Fluid Audio Image 1 Studio Monitor

The Fluid Audio Image 1 Studio Monitor brings true 3-way reference monitoring, powerful DSP, and remarkably controlled low-frequency performance to studios where every mix decision matters.

Designed for engineers, producers, mastering facilities, post-production rooms, and immersive audio systems, the Image 1 combines dual-opposed 6.5-inch woofers, a dedicated 4-inch aluminum midrange driver, and an AMT high-frequency driver in a compact sealed enclosure. With 475 watts of total RMS amplification, onboard room correction capabilities, and professional analog and digital connectivity, it delivers the precision, imaging, and translation you need without demanding a massive control room. By dividing the frequency spectrum among three dedicated driver sections, the Image 1 allows each component to concentrate on the range it handles best. The dedicated aluminum midrange provides the definition needed for judging vocals, guitars, snare drums, reverbs, and other mix-critical elements, while the AMT Air Motion Transformer delivers fast transient response and extended high-frequency detail. Down low, a pair of active 6.5-inch paper-cone woofers operate in an opposed configuration that helps reduce cabinet reaction forces. Combined with the monitor's sealed enclosure and mechanically coupled woofer system, the design delivers tight, predictable bass behavior that makes it easier to judge low-frequency balance and translation. The Image 1 is equally well suited to modern calibration and immersive monitoring workflows. Its onboard 24-bit/192 kHz DSP supports room-correction profile uploads and can store up to four SoundID Reference calibration profiles directly in the monitoring system. Profiles are transferred through the RJ45 network connection using DCT software, so calibration can remain inside the monitor rather than requiring a correction plug-in to stay active in your DAW. Balanced analog XLR, AES digital input and thru connections, rear-panel acoustic adjustment, and CubeMix functionality provide additional flexibility for stereo, mastering, post-production, Dolby Atmos, and other multi-channel monitoring environments.
