For true music lovers
 

Final Electrostatic Loudspeakers are made by a dedicated group of physicists and engineers. If you are in the market for a truly remarkable high performance speaker system, please take a moment to consider our point of view. Maarten Smits has been an innovator in the development of advanced electrostatic speaker technology for more than a decade during his ownership of Final, a company that was founded in 1989 by the brothers Maarten and Michiel Smits. We strongly believe we can enrich your life with moments of happiness and pure listening ecstasy. Everything we do is focused on representing a sound experience outside the concert hall in such a realistic and vivid way that you will be immersed in the music and that you can almost touch every note. We are sure this is a feeling and experience you’ve never had before. Through our technology and high standards of quality we will help you to rediscover all your music, whether it is analog or digital. The art of sound is revealed in a way the musician once intended it to be. Imagine: your favorite musician live on stage; right in front of you, whenever you want.

Final made major improvements in electrostatic loudspeaker technology.

Several major innovations.

Improved performance, lower distortion

Through the use of a proprietary technique, Final flat panel speakers embed the audio conductor deep inside the thin, Teonex PEN Film used for the speaker diaphragm. This improves performance by virtually eliminating the distortion created by traditional electrostatic speakers that apply the delicate conductive coating to the top of the diaphragm. In addition to improving performance, the embedded design protects against scratches, dust, cigarette smoke and other damage, making it virtually indestructible.

Lightweight, ultra-thin design

Final’s patented technology has revolutionized the high-performance audio marketplace by separating the speaker panel from the bulky driver electronics. The panels are art in themselves, 6 mm thin ( frame is 30 mm thin ) and lightweight enough to mount on the wall alongside the new generation of flat-panel plasma and LCD monitors. Since most of these top-of-the-line monitors don’t have speakers, Final is fast becoming the add-on speaker of choice for flat-panel plasma and LCD TVs – the perfect combination of high performance and elegant styling.

Modular components

Final is the first company to “modularize” electrostatic technology. The benefits are enormous. Modularity allows a to start with two channels (basic stereo) and build up to any number of channels – without limit.

Highest resolution possible

Final electrostatic loudspeakers have significantly lower distortion than conventional motor driven cones and domes. The combination of low mass, high speed, and instant acceleration and deceleration, reproduces the audio signal closer to perfection than any other speaker has ever done. In the high resolution digital future, this fact will become more important than ever. Electrostatic speaker technology is the perfect complement for new high-resolution audio formats. Final’s patented electrostatic technology is to sound what HDTV is to video.

Flat versus curved stators

Final believes that the stator assembly should be flat, not curved, in order to maintain a symmetrical push and pull on the diaphragm.

Flat panel speakers are a modern alternative to traditional box-shaped speakers. These sleek and slim speakers are designed to produce high-quality sound without the bulkiness of traditional speakers.

Flat panel speakers are made up of a thin, flat panel that vibrates to produce sound waves. This panel is typically made from materials such as Mylar, metal, or carbon fiber. The sound quality of flat panel speakers is often superior to that of traditional speakers, as they produce a more accurate and natural sound.

Another advantage of flat panel speakers is their flexibility in terms of placement. They can be easily mounted on walls, ceilings, or even embedded into furniture, making them ideal for use in small spaces or minimalist homes.

Despite their advantages, flat panel speakers are not without their limitations. They may not be able to produce the same level of bass as larger traditional speakers, and their power handling capacity may also be limited.

Overall, flat panel speakers are an excellent option for those seeking a sleek, modern look with high-quality sound. Whether you’re watching movies, listening to music, or gaming, flat panel speakers can provide a great audio experience without taking up much space in your home.

What is the advantage of flat panel speaker?

It’s quite simple. The key features:

  • Flat
  • Transparant
  • Ultra low distortion

What is a flat panel electrostatic speaker?

A flat panel speaker is a type of speaker that uses a flat surface to generate sound instead of a traditional cone. This flat surface is typically made of a lightweight material such as mylar and is designed to vibrate at specific frequencies in response to an electrical signal.

The vibration of the flat panel generates sound waves that propagate through the air and can be heard by the listener.

Flat panel speakers can offer a number of advantages over traditional cone-shaped speakers, including a wider frequency response, lower distortion, and a more uniform sound dispersion pattern.
