BASSTRAX TRACTRIX DIFFUSER SYSTEM
The Vintage Series incorporates Fyne Audio’s BassTrax downward firing port system in its most advanced and highly tuned format to date, along with Fyne’s largest ever BassTrax implementation in the mighty Vintage Fifteen. Designed as an integrated part of the rigid birch ply cabinets, the lower chamber LF energy is vented downwards onto a large, Tractrix profile diffuser cone that transfers the plane wave LF energy into a 360 degree spherical wavefront.
The Tractrix profile of the diffuser cone maintains a 90 degree angle at each intersection of the expanding wavefront, thus avoiding reflections and creating a smooth bass response in-room. The result is an extended, smooth and incredibly tuneful LF response that integrates seamlessly into the room.
The clever system makes the Vintage loudspeaker much less critical of room positioning, further aiding home integration of the large cabinets. The system was originally applied to horn loudspeakers in the 1920, brought right up to date by Fyne Audio development and patented over the last five years.

CROSSOVER
Drawing heavily on the research and design behind the electronics for the flagship Fyne Audio F1-12, Vintage crossovers distil Dr Paul Mills’ 35+ years of experience in analogue crossover design into the finest, carefully auditioned components, hand-built with point to point wiring. For seamless room integration, each crossover incorporates subtle HF energy and Presence controls. These controls offer owners the option to indulge in lossless fine tuning to achieve the ultimate in personal and room tuned performance.

Each Vintage crossover is a true no compromise design, hand-built onto vibration damping fibreboard panels using some of the world’s finest electronic components, and tuned to deliver truly class leading performance. Leaning on those decades of premium loudspeaker design experience, the design team lead by Dr Paul Mills refined the crossover design by computer modelling, measurement and many hours of critical auditioning.

Featuring silver-plated Matched Crystal OFC wiring throughout, once fully assembled and tested, every Vintage crossover is Deep Cryogenically Treated at a specialist facility. This super freezing and slow thawing process relieves micro stresses in components, wiring and solder joints, maximising signal transfer and delivering greater transparency to the sound.

ELEGANT VINTAGE CABINETS

From the outside, the Vintage Series features sumptuous, luxury design cues taken from the high-end loudspeakers of days long since gone. The finest details include hand-built and finished Walnut veneers, Burr Walnut inlays, gold anodised metalwork trim and plinth style top panel. The beautiful, hand crafted Presence and Energy Adjustment control dial is pure analogue luxury in both form and function, and the wood framed grille cloth weave has been chosen to hark back to a much simpler era of audio.

Beneath that walnut veneer lies a heavyweight, twin cavity birch ply cabinet, with sides formed into contoured curves, designed to optimise mechanical performance and reduce standing waves. The interior architecture has been developed and then tuned to optimise the premium Vintage BassTrax porting system and provide the utmost stable platform for the HF driver. From classic seventies soul to twenties techno, Vintage models deliver the purest, cleanest and most accurate audio every time.

Each model in the Vintage line-up is a striking statement of 'timeless’ aesthetics, from the elegant Vintage Ten to the breath-taking Vintage Fifteen, underpinned by the latest in computer aided enclosure design and contemporary mechanical cabinet engineering. The pinnacle of UK loudspeaker design now harking to back to UK loudspeaker design of the past, ‘back in the day never sounded so good’.
