Speaker pair Mirage FRx Nine
"Nine" is made in the classic manner: Isolated midrange/tweeter section, bass unit designed bass reflex. Body relatively easy. 200mm bass driver is installed on the side of the metal mesh and closed. Linear system has no input, but preamplified additional power amplifier low-frequency signal can be applied to high-voltage terminals by removing the jumper (bass - the lower the switching pair, the rest - at the top). For a theater without a separate subwoofer "nine" should be used with AV-receiver equipped function Both. There are EQ and level. As with all systems series FRx, equipped with a magnetic head Nine screening.
In light of low-frequency depth FRx Nine was very "cautious". This circumstance is related to many advantages of the system, which among other things can be attributed its relative compactness. It's a good full outdoor speakers, who can not unreasoned "raids" in depth pure play any music. In other words, the activation of the low-frequency section here, it seems, is aimed at improving the "musicality" of bass. In modern forms with a deep appreciation of its elastic dynamic. Impressively produced symphonic works. Very convincing astringency brass, bass fragrant. Simplified a bit, as "deaf" rumbling bass drum. From the heart "revealed" in the middle of the system: picturesque, yet it conveys legibly variety of instrumental timbre of sound, provides an insight into the subtle nuances of the human voice intonation, well resolved parts of polyphony. Coloring tactfully refreshing cool tones. Image space is comfortable, very comfortable in it placed chamber shape. Nine work as a front pair are quite adequate to the requirements of 5.1. Without additional subwoofer most "catastrophic" effects do not stun properly, but the system is excellent "deepens" space in the wings that is very conducive to the development of the effect of involvement. Note that in the series has central channel speakers suitable.
FRx Nine in all respects - great musical acoustics. In home cinema relatively small depth of the bass system is not critical, but for an uncompromising view "fundamental" LFE is better to have an independent acquisition of subwoofer. As a theater front nine 5.1 - the perfect solution.
