Questions
and answers.
Four starting points for exploring Final. All questions and answers are on one page.
What is an electrostatic loudspeaker?
A charged, very thin diaphragm moves between two stators. The changing electric field moves the diaphragm, which moves the air.
Does every Final use the same principle?
Yes. Final Wavefield™, the electrostatic principle, runs through every model. The models differ in panel size and in how the system is arranged.
Do all models need an external bass?
No. The Final 3200, Final 3300 and Final 3900 are full-range electrostatic designs. For the Final 1300, Final 1500 and Final 1700 it depends on the version: the Final 1570 and Final 1770 are complete systems, the Final 1550 and Final 1750 have a bass unit in the base, and the panels take an external bass.
What should I bring to a listening session?
A few familiar tracks and some information about your room and equipment are a useful start.
