Fluid Audio Image 2 Studio Monitor

The Fluid Audio Image 2 Studio Monitor is a dedicated nearfield/midfield workhorse. Using the latest DSP and Class-D amplification, Fluid Audio has pushed the limits to create stunning results. Delivering accurate imaging, extremely flat frequency response, and incredible bass extension with very low distortion in a closed cabinet.

The Fluid Audio Image 2 Studio Monitor is a 2 in 1 monitor: A full range mixing and mastering system that can switch into cubemix mode at the press of a footswitch. Cubemix mode enables engineers to dial-in low end and midrange levels for even playback on many “bass challenged” devices. It further helps with the adjustment of vocals, nailing the kickdrums and overall balance. It’s future-ready USB port expands the Image 2’s incredible functionality and provides the ability to upload and run exported room correction files natively at the monitor level, as well switching between profiles (Image 2 supports loading of 4 different SoundID Reference profiles) and cubemix mode. Mixing or mastering on the Image 2 will deliver professional results that are more accurate, and more effortlessly achieved than ever before.

ACCURATE AND TRANSPARENT
Using the Fluid Audio DCT (DSP Configuration Tool) you can push SoundID Reference calibration profiles to the built-in embedded DSP platform onboard the Image 2. This will compensate for room imperfections that acoustically treated and un-treated rooms sometimes have. Using SoundID Reference (v5.6 and newer) and a measuring microphone, you can measure your room, create calibration curves specifically for your environment and upload them directly onto the Image 2 with the DCT tool. The Image 2 supports up to 4 different profiles. As an example: Flat target, Dolby Atmos Music, Custom Target as well as Translation Check. All of these can be loaded as different profiles and switched between using the DCT tool running on Windows or OSX. (USB has to be connected to both monitors to switch between the profiles). You can also enable and disable cubemix mode using the DCT tool (which will not affected by the calibration profiles).

COMPACT ALL IN ONE
Fluid Audio has ingeniously incorporated precision accuracy, controlled directivity. Impressively, this system maintains an extended bass response down to -3dB @38Hz (in chamber), ensuring a comprehensive audio experience. The Image 2 stands as a testament to uncompromising audio quality, catering to the discerning preferences of recording engineers and audio enthusiasts alike. In essence, Fluid Audio’s Image 2 offers a complete audio solution, blending pinpoint accuracy, directional control, and a diverse range of input options, all within a space-saving design. Its exceptional bass performance makes it a preferred choice for those seeking exceptional sound quality in a compact format.

DSP AND CONVERTERS
Fluid Audio Image 2 DSP board feature great performance in every aspect. Flagship discrete AD/DA converters. Together with well optimized signal circuitry improves the S/N ratio to 115 dBa. The in-house developed digital signal processing system introduces a range of features that greatly enhance the studio experience. In addition to the analog XLR input, there are an AES digital in and SPDIF IN/out, enabling the possibility of daisy chaining two Image 2 speakers. Moreover, the digital connection bypasses interface conversions, effectively reducing unwanted artifacts.
