FINEO: a range dedicated to fixed indoor installations
FINEO is a range specifically designed for permanent indoor sound reinforcement installations. Developed from feedback by integration professionals, it emphasizes sound quality, solution consistency (passive full-range speakers and subwoofers), as well as ease of daily implementation. Available in standard black and white finishes, the series aims for a clean, durable, and scalable installation with a particularly attractive quality/price ratio.
For which uses and locations?
This 5-inch passive 2-way coaxial speaker is designed for projects where visual discretion must go hand in hand with controlled sound distribution: retail stores, restaurants, multipurpose rooms, schools, places of worship, reception halls, and sports complexes. Its wide directivity (110 degrees horizontal and 110 degrees vertical) facilitates coverage of extended listening areas, while its compact size allows for wall or ceiling mounting without cluttering the space.
Designed for quick integration and consistent distribution
2-way coaxial architecture: intelligibility and coherence
The coaxial configuration combines a 5-inch driver and a 1-inch tweeter on the same axis to achieve a stable sound image and a more homogeneous response in the listening area. The result: clear reproduction with good intelligibility, particularly useful for voice, announcements, background music, as well as more sustained playback.
Deployment tools: DSP presets and simulation
To save time on site and ensure reliable results, the series offers DSP presets for Lab.gruppen IPX and LEA Professional platforms, as well as settings for other environments. Simulation data in GLL format, compatible with EASE and EASE Focus, allow anticipating coverage and optimizing placement before installation.
Robustness and peace of mind in public environments
Built to last, the speaker features an MDF structure and a reliability-oriented design. It is rated as ball impact resistant and meets the requirements of the German DIN 18032-3 standard, a major asset for gymnasiums and environments subject to physical constraints.
