2 TECHNOLOGY
Our experienced team of acoustic and
product design engineers have been in the
loudspeaker industry for very many years.
Since coming together to form Fyne Audio,
they have been augmenting their existing
skills and developing new technologies
to ensure that we can offer best in class
performance through technical innovation
and advanced manufacturing techniques.

ISOFLARE™ POINT SOURCE DRIVER
Fyne Audio’s IsoFlare™ driver is a point
source system whereby the bass / midrange
driver shares a common centre with the
high frequency unit. Providing outstanding
stereo imaging even off axis, energy
is radiated isotropically with constant

cone. Sound is produced emanating from a
single point.
To fully optimise the driver performance,
every aspect of this meticulous design has
been considered. Eliminating unwanted
vibrations which would be detrimental
to the sound quality, our IsoFlare™ point
source drivers are built around a custom
tooled rigid cast aluminium chassis.
A vented rear chamber in the substantial
Neodymium HF magnet places low
frequency resonance well below the
crossover region. Pushing the break up
mode well above the level of human
hearing, the highly rigid 75mm titanium
alloy high frequency diaphragm delivers a
smooth and extended response, while a
copper shorting ring provides low distortion.
The unique geometry of the high frequency

The HF diaphragm provides a natural and
unstressed performance, terminated by
a Mylar surround to optimally terminate
energy. Such a large diaphragm allows a very
low crossover frequency of 750Hz to the
bass / midrange cone, ensuring much of the
vocal range is handled by the tweeter.
The HF unit annular waveguide has a
computer optimised expansion rate and

high power edgewound aluminium HF voice

while the high power LF motor system uses
ferrite magnet, with rectangular copper

power dissipation. A copper shorting ring

reducing midrange distortion tenfold.

ENCLOSURE
The high density birch ply construction is
pressed to ensure an extremely rigid and
low colouration structure. The drive unit is
coupled to internal bracing panels through
damping material to absorb energy. Each
cabinet is uniquely crafted from individually
selected Walnut and Burr Walnut real wood
and accented with gold anodised metalwork.
Heavy duty support spikes enable precise
levelling, with the provision of machined
aluminium cups for protection on wooden

3 UNPACKING 
This operation should be performed by two people to avoid injury or damage to the
loudspeaker, should it slip or fall.
Vintage Twelve and Fieen: these are shipped on wooden pallets. After removing the
cardboard lid, foam top cushion and cardboard sleeve, lift the loudspeaker off the wooden
pallet, using the straps provided (Fig. 1). The speaker can then be slid roughly into position,
while sitting on the foam bottom end cushions.

4 POSITIONING & FITTING FLOOR
COUPLING SPIKES
With the loudspeaker still located on the foam end cushions, start by positioning the
loudspeakers with their rear at least 0.5m from the rear wall. The proximity of a side wall
should be no closer than 1m (Fig. 2).

The loudspeakers are provided with two sets of terminals, one for the HF and one for the

9 ADJUSTMENTS
The Vintage Series is provided with two adjustment controls on the front panel, to achieve
optimal performance in terms of both the listening environment and listener preference.
The upper ‘Energy’ control alters the level of signal fed to the tweeter, from the crossover
point upwards, giving control over how bright the presentation sounds (Fig. 9).
The lower ‘Presence’ control only affects the lower treble region of 2.5 - 5.0kHz, and

Start with both controls in the central (level) position, and make small adjustments with well
recorded programme material that you are familiar with. Achieving the correct presentation
is equivalent to focusing the lens on a camera, to achieve the most realistic sound-staging
depth.

10 CARE OF CABINET 
The cabinet may be dusted with a lint free cloth, such as muslin. As wood is a natural
material, avoid exposure to extremes of heat, humidity and direct sunlight for extended
periods of time.
If unused for long periods of time, you may wish to cover the loudspeakers with the cloth
bags they were packaged in, to provide protection.
On no account use solvents or abrasive materials, as this will cause damage and invalidate
the warranty.
The oiled walnut body of the cabinet should be treated sparingly with the wood wax provided,
