The FINEO Range: A Series Designed for Fixed Indoor Installation
Developed based on feedback from integration professionals, the FINEO series was created to meet the real constraints of fixed indoor installations: clean mounting, flexible configuration, and consistent results from site to site. The range includes several passive full-range speakers and multiple subwoofers, with a standard black or white finish to suit cultural venues as well as corporate or sports spaces. The goal is clear: to offer a practical, coherent, and complete solution, with an excellent balance between audio quality, ease of integration, and budget.
An 18" Subwoofer to Reinforce a Professional Installation System
This passive subwoofer is particularly recommended when you seek a solid foundation in the low spectrum for fixed playback: multipurpose rooms, auditoriums, places of worship, schools, gymnasiums, conference rooms, bars, or restaurants. It is presented as the ideal complement to configurations including FO 10 W, FO 12 W, or FO 15 W speakers, to achieve deeper bass and more energy for contemporary music, amplified voice, or high-level audiovisual content.
With its white finish, it discreetly integrates into environments where aesthetics matter as much as performance, while maintaining a "field-oriented" design for reliable daily use.
Designed for Impact, Optimized for Integration
Bass That Holds Power
Equipped with an 18" loudspeaker and rated at 1000 W, this subwoofer aims for energetic and stable reproduction at sustained levels. The communicated SPL values (up to 129 dB peak ) reflect a clear purpose: to provide a solid low-end capable of supporting an installation system without fatigue when the program becomes demanding.
Clean Mounting and Installer-Friendly Approach
The FINEO range emphasizes implementation: availability of numerous mounting accessories to cover a wide variety of scenarios, and rear cable routing to enhance the final appearance. This detail simplifies connection management and promotes discreet installation, especially when the subwoofer is placed near a wall.
Configuration and Simulation Tools
To speed up deployment and standardize results, DSP presets are provided for compatible amplifiers/platforms (Lab.gruppen IPX and LEA Professional), as well as settings for other platforms. GLL simulation data are also available for EASE and EASE Focus, a valuable asset for preparing an installation, anticipating coverage, and documenting a project.
