Fluid Audio Image 2 3-Way 8" Active Studio Reference Monitor (Single)

Share:

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

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.

Accurate and Transparent

Using the Fluid Audio DCT (DSP Configuration Tool), you can push SoundID Reference calibration profiles to the built-in embedded DSP platform onboard the Image 2. This will compensate for room imperfections that acoustically treated and untreated rooms sometimes have.

Using SoundID Reference (v5.6 and newer) and a measuring microphone, you can measure your room, create calibration curves specifically for your environment, and upload them directly onto the Image 2 with the DCT tool.
The Image 2 supports up to 4 different profiles. As an example: Flat target, Dolby Atmos Music, Custom Target, and Translation Check. All of these can be loaded as different profiles and switched between using the DCT tool running on Windows or OSX. (USB has to be connected to both monitors to switch between the profiles).
You can enable/disable CubeMix mode using the DCT tool (which is not affected by the calibration profiles).

Compact, All-In-One

Fluid Audio has ingeniously incorporated precision accuracy and controlled directivity. The system maintains an extended bass response down to -3 dB at 38 Hz (in chamber), ensuring a comprehensive audio experience. The Image 2 stands as a testament to uncompromising audio quality, catering to the discerning preferences of recording engineers and audio enthusiasts alike.
In essence, Fluid Audio’s Image 2 offers a complete audio solution, blending pinpoint accuracy, directional control, and a diverse range of input options, all within a space-saving design. Its exceptional bass performance makes it a preferred choice for those seeking exceptional sound quality in a compact format.

DSP and Converters

Fluid Audio Image 2 DSP board features great performance in every aspect. Flagship discrete AD/DA converters, together with well optimized signal circuitry improves the S/N ratio to 115 dBa.
The in-house developed digital signal-processing system introduces a range of features that greatly enhance the studio experience. In addition to the analog XLR input, there are an AES digital in and SPDIF in/out, enabling the possibility of daisy-chaining two Image 2 speakers. Moreover, the digital connection bypasses interface conversions, effectively reducing unwanted artifacts.
