THE LEGEND LIVES
Physics, engineering, innovation and a deep-rooted
love of music have been the soul of FRIED products for over
30 years.
Now, FRIED Products is pleased to introduce another
step in the evolution of
the reproduction of true sound; the FRIED Studio 7, a 3-way floor-standing
dual transmission line loudspeaker that sets a new standard in
performance and value.
NO BUZZ. NO SMEAR. NO BOXINESS.
For
reproduction that is clean and uncolored, free of the buzz, smear,
and boxiness that come through most loudspeakers—even
the most expensive—no other product surpasses Fried.
Soundly built of high density materials
with extensive cross-bracing, the Studio 7 utilizes the
latest evolution of our Free-Flow© transmission line: a passageway
leading from the rear of the bass driver to a line folded three
times vertically; tapering to vary the cross-sectional area, and
terminating at the bottom front of the enclosure. This passageway
is damped using the latest technology in open cell acoustical foam
and other damping materials to provide a smoother and more effective
cut off of unwanted frequencies emitted from the transmission line.
The result is dramatically improved clarity and dynamics. The Studio
7’s midrange also utilizes a transmission line using these
same advanced technologies—together they produce a sound
that
is amazingly true and totally free of distorting back waves.
Each time cue from the original performance
comes through delivering enhanced instrumental
timbres, spatial placement, and the unique ambiance of the recording
site. At the very lowest
frequencies, the air in the line couples with the bass driver to
effectively create an enormous
piston. The result is an effortless presentation—articulate,
timbrally accurate and truthfully
recreating the power and majesty of the original event.
DRIVERS WITH DISTINCTION
The Studio 7 utilizes a trio of highly advanced drivers sourced
from Danish Sound Technology. Our 8" and 6 1/2" drivers
are engineered to ensure an effortless portrayal of the most
dynamically contrasting sonic landscapes. The careful design
of geometries and materials yields a stiff cone yet retains smooth
upper-frequency roll-off characteristics.
Both drivers feature motor systems
with vented voice coils, NRSC cone geometry, low damping rubber
surrounds, damped dust caps, magnesium free flow cast baskets,
and inductance-reducing shorting rings. The totality of the design
results in timbral accuracy, maximum dynamic
linearity, enhanced resolution, and reduction of harmonic product
generation.
The treble unit is a 1", dual
concentric ring with wave guide center plug. Considered to be one
of the finest tweeters in existence, it features outstanding dispersion
and extended response to 40kHz. When combined with our midrange
and woofer drivers, maximum coherence, seamlessness and resolution
are obtained.
UNPARALLELED CROSSOVER
The crossover is first order series in the Fried tradition. Leaving
absolutely nothing to chance, the networks feature top of the
line perfect-lay air core inductors and polypropylene film capacitors
throughout, a feature normally reserved for the most expensive
applications. Properly implemented series networks provide superior
driver coherence, increased dynamic range and introduce a Doppler
effect similar to live music that increases the sense of realism.
Fried’s execution of this topology produces a 3-way loudspeaker
with the intimacy and seamless nature of the best
mini-monitors, while retaining the dynamic capabilities reserved
for larger multi-way systems.
Because of the use of our specially designed drivers and true
transmission line loading, the Studio 7 is a highly “non-reactive” load
that is inherently easy to drive and mates beautifully with all
amplifier topographies ranging from 10 to 300 watts.
YOU ARE THERE
The Studio 7 is designed to portray every nuance of a musical performance,
delivering an
astonishingly real quality. Voices and instruments appear in their
true spatial positions, with
accurate and distinctive timbres. The total sound field is spacious
and deep. The reproduction
of orchestral dynamics is exquisitely vivid revealing soft sounds
as well as high peak levels at
any frequency. The FRIED Studio 7 stands ready to transport you
to the scene of the original
performance. Be there.
