1. Key features

Final made big improvements in electrostatic speakers. They have many new features.

Better Sound, Less Distortion 

Final flat panel speakers have a special way to make sound. They put the audio parts inside a thin film. This helps remove distortion, which is a problem in older electrostatic speakers. The new design also protects against scratches and dust, making them very strong.

Lightweight, Thin Design 

Final’s technology makes these speakers very thin and light. They are only 6 mm thick (the frame is 30 mm thick). You can hang them on the wall next to flat TVs. Many TVs do not have speakers, so Final speakers are a great choice to add good sound.

Modular Components 

Final is the first company to use modular technology in electrostatic speakers. This means you can start with two speakers and add more if you want.

Highest Sound Quality

 Final electrostatic speakers have less distortion than regular speakers. They can make sound very clearly, like a perfect sound. This is important for new audio formats. Final’s technology is as important for sound as HDTV is for video.

Flat vs. Curved Stators

 Final believes that the stator (the part that helps make sound) should be flat. This helps the diaphragm move evenly.

2. Why an electrostatic Final speaker should be your choice!

Electrostatic speakers are not just any speakers, they’re a game-changer! Originally designed for audiophiles and sound engineers, these speakers deliver pure, unaltered music that will transform the way you enjoy sound.

Why compromise? Final electrostatic speakers offer incredible sound quality at a price that won’t break the bank. Enjoy a wide soundstage, detailed audio, and quick bass response. All while being lightweight and easy to move.

3. How to place your speakers?

Most speakers can create a sound stage, allowing you to hear voices and instruments clearly, just like at a live concert. High-quality speakers can even distinguish height, making a voice sound higher than a drum. To achieve this, your speakers and electronics must work in harmony, and using good power cables is essential. If everything isn't perfectly set up, you may only hear sound from the speakers, losing that immersive sound stage.

Why Electrostatic Speakers Stand Out

Electrostatic speakers excel in creating a wide sound stage, but they need some space to shine. We recommend placing them about 60 to 100 cm away from walls. This space allows for the best sound quality.

Speaker Placement Matters

The positioning of your speakers greatly impacts the sound. Humans can hear frequencies from 0 to 20,000 Hz, and a good audio system should deliver all sounds evenly. Keep in mind that your room influences the sound, so where you place your speakers is crucial.

Avoid Corners

Placing speakers in corners can amplify bass sounds, which may muddy the overall clarity. Electrostatic speakers especially need some room to perform their best.

Subwoofer Placement

There isn't a one-size-fits-all location for a subwoofer, but placing it near the speakers helps blend the sound better. If it's too far away, you might hear the bass separately, which isn't ideal. Listen carefully to how well the speakers and subwoofer work together; the bass should complement, not overpower.

Final Hybrid Speakers: A Perfect Match

Final hybrid speakers combine flat electrostatic panels with subwoofers, requiring thoughtful placement for optimal performance. If they’re too close to walls, the bass may become overwhelming.

Adjusting Angles for Better Sound

You can also experiment with angling your speakers. If the front of the speaker is parallel to the wall, it lacks angle. Changing this angle can significantly enhance your sound stage, providing a richer listening experience.

Maximize your audio setup by considering these tips, and enjoy a truly immersive sound experience with your electrostatic speakers!

4. The ideal cut off for Hybrid and Active models

When it comes to hybrid speakers, there's no perfect crossover point between flat panels and woofers. Typically, the crossover frequency can range from 30 Hz to 500 Hz, depending on the drivers used.

Some hybrids that feature ribbon drivers can achieve crossover points as high as 1200 Hz. Final's flat electrostatic panels, however, are designed to start at very low frequencies—Model 3+ at 150 Hz, Model 5+ at 130 Hz, and Model 7+ at 120 Hz. This low starting point helps prevent coloration and distortion often caused by traditional cone drivers.

Why Crossover Points Matter

The crossover point significantly affects sound quality. Subwoofers emit sound in multiple directions, which can make it challenging to achieve a uniform sound experience across the room. Properly managing crossover points helps maintain clarity and balance in your audio setup.

By understanding these nuances, you can better appreciate the design and functionality of hybrid speakers, ensuring a more enjoyable listening experience!

5. Understanding speaker types: Passive, Active, and Hybrid?

Buying new speakers can be confusing, especially with the variety available, including electrostatic options.

Final offers two speaker line-ups:

The Resoné series includes Passive, Active, and Hybrid speakers.

The Prestige series consists solely of Passive speakers.

It's important to note that all Passive speakers require an external amplifier.

In the Resoné series, we also provide a Hybrid option; speakers that combine an electrostatic panel with a dynamic subwoofer for even richer sound.

Additionally, you can choose Active versions in the Resoné series, where both speakers come with custom internal amplifiers making it it very easy to create the perfect balanced solution of connecting those to your existing home system.

6. Electrostatic speakers and amplifiers

How to choose the right amplifier for your electrostatic speakers?

Some listeners have their own sound preferences. You can buy any amplifier that makes you happy.

Others want the sound to be like real music. Finding the right amplifier for your electrostatic speakers is important. You can create a good sound, but it takes effort.

To find the right match, you need to listen and have experience.

Amplifiers have different types. Class A has warm sound. Class AB can have distortion.

Class D is strong in low sounds.

Tube amplifiers can create a big sound stage. They may sound warm or neutral.

If you want your system to sound realistic, listen for natural sound.

Don't forget about speaker cables. Some can change the sound for worse.

Listen for details, dynamics, and sound stage. Real instruments have a wide range of sounds.

7. The advantages of full range Electrostatic speakers

Most speakers can't cover the full audio spectrum, and many electrostatic panels start at 100 Hz, requiring a subwoofer for deeper bass.

However, Final offers an impressive lineup of full-range speakers—models 12+, 15+, and 35+—that span frequencies from 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

This wide frequency range is crucial because every instrument has a fundamental frequency and additional harmonics that give it character. When you listen to speakers that start at 100 Hz or higher, some instruments may sound "off" or lack their true essence.

Final's full-range speakers excel at reproducing all sounds naturally, ensuring that you hear every detail as the artist intended. Unlike dynamic speakers, which require large enclosures to cover the full range,

Final's design allows for a more compact setup without sacrificing sound quality.

Transform your listening experience with Final full-range speakers and enjoy the richness of every note!

8. Electrostatic speakers: principles

An electrostatic speaker (ESL) is different from regular speakers. ESLs use electrostatic interaction instead of electromagnetic.

An ESL has a thin diaphragm between two conductive grids. Final speakers use a special material for the grids. The diaphragm is made of a strong, durable film.

The diaphragm gets a high charge from a power supply. The grids are driven by the audio signal. When the signal changes, the diaphragm moves to create sound.

Using two grids reduces distortion, making the sound clearer. Final ESLs have very little distortion, which makes them great for audiophiles. They produce clear and detailed sound.
