Launched by PMC alongside the Airfonix wireless system at the CEDIA UK Expo 2009, these are the Free FS1 speakers, which both use the company's Advanced Transmission Line reflex-loading system and will be distributed by PMC.The new speakers are available in either active or passive form, and have space in the base of the enclosure for wi-fi or amplifier units to be concealed, or in the case of the active version built-in amplifiers.The slimline speakers have their connections hidden in the base, and can be used as a conventional wired active speaker, having DSP driver control as well as a 50W amp for the treble and an 80W one for the mid/bass.
Or they can be used with wireless systems such as Sonos, Airport Express or the Airfonix range.The FS1 speakers sell for £3800 a pair, with the matching passive version available for £1800/pr.
