Ophidian FFION Loudspeakers

September 13, 2024

AFTER A PREVIEW AT NWAS 2024 THE NEW OPHIDIAN FFION LOUDSPEAKERS WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT MONTH

After a preview at the 2024 North West Audio Show, the Ophidian FFION, named after founder Gareth James’ newborn daughter, will go on sale from October this year.

The stylish looking, and we thought wonderful sounding Ophidian FFION loudspeakers were one of the standouts at the North West Audio Show 2024, you will be able to get your hands on them very soon.

OPHIDIAN FFION LOUDSPEAKERS

The Ophidian FFION features a cabinet design that tapers sleekly from base to top both laterally and front to back to combine the excellent imaging of a compact speaker with the bass weight of a full-size floorstander.

AEROFLEX BASS LOADING

A 200mm (8″) woofer with a stiff but light paper cone fires downwards from the base of the cabinet for room-friendly placement. Combined with Aeroflex bass loading it provides fast and accurate bass down to 30hz.

MID RANGE

The 125mm (5″) alloy mid-range driver features a solid aluminium phase plug and dual shorting paths in its voice coil circuit design to reduce distortion. Situated in its own sealed sub-section of the cabinet it is designed to provide lifelike vocals while matching evenly with the outputs from the woofer and tweeter.

OPHIDIAN FFION TWEETER

The 22mm soft dome tweeter features a wide roll surround for excellent dispersion characteristics meaning great sound staging and integration with the mid-range unit. Sonolex coating keeps breakup under control and has been used to enable a smooth listening experience that can be enjoyed for hours.

WALNUT OR PAINT LAQUER FINISH

High quality binding posts from WBT provide a solid connection at the rear of the cabinet. Cabinets are available in Walnut real wood veneer or a 16 layer process paint lacquer finish in any RAL colour of the customers choosing.
