improved THD+N performance, improved IMD performance, and lower output impedance. The Image 2's sealed enclosure design provides a natural, 6 dB/oct roll-off for a more controlled low-frequency response. This translates into less likelihood of unwanted interaction with the room, which means these monitors are less sensitive to positioning.
