Fluid Audio biedt met de DS-serie twee verschillende tafels voor studiomonitors. Zowel de DS5 als de DS8-variant kunnen worden gebouwd met een hoogte van 8,9 cm of 16,1 cm, terwijl drie verschillende hellingshoeken mogelijk zijn (0°, 3° of 6°). Het DS-5 statief is geschikt voor woofers van 4" tot 5" en de DS-8 voor woofers van 7" en 8". Beide versies zijn voorzien van rubberen doppen voor een effectieve akoestische ontkoppeling.
The Fluid FX8's bring a detailed balanced stereo image with pristine highs and lots of punch in the lows. They give me an honest stereo image equal as using great stereo monitor headphones. Without features like eq or boost on the back of the monitors I will likely haven't use it if this actually was included, so that's a good thing. The pair are well designed and enginered monitor speakers with its prime focus on the end user. Compact design with all attention on sound. Various genres go very well with these set of monitors I'm impressed.
The faderport on the front is a welcome feature to have. With incremental fader shifts of 3db this is very useful for mixing and mastering tracks.
The automatic poweramp saver is also a clever feature.
Stands included with this set: Solid construction and easy adjustible to your needs. A well sorted selection of rubber feets and legs is very helpfull to make the stand custom to your desk workarea. Together with FX8 monitors these make them a superb combo that do the speakers work at their best. For the price I can definitely recommend the Fluid Audio FX8 Stand set.
