The F500S bookshelf speaker is part of Fyne Audio’s enhanced F500S Series, featuring the next evolution of IsoFlare point source driver technology for superior clarity and dispersion. Its neodymium HF magnet, vented rear chamber, and magnesium HF diaphragm ensure reduced resonance and extended high frequency performance beyond 30kHz. The 6″ multi-fibre LF cone with FyneFlute™ roll surround delivers precise transient response and natural sound. The integrated patented BassTrax™ Tractrix Diffuser System guarantees an even 360 degree bass distribution, minimising room placement sensitivity. Additionally for personal adjustment of the soundstage +/- 3dB (2.5 – 5.0kHz), the F500S comes with a rear facing presence switch. Encased in high-rigidity MDF, the F500S is finished in luxury Black Oak or Natural Walnut real wood veneer or a sumptuous Piano Gloss Black, perfect for any decor. The F500S is ideal for audiophiles and movie enthusiasts alike seeking a natural immersive soundstage where real-estate is at a premium.

Reviews
“The standout feature here is the improved IsoFlare point source driver, which delivers excellent stereo imaging.”
ISOFLARETM
The F500S showcases the latest advancements in Fyne Audio's renowned IsoFlare point source driver technology, delivering precise stereo imaging and consistent sound dispersion across a wide listening area. This upgraded design features a computer-optimised HF waveguide that minimises internal reflections, resulting in a smoother, more balanced frequency response. Combining a neodymium HF magnet with a lightweight magnesium diaphragm, the latest IsoFlare™ driver extends high-frequency performance beyond 30kHz for exceptional detail and clarity. Once reserved for premium flagship loudspeakers, this advanced technology is now integrated throughout the F500S range, delivering a more immersive and natural listening experience at every level.
FYNEFLUTETMSURROUND TECHNOLOGY
Each F500S Series model features FyneFlute, Fyne Audio's unique driver surround technology, developed to reduce unwanted cone reflections and colouration. Using a computer-designed variable geometry surround, FyneFlute helps dissipate energy at the edge of the cone, reducing resonance and improving clarity, accuracy, and musical realism.
BASSTRAXTMTRACTRIX DIFFUSER SYSTEM
Designed to offer greater placement flexibility, the F500S bookshelf model incorporates Fyne Audio's patented BassTrax Tractrix Diffuser technology. By converting downward-firing port energy into a smooth, 360-degree wavefront, BassTrax helps reduce the impact of nearby walls and shelving while maintaining controlled, balanced bass performance.
Presence Control
A rear-panel Presence Control on the F500S Series provides ±3dB adjustment of the 2.5kHz to 5.0kHz region, allowing you to subtly tailor the speaker's presentation. From a more forward, articulate sound to a more relaxed and laid-back balance, it offers an effective way to optimise performance for your room and listening preferences.
CABINET
Constructed from high-rigidity MDF and reinforced with extensive internal bracing, each cabinet is engineered to minimise unwanted vibration, resonance and colouration, allowing the advanced IsoFlare™ driver to perform at its best. Available in a choice of luxurious real wood veneers and Piano Gloss Black, the F500S is designed to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors. Thoughtful details, including concealed fixings and magnetic grilles, complete a clean, sophisticated aesthetic.
