The HK Audio Fineo FO 5 is an ultra-compact, high-performance passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for precise sound reproduction in a variety of installation environments. Featuring a unique coaxial 5" woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter, the FO 5 offers exceptional sound quality with 110° horizontal dispersion, making it ideal for close listening distances. This speaker is particularly suited for use as a delay speaker in larger rooms, front sound reinforcement, or as a nearfill solution at the edge of the stage in fixed installations. Its versatility extends beyond just professional audio applications, also making it a great option for high-quality background sound reinforcement in settings like hospitality venues, immersive audio environments, and even home Hi-Fi systems.
The FO 5's compact size and exceptional acoustic design allow it to meet high acoustic standards while offering outstanding performance in tight spaces. The coaxial design ensures uniform sound distribution, reducing distortion and enhancing clarity. When paired with the S112 (F) subwoofer, the FO 5 delivers a full-range, dynamic sound system, ideal for rock, pop gigs, or immersive experiences where every detail matters.
With its robust, acoustically beneficial MDF housing and foam-backed grille, the FO 5 provides both durability and clear sound reproduction. The speaker features a newly designed passive crossover with a self-healing high-frequency protection circuit, ensuring maximum operational reliability for long-term use in fixed installations. The FO 5 also includes a swivel and tilt wall bracket, allowing for precise alignment and space-saving installation. For more specialized requirements, the FO 5 offers compatibility with U-brackets for ceiling mounting and other custom installation needs, including 360° rotatable brackets and L-brackets for wall or ceiling mounting.
Moreover, the FO 5 is certified ball-impact resistant according to DIN 18032-3, making it a robust and dependable choice for demanding environments. The speaker is compatible with several leading DSP and amplifier platforms, including Lab.Gruppen IPX and LEA Professional, providing flexibility for precise tuning and equalization in various audio systems.
